Tefillin Cause Unexpected Landing at PHL
Philadelphia police, the FBI, the FAA and other government agencies were investigating a situation aboard a plane that made a surprise landing at Philadelphia International Airport.
There were reports that a man made a bomb threat aboard a US Airways flight from New York City to Louisville, but it turns out the 17-year-old Jewish boy was armed with nothing more than a Tefillin, which is a leather box worn by Orthodox Jews during prayer.
The unidentified male was arrested upon landing by Philadelphia police and he was turned over to the FBI for questioning and processing.
At the height of the situation, numerous roads were closed around the airport as a precaution. All fire crews and extra police have now been recalled. No one on the ground or on the aircraft was hurt.
