BANGOR, Maine (AP) - An American Airlines flight from England to Chicago was forced to land here Friday for security reasons, and a U.S. Airways jet was diverted to Oklahoma City after a federal air marshal subdued a passenger who was involved in an incident with a flight attendant, officials said.
Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Arlene Murray said American Airlines Flight 55 out of Manchester was diverted to Bangor for security reasons but would not elaborate. FBI spokeswoman Gail Marcinkiewicz also declined to discuss the nature of the problem.
"We're responding to determine the cause of the diversion. It's going to take a number of hours for passengers to be interviewed," Marcinkiewicz said.
