An Ohio airport spokesman said Monday that a bomb threat led to passengers being evacuated from a plane that landed in Columbus after a flight from Texas. Angie Tabor with the Columbus Regional Airport Authority said that the threat was made before American Airlines Flight 302 landed in Columbus roughly midday Monday on a regularly scheduled flight from Dallas/Fort Worth Airport. Tabor said that 133 passengers and five crew members were being evacuated from the plane, a Boeing MD80, which was parked away from the terminal in line with airport procedures. Tabor said that other flights were proceeding normally. She said that airport police, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Columbus bomb squad were investigating.
