UPDATE:

Two JFK-Bound Flights Land After Apparent Threats

POSTED: 1:35 pm EST February 4, 2005
UPDATED: 4:28 pm EST February 4, 2005

NEW YORK -- Two Delta Air Lines planes landed without incident at Kennedy Airport Friday afternoon after authorities received several reports that they had been threatened. Witnesses reported that a passenger from each flight had been removed.

Both aircraft were searched and the pilots interviewed, but no further problems were discovered, authorities said.

Dag Erik Kleven, 20, a passenger from Norway who was on Flight 119 from Paris, said that when his flight landed in New York, he saw two law enforcement officers board the plane. He said a man in his 20s sitting in the first-class section was removed from the plane without incident.

"Everything was calm," Kleven told The Associated Press.

Marcel Teunissen of the Hague, who was aboard Delta Flight 81 from Amsterdam, said that an announcement had been made before the flight took off that there would be a slight delay because a woman had been taken off the plane due to security concerns.

A spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Steve Coleman, said that at about 12:45 p.m., his agency, which operates Kennedy Airport, received a number of reports, which he said were subsequently found to be erroneous, from "various federal agencies."

He said the reports alleged first that there were seven "people of interest" on Flight 119, which had originated from Bombay, India, and then only one.

A third report, Coleman said, had the plane being escorted to Kennedy Airport by F16 fighters. "The Port Authority took the necessary precautions and mobilized," Coleman said. Port Authority and federal law enforcement agents questioned both pilots and determined "there was absolutely no problem on board either flight," he said.

Earlier, MSNBC reported that Flight 119 had received a threat that came into NORAD, or the North American Aerospace Defense Command, in Colorado Springs, Colo., that on Flight 81, from Amsterdam, there was a "discovery of a person of interest," it said.

A THREAT from NORAD? Or a report from NORAD?

Odd wording.

The way I read it is that the threat was called into NORAD. In my opinion there is more to this story

I tried to make reservations on Delta last night, was on hold forever then I could not understand the agent- such a heavy accent. It was very annoying and I sent them an email telling them so.

"person of interest" Was Cat Stevens on the plane again?

It was Leo Sayer in another shrewd career move.

Quite a coincidence the use of the palindrome 119. I'd say someone is sending a coded message and using our communication matrix in order to activate an operation (that is if I was the paranoid type).

Thanks.

The Pennsylvania plane, it was never decided exactly what its target was.

So once again, an unknown goal.

Free Republic is often the #2 place on the web to post a breaking story. Since #1 could be any of a thousand sources, and on 99% of all other stories that source is late, that makes FREE REPUBLIC FAR AND AWAY THE BEST SOURCE FOR BREAKING NEWS on the net. Much better than, say, any network or AP breaking...

The threat came into NORAD? That's peculiar, isn't it?

Since they are the recipient of our taxpayers dollars, plus many concessions from the different communities and airports they serve, I don't like the idea of sending this money to help the Indian economy instead of keeping it here in this country.
