NYCMYFOXNY.COM - A plane was quarantined at Philadelphia International Airport. The plane was headed from LaGuardia Airport in New York to Louisville on Thursday morning when there was an in-flight incident.
The plane was a USAir flight run by Chautequa Air. The plane was described as a small commuter plane that holds 50 passengers. It's unknown how many people were on the plane.
At least 12 police cars and fire vehicles were seen heading to the airport, according to Fox Philadelphia.
One person was taken away from the plane in custody and the rest of the passengers were released.
Sources now tell FOX 29 News that a man on a plane was using a teffilin, a leather box worn on the arm and head during certain Jewish services and he was praying on the plane.
Straps ran down from arm to his body as he was praying on the plane and a passenger became suspicious. The man was questioned by airline personnel, whio didn't get answers to satisfy them, so they diverted the plane to Philadelphia.
The US Airways flight was bound for Louisville.
The plane landed and taxied to a remote section of the airport. All passengers disembarked and are safe.
The individual who apparently caused the disturbance was in custody and is being questioned. He was said to be cooperative.
The airport is open.
All passengers have been removed safely from the plane.

ReplyDeletemake sure you have a place to land the plane. Jacmel airport is decimated.
ReplyDeleteLuckily, I can't afford a plane ticket, much less something expensive. (I doubt my bag would arrive at the same airport I did, anyway.)
