Plane Grounded After Suspicious Substance Found

POSTED: 5:08 pm EDT August 3, 2004 MANCHESTER, N.H. -- A US Airways flight from Manchester to Washington, D.C., was grounded Tuesday afternoon after the plane's captain discovered a suspicious substance minutes before takeoff.

Pilot Finds Substance In Lavatory

Hazmat crews were brought in to investigate after the plane's captain called for an evacuation of Flight 3282. Four tests were performed on the substance, but all came back negative.

"It was the captain of the aircraft that found the substance in the lavatory," Manchester Airport Director Kevin Dillon said. "There was a passenger that was in the lavatory prior to that that we also had some discussions with."

That passenger and the other 50 people on the flight were booked on other flights out of the airport.

There was no word on what the substance was, and officials said more tests would be done at the state laboratories.
