CNN is reporting that they are having problems with a passenger but I cannot get a link as of yet. Sherry
http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/delta_plane_diverted_to_bangor_maine_AFfRofrtsPSZteGRaQCPlL The Transportation and Security Administration (TSA) said in a statement that Delta flight 273 from Paris Charles de Gaulle International Airport to Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport was diverted to Bangor International Airport “after Federal Air Marshals responded to a passenger causing a disturbance on board the aircraft.”
Some idiot claimed he had explosives in his luggage. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2940880/delta_flight_273_lands_in_maine_after.html?cat=9
Certainly arrest and fine for everyone's expenses. Idiots. Anyone hear anything about the person? I've been cooking so I have not looked it up. Sherry
Supposedly someone who was active duty Air Force until last year. http://www.roadrunner.com/news/topi...rce_Former_Air_Force_member_claims_explosives They should have strapped the explosives to him, opened the door, and pushed him out. If he didn't have any, then they should have found some that they could have used.
Perhaps a weird case of some kind of PTSD? They said on one of the news channels that he is a veteran of Iraq or Afghanistan war (can't remember which) so I reserve judgement...I feel really badly for him if it is some kind of reaction/hallucination etc from his war experience, that has gone untreated.
