INVESTIGATORS found no explosives aboard a Los Angeles-bound Thai Airways flight in which a bomb threat was found scrawled on a bathroom mirror, the FBI said yesterday.
Airport officials were notified at 7:15pm on Tuesday of the alleged threat, FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said.
Flight 794 landed safely at Los Angeles International Airport just before 9pm on Tuesday and was taken to a remote area of the airport where passengers exited the plane and the search was conducted, Eimiller said.
Investigators conducted a thorough search of the plane and found no evidence to suggest a credible threat to the aircraft existed, she said. All passengers were immediately removed from the plane, interviewed and released, Eimiller said. There were no arrests.
Thai Airways president Piyasvasti Amranand said the message - written in English with bad grammar - warned that a bomb was on the plane.
"This must have caused some nuisance to the passengers," he said from Singapore. "It sounds like it was done by a crazy person."
Thai Airways said in a statement that there were 171 passengers and 18 crew members on board.
