stablemate77, your statement is not accurate. There's a scheduled plane change in PHL as the flight number continues on to Pittsburgh.

Was it an emergency landing if the original destination was PHL? Was the threat called just before it approached PHL? Otherwise, it seems they would have landed somewhere else enroute.
