CHARLOTTE, NC — A U.S. Airways flight from Dallas to Charlotte requested security assistance upon arrival Friday. The FBI says there was a “security concern” on board the flight.
A passenger told WCCB Reporter Audrina Bigos that he just wants to know what happened and why law enforcement had to get involved. Right now, the FBI is not telling us any details about the nature of what is being called a “security concern”.
According to officials, U.S. Airways flight 744 from Dallas-Fort Worth requested assistance from law enforcement when it arrived at Charlotte-Douglas. The plane landed safety just before 5:30pm Friday. Passengers say they were allowed off the plane by 7pm.
“Everybody got us on the ground safely,” said King, NC resident Larry Victory. “I’m not gonna complain about it, you know? I mean, it was a little confusing, but, you know, it’s better than what could have happened.”
The FAA says that any time the plane doors are closed, the FBI has full jurisdiction. They say no one on board was hurt, but they are interviewing passengers as part of their safety protocol.
