A United Airlines flight was forced to land nearly 2,000 miles short of its destination after a bomb threat.
The flight departed Newark, NJ on Wednesday morning headed to Los Angeles, but was forced to land in Chicago after someone wrote a threatening note on the bathroom mirror.
The plane was evacuated and searched using bomb-sniffing dogs, who found a suspicious bag with a scent that connected it to the note. A robot was then used to remove the bag from the plane.
One passenger was pulled for questioning by police. The rest of the passengers were booked on another flight.
