FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A Northwest Airlines plane was evacuated Monday morning at Hector International Airport after a passenger claimed to have overheard someone mention a bomb, police said.
Sgt. Steve Link said the plane's crew was alerted and passengers were told to leave the plane around 5:30 a.m.
The plane was ready to leave for Minneapolis-St. Paul with more than two dozen passengers. They were instead taken to a secure area where they were questioned by local authorities and representatives of the Transportation Security Administration.
