LOS ANGELES (AP) — FBI agents on Monday were investigating hoax threats Sunday targeting three domestic airline flights that caused the evacuation of two after landing and the diversion of another.
The agency was trying to determine whether the threats, made online, were linked or if there may have been copycat threats, FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said.
Law enforcement eventually determined the public was not at risk, though hundreds of people were inconvenienced on Sunday.
Passengers were taken from two planes that landed at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. In addition, a Delta Air Lines flight was diverted to Dallas from its Los Angeles-Orlando, Fla., route.
