American Airlines Flight Diverted to NYC




An alert flight attendant suspected that something may not be right when she observed earlier in the day, one of her passengers boarding an Employee Shuttle riding to the terminal.

While on the LAX-LHR flight the flight crew made a decision to divert the flight to New York as a precaution for the safety of the passenger and flight in the wake of the heightened security awareness that all Americans have been encouraged to have.

The FBI was questioning the passenger this morning at JFK Airport the flight was subsequently canceled and passengers were re-screened before continuing on to London.
