Nothing harmful found on US-bound BA jet that received threat
An unspecified threat to an arriving British Airways flight forced the evacuation of the plane at Newark Liberty Airport Thursday afternoon, but no suspicious items were found in the plane or in passengers' luggage, officials said. The plane carrying 206 passengers and 13 crew members arrived from London at approximately 1 p.m. and was taken to a remote area of the airport, where a canine team conducted a search of the cabin and cargo area. Passengers said they weren't aware of the threat until they landed. "The entire flight down, nobody knew anything until we were already on the ground and there," said Sean Fitzgerald, a passenger from New Jersey. "That's when the pilot came over the intercom and told us what was going on, and he basically said there was a threat that was called in and they had to do some security measures." <br/>
