Bomb threat diverts plane to Salt Lake City

An airliner that was diverted mid-flight because of a bomb threat was being scoured by investigators at Salt Lake City International Airport on Thursday.
Airport spokeswoman Barbara Gann said a flight attendant found a
note while the 757 was en route from Denver to San Francisco and
turned it over to the pilot.
“The note was threatening enough for the pilot to feel like he
should divert,” Gann said.
Gann said the passengers and crew were taken to the
international terminal, where the FBI planned to interview
passengers while trying to figure out the note’s origin.
The plane was being searched at a runway away from the airport
terminals, where a German shepherd was sniffing luggage on the
tarmac.
United Airlines spokeswoman Jean Medina says United Flight 741
requested help from law enforcement authorities and was cooperating
with the FBI. She said 168 passengers and six crew were on the
flight that departed Denver at 8:23 a.m. MST and was diverted to
Salt Lake City at 9:46 a.m. MST.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command says it did not
launch fighter jets.
