En plein vol, il affirme que sa femme a une bombe dans sa valise, l’avion se pose en urgence

Explosives specialists were called in on Sunday to search a United Airlines plane that made an emergency landing in St. Louis (USA) after a bomb threat.

United Airlines Flight 380, en route from Dallas to Chicago, was forced to make an emergency landing in St. Louis, Illinois, on Sunday morning. The captain made the decision after being informed that one of the 119 passengers had claimed there was a bomb in his wife's luggage, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The aircraft was evacuated.

More than five hours late

Specialized teams were then deployed, accompanied by dogs trained to detect explosives. In a statement, United Airlines indicated that law enforcement had searched the aircraft and subsequently cleared it to depart for Chicago without incident in the early afternoon. The flight ultimately experienced a delay of five hours and 33 minutes, according to People.

The airline stated that the diversion of the Boeing 737-700 was carried out to "address a potential security concern." The man who had been reported to the captain by crew members after mentioning a bomb was apprehended and taken into custody.
