Three flights diverted after bomb threats
2015-01-27
[CBSDFW.COM] A Delta Air Lines front man says a flight from Los Angeles to Orlando was diverted to Dallas Sunday afternoon due to "a security concern."

A tweet was sent out from the twitter handle @AllahuAhkbar911 to various groups including @DeltaAssist.
WE HAVE PLANTED EXPLOSIVES ON DELTA FLIGHT #1061 FROM LA TO ORLANDO, WE ARE ISIS, WE ARE HERE, YOU WONT BE.

Spokesman Morgan Durrant said passengers on Flight 1061 got off the Boeing 737-900 so authorities can search the aircraft.

According to DFW Airport officials, flight 1061 landed at 4:25 p.m. and the airport's DPS crew inspected the plane per protocol.

The airline continued the flight after authorities determine it safe to do so.

Investigators have not confirmed if the person who posted the message is connected to ISIS.
It doesn't really matter if they're formally connected, if they are working toward a common goal. Catch those making threats and throw them in prison for an uncomfortably long time.

Sunday was a busy day for bomb threats:
Bomb Threats Nationwide Force Planes To Reroute, Isolate Upon Landing

[Breitbart] Two planes that had just touched down on Sunday afternoon at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport were immediately isolated, reportedly due to multiple bomb threats. The flights arrived into Seattle from Long Beach, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, and Phoenix, Arizona.

A third plane, a Delta Airlines flight originally scheduled to fly on Sunday afternoon from Los Angeles to Orlando, was diverted to Dallas due to "a security concern."

It remains unclear whether the three Sunday bomb threats are connected. Sunday's threats come just one day after NORAD scrambled two fighter jets to escort two flights to Atlanta. On Saturday, airline officials received a "credible" bomb threat via Twitter, prompting the partial shutdown of Hartsfield Jackson International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia.
