A U.S. plane bound for Charlotte, North Carolina, made an early landing after a woman claimed she was carrying a surgically implanted device, BBC reported.

US Airways flight 787 from Paris Charles de Gaulle landed in Bangor, Maine, after two F-15 jets were scrambled in response to the incident.

The Boeing 767, carrying 179 passengers and nine crew, landed around noon.

The security alert was raised when the woman handed a note to flight attendants saying that she had a device surgically implanted.

Doctors examined the French woman but found no recent scars.

The flight continued its journey to Charlotte about three and a half hours later, after passengers had been interviewed by the FBI. (点击英国广播公司网站查看原文)

乘客称体内有炸弹引虚惊

       由于一名女乘客称自己体内植入了爆炸装置,一架飞往北卡罗来纳州夏洛特的飞机被迫提前着陆。

       据英国广播公司报道,接警后,两架F-15战斗机紧急起飞护航。

       从巴黎戴高乐机场起飞的全美航空787次航班于中午时分降落在缅因州班戈市。这架波音767客机上共有179名乘客和9名机组人员。

       据悉,一位法国女乘客给了空乘一张字条,声称自己体内植入了爆炸装置,安全警报由此拉响。

       但是医生并没有在她身上发现新近形成的伤疤。

       三个半小时之后,联邦调查局结束了对机上乘客的问询,航班才又接着飞向夏洛特。
