DETROIT (WXYZ) - The FBI released a statement Monday regarding the September 11th security scare involving a plane that landed at Detroit Metro Airport.
Fighter jets were ordered to follow a Frontier Airlines flight from Denver to Detroit after reports that three passengers were behaving suspiciously.
According to a statement released by Frontier, flight 623 - which originated in San Diego - was diverted from the gate in Detroit after landing at 3:30 p.m., and passengers were taken to a remote area of the airport for questioning.
Read the entire press release below:
On September 11, 2011, Frontier Flight 623 was diverted to a hotpad after landing at Detroit Metro Airport. This was a precautionary measure based on reports of suspicious activity on the plane during flight and the heighten security measures during the 10th Anniversary of 9/11.
Three individuals were removed from the plane, 2 males and 1 female. They were questioned by the FBI-JTTF and were very cooperative. Crew members and several other passengers were also questioned. After questioning and determining there was not threat, all were released without any charges being filed.
The three individuals were strangers to each other, but sat in the same row on the plane. One of the males, who was not feeling well, got up to use the restroom during the flight. The other male at approximately the same time got up to use the restroom. The female remained seated in her row.
It should be noted that at no time were there ever two people in the bathroom at the same time, and at no time were the three individuals uncooperative with the flight crew.
The FBI would like to thank the public and the airlines for remaining vigilant at all times.
