Can anyone add anything helpful here?
I am supposed to be on the flight from CLT to CDG tomorrow. I take this route every month. Does anyone know if this was a PHL crew or a CLT crew? Watching CNN now. Anything would be helpful. thanks.

OK, place your bets. Odds of "real" Jihadist or other terrorist? 1%

No news. But they'll likely continue to update this link. |
Plane is one the ground and has been fully evacuated.

Cut and pasted from CNN.com
"US Airways Flight 787 has landed safely in Bangor," the Transportation Security Administration said in a statement. "TSA is aware of reports of a passenger who exhibited suspicious behavior during flight. Out of an abundance of caution the flight was diverted to BGR where it was met by law enforcement."
It's a shame that we can not harness the abundant caution that seems to be self regenerating. If we could hook it up to a turbine we'd have unlimited free power. |
The continuation of flight 787 from BGR to CLT has been scheduled for a 13:13 EST departure. Hmm....

A U.S. official says the initial reports said a female passenger appeared to be mentally unstable. |

The flight has been diverted to Bangor to accommodate customers from a cancelled flight. The flight from Bangor will continue to Charlotte at 01:00 PM and arrive at 03:27 PM. |

I was going to follow up on IAHPHX theme of laying odds, with the phrase "abundance of caution" getting 99% odds of happening. TSA beat me to it before I had a chance to post it.

Seems that the 50% portion of this prediction is our winner. ;)
BTW. if it was just a "mentally unstable" person, why do you have to evacuate the whole plane? Security theatre at work? |
Accoding to flight status, it Looks like it's delayed again, now. ETD 2:00PM.
