United Airlines Reports Flight Scare Involving NJ's Newark Liberty Airport

(Newark, NJ) -- There's been another United Airlines flight scare involving New Jersey's Newark Liberty Airport. A 34-year-old passenger on United Flight 2174 stormed the cockpit Monday night as the plane was flying to New Orleans. The man allegedly claimed to have a bomb on board. The pilot radioed for help, also alerting other United pilots to a Level Four threat by issuing a special "squawk code 7500." The suspect was arrested when the plane landed and charged with terrorizing. It was just last month that a United flight from Las Vegas to Newark was diverted after a flight attendant saw a passenger sending text messages about hijacking the plane.
