Bomb threat: Plane makes emergency landing at JFK airport

A plane travelling from Houston to Germany was forced to land at John F. Kennedy International Airport due to a threat made against the aircraft. Lufthansa flight 411, which was headed for Frankfurt, made an emergency landing when a bomb threat was reported over the phone that evening. The threat was called into Lufthansa’s corporate offices and when the pilot was informed, he chose to divert to JFK, according to officials. The Counterterrorism Unit and the NYPD responded immediately to threat, and found no indication that passengers were in danger beyond the phone call. The aircraft was being searched as of late Monday, Lufthansa said.
