UAL Flight Evacuated; Unattended Computer Found On Board

A United Airlines flight from New York landed under fighter jet escort Monday night after a crew member found an unattended laptop computer under a seat, an airline spokeswoman said.
No threat was received but passengers were evacuated on the tarmac at Seattle- Tacoma International Airport and bused to a nearby fire station, said airport spokeswoman Terri-Ann Mohon.

Bomb technicians then boarded the plane to retrieve the computer, she said.

The flight was United Flight 25 from John F. Kennedy International Airport. It landed in Seattle at 8:41 p.m., United spokeswoman Chris Nardella said.

"Our crews always take every precaution," she said, adding crew members notified authorities when none of the 136 passengers claimed the computer.
