· A U.S. Airways jet was diverted to Oklahoma City after a federal air marshal subdued a disruptive passenger who had pushed a flight attendant, the FBI said.
The passenger was taken into custody after the plane landed at Will Rogers World Airport, said Gary Johnson, an FBI spokesman. The passenger was undergoing a mental evaluation, and authorities had yet to determine what charges he might face. The jet returned to flight three hours later on its trip from Phoenix to Charlotte.
· A Continental Airlines flight from Corpus Christi, Tex., to Bakersfield, Calif., was held in El Paso, one of its scheduled stops, after the crew discovered a missing panel in the lavatory, authorities said.
The crew of Flight 2258 discovered the missing panel, and passengers were being screened and interviewed upon landing in El Paso, the TSA's Amy von Walter said.
· A utility knife was found on a vacant passenger seat of a U.S. Airways flight traveling from Philadelphia to Bradley International Airport in Connecticut, police said.
Authorities said they received an emergency call at about 8:25 a.m. reporting that a passenger on U.S. Airways Flight 554 had found the knife and reported it to a flight attendant. When the plane arrived at Bradley, state troopers boarded the aircraft, seized the knife as evidence and interviewed passengers.
No arrests were made and there were no threats involved, said Master Sgt. J. Paul Vance, state police spokesman. Authorities did not know whether a worker inadvertently left the knife on the plane or a passenger brought it on, Vance said.
