SALT LAKE CITY April 27 — A Delta flight headed from Los Angeles to New York's JFK airport was diverted to Salt Lake City Tuesday after a man "acting strangely" with a butane lighter alarmed the flight crew, officials said.
Flight 1986 left LAX airport about 8 a.m. but landed about 11:05 a.m. at Salt Lake City International Airport. The plane's 139 passengers were taken off the craft to be re-screened while the man was questioned by FBI and Transportation Security Administration agents, airport spokeswoman Barbara Gann said.
Dogs sniffed passenger bags and agents combed through the plane, which was expected to take off again for New York around 1 p.m. MDT.
