United flight sparks massive response in Vermont after threat found
A United Airlines flight from New Jersey to Vermont sparked a massive emergency response Sunday after a disturbing note was found inside a bathroom.
The pilot notified air traffic control and a massive emergency response was launched at the airport, which was closed for several hours after the plane landed about 4:30 p.m. and was taken to an isolated spot on the tarmac. Sixty-five passengers sat aboard a United plane in Burlington, Vermont, for two hours after a threat was discovered in a restroom during a flight from Newark Airport.Passengers told WPTZ that they were given limited information as they sat on the plane for about two hours before being allowed to get off.Once the plane was cleared, they were allowed to leave the aircraft, but without any of their belongings.One of the 65 people on board was Vermont state Sen. Phil Baruth .
“It feels unfair on one hand that someone left a note and ruined everyone’s day. Obviously someone a little deranged,” he said.Another passenger, Melissa Jones, told WPTZ: “It was scary. I had to stay calm because of my kids.”
