A United Airlines flight was forced to
make an emergency landing at
Vancouver International Airport early
Saturday morning after a passenger
left a threatening message. Flight 1104 left Anchorage at 11:39
p.m Friday en route to Denver with
131 passengers and six crew. Midway through the flight the crew
elected to turn back to Vancouver
after finding the message, according to
United spokesman Charlie Hobart. It’s not known what the message said. Emergency crews surrounded the
plane when it landed in Vancouver at
4:15 a.m. Saturday. A passenger who was on the plane
told CTV News the flight landed
without any announcement from the
pilot or crew. He said police boarded the plane and
removed the passenger who allegedly
made the threat. Richmond RCMP
confirmed they have a suspect in
custody. The witness said the passenger
seemed unstable and had been getting
up and down a lot in his seat. United said it’s working to book
passengers on alternate flights. An airport spokesperson said the
incident had no effect on airport
operations.
