United Flight Diverted to Chicago After Bomb Threat Note Found on Plane
- A United Airlines flight from Newark to LA was diverted to Chicago after a bomb threat note was found in the plane's bathroom
- The plane, carrying over 200 passengers and crew, was evacuated once it landed in Chicago
- A suspicious bag was singled out by a bomb-sniffing dog and removed by a robot
- Passengers were not allowed to take any items off the plane and some were later allowed to reboard after it was cleared
- This was the second threat this week against a commercial flight, following a threat on Monday against an Air Canada flight in Newark
