Plane Lands After Bomb Threat

VIDEO: CBS 2 News reports.

Jan 9, 2004 4:11 pm US/Central
Southwest Airline Flight 1003 took off from Midway Airport and has apparently been called back and returned to the airport after a bomb threat that was called in by phone.

As a precaution, the pilot made the decision to turn the plane around and return to the airport. There were 123 passengers and five crew members onboard.

Officials said that the bomb threat came from a phone call placed at a Shell gas station at Garfield Boulevard and Wells Street around 3 p.m.

In such a situation, they normally deplane the passengers, get them out of harm's way and search the airplane very carefully before they bring the plane into the terminal. The passengers will probably be rescreened, put on another flight and go on their way to Phoenix.

The aircraft currently being searched by authorities. Officials estimate there will be a two hour delay before passengers resume the flight, West said.

"Our goal now is to make sure that plane gets the all clear and to get those passengers on their way to Phoenix," said Southwest spokesperson Ed West.
