United flight to LA diverted to Chicago due to bomb threat
CHICAGO -- A flight traveling to Los Angeles International Airport was diverted to Chicago after a bomb threat Wednesday morning. United Flight 1533, with 202 passengers, took off from Newark Liberty International Airport at 6:05 a.m. and landed at O'Hare Airport at 7:44 a.m. Chicago time. Police confirmed the passengers were evacuated, and the plane was being searched at a remote location at O'Hare Airport.
CBS 2 has learned that a bomb-sniffing K-9 found one suspicious bag, and a robot was deployed to move it away. Police are questioning the passenger who checked that bag. A passenger on the flight told CBS 2 that he boarded a bus with police and was being taken back to the airport terminal. He said passenger's bags are being checked. 'They are taking us back to a terminal I guess they will go through bags, maybe question us,' the passenger said.
