This Wednesday morning, travelers on an American Airlines flight from Newark to Dallas were met with an unexpected plan change when their aircraft was diverted to Pittsburgh International Airport. The reason for the sudden detour was a cryptic message penned in pink on the bathroom door of the plane, suggesting the presence of a bomb. As reported by WPXI, a flight attendant found a troubling note and told the pilot, who had decided to land the plane in Pittsburgh. Law enforcement was ready to handle the situation, but after questioning and searching the last two people to use the bathroom, no pink pen—the one mentioned in the note—was found.

Luckily for the worried passengers and crew, the threat did not become a tragedy. As CBS News Pittsburgh reported, a spokesperson for the FBI Pittsburgh confirmed, "A sweep of the plane was conducted and agents and officers found no active threat onboard the aircraft." This conclusion undoubtedly brought relief to many.

Although the FBI stated that it was unclear when the note was written, travelers were subjected to a pause in their journey as authorities diligently searched the plane. Equipped with K-9 units, law enforcement officials scoured the aircraft, ensuring that every potential hiding spot, no matter how small, was checked with great scrutiny. The plane was swept entirely, and no threat was found, the FBI conveyed in a statement reported by WPXI. The flight was given clearance after the sweep to resume its journey to Dallas and, by Wednesday afternoon, had landed safely at its intended destination.
