Flight Makes Emergency Landing After Vintage Camera Is Mistaken for a Bomb
October 12, 2021
An American Airlines flight had to make an emergency landing at LaGuardia Airport after a passenger’s vintage camera was mistaken for a bomb. Valerie Falcetta was on the plane. She says passengers pushed and shoved each other to evacuate. Passengers say a man took out his antique camera mid-flight and started playing with it, which alarmed some people on the flight. The Joint Terrorism Task Force "determined that there was no criminality on the part of the passenger and he was released."
