It's possible that Phoenix airport is not equipped to handle this sort of emergency, and that's why they called it back. Also, we don't know how far into the flight this was. A bomb can have a timer..........better to get the plane back as fast as possible.

I hear it's a false alarm...actually, Michael Moore got on the flight right from attending a chili cook-ff.

"I just got a call from my sister, her son is on that plane."
Statistics say that this is almost certainly a hoax. Try not to worry too much.

Your info is seriously screwed:
"Ground Spd: 135 kts (Assigned: 0454) - note that 135 knots is below stall speed!
Altitude: 009(hundreds of feet) (Assigned: 280) - Only 900 feet up? Maybe this is on final...
Type: B733 (Boeing Company Model 737-300)
Origin Apt: MDW CHICAGO MIDWAY INTL
Dest Apt: PHX PHOENIX SKY HARBOR INTL
Departed: 2120Z ETA As Filed: 0030Z, Calculated ETE: 9h 16m - NINE HOURS for a flight to Phoenix? I --- DON'T ---- THINK -----So.

I heard that the crew had tried to play the movie Gigli as the in-flight movie. But that can't be. Southwest does not have in-flight movies.

Each of those articles details a different flight, both number and airline.

MSNBC just reported that a plane (United) that had flown from Chicago and landed in Omaha has stayed in Omaha with its sheduled departure on cancelled due to a flight attendant finding putty with wires in it in the bathroom.
