A US Airways flight bound for Bermuda this morning [Oct 7] has been grounded before takeoff from Philadelphia International Airport due to a security problem. Passengers were removed from US Airways Flight 1070 and the plane has been towed away and is being searched.
The international media is reporting that Philadelphia police say initial reports from the scene indicate a person lacking a security badge was helping load the plane.
Police told Action News that at around 12 noon Bermuda time today, two US Airways employees were loading Flight 1070 to Bermuda.
A third man helped the two employees and, police say, he was in a US Airways uniform without identification. The man then walked away and can’t be found. Those two employees then alerted authorities, who stopped the plane.
Without knowing any more than what's in this article, my guess is that it was an employee who had either lost (most likely) or forgot his id. PHL is a big station & not everyone would know everyone. Now based only on what's given. the only thing I would question is why they can't find the employee.
