Plane At Philadelphia Airport Evacuated


PHILADELPHIA - Police and airport officials are sweeping a plane at Philadelphia International Airport after passengers were removed for what they called an unspecified threat.

The plane was a flight to Philadelphia from Glascow, Scotland. The plane was taken from terminal A to a safe location. It is a flight on U.S. Airways.

Luggage was on the ground outside the plane as it was inspected by the bomb squad.

Sources tell Fox 29 investigators may have found a suspicious note on the plane.

Philadelphia airport spokeswoman Victoria Lupica said Friday that passengers have gotten off the plane and that it is being searched as a precautionary measure.

Police said there was an unspecified threat but did not have more immediate details.

Lupica said the incident has been referred to the FBI.
