I just heard on the radio that it's a UA flight from ORD-SJC (UA 1669) - currently the aircraft is parked at SJC, a bio-hazard team is on-board, and there is at least one witness who saw a man empty a white powder from an envelope into the 'ventilation ducts'.
just heard on KCBS/740 that enroute from ORD to SJC a man was spotted "emptying white powder into the ventilation system". police and fire trucks greeted UA1669 on the tarmac at SJC and are in the process of decontaminating the 80 pax and crew onboard. details are sketchy at best...
1.) Delta Airlines JFK-AMS stopped by FBI, 2 passengers detained due to "suspicious one way bookings".
2.) USAirways 121 Charlotte-DEN diverted to IND due to "suspicious white poweder". That powder tested negative to Anthrax spores.
3.) United Airlines 777 on tarmac at IAD (either from OR to LHR) being quarantined. No word on why.
4.) No reported news of SJC story, perhaps either miscommunication or rumor?
4)に対するレス No, not a rumor, it is on the local SF news radio, SJC ground ops mgr has been interviewed: Hazmat crews and police on the scene, and a suspect has been detained, and all passengers and crew have been isolated pending tests.
"There was apparently a report of a middle eastern male who went to the rear of the plane and opened up an envelope. It had some powder in it and it went through the air duct system,"
FBI agent just spoke ... looks to be nothing more than confetti that spilled out of a greeting card. Appears 80 angry passengers h ave been confined to the aircraft since 2:30 or so.
