| FBI: BOMB THREAT ON PLANE A HOAX
2010-09-09 Los Angeles — The threatening note found in the bathroom of a Thai Airways plane was a hoax, FBI officials said on Wednesday. A passenger aboard Flight 794 scrawled the bomb threat in broken English on a bathroom mirror, but no arrest was made and the investigation continues, FBI spokesperson Laura Eimiller said. There was no indication that a crew member was involved, she added. Making a phony threat against an airliner is a federal crime that carries a maximum sentence of five years in federal prison, Eimiller said. The plane, carrying 171 passengers and 18 crew members, was heading from Bangkok to Los Angeles when the threat was discovered. “This must have caused some nuisance to the passengers”, Thai Airways President Piyasvasti Amranand told The Associated Press from Singapore. “It sounds like it was done by a crazy person”. The Airbus A340-500 landed safely just before 21:00 on Tuesday and was taken to a remote area of the airport, where FBI investigators interviewed the passengers, searched the plane and determined the threat was a hoax. “It was cleared last night by the bomb technicians. They thoroughly searched the interior of the plane as well as the cargo hold and all of the baggage”, Eimiller said. A Thai Airways statement said the plane's return flight was delayed by several hours. The jetliner finally left Los Angeles at about 02:30 on Wednesday, airport spokesperson Albert Rodriguez said.
