American Airlines Flight 24 from San Francisco International Airport headed to JFK Airport was grounded due to a bomb threat: "The airport police 'received a threatening phone call' just before the flight was about to takeoff." Fox News says, "A TSA official told Fox News that the phone threat was regarding a hijacking. The TSA said passengers were being taken off the plane on at least five buses to be interviewed and re-screened. American Airlines spokesman Tim Smith said the threat was phoned into local police. He said there were no hostages, but the TSA has moved the plane to a remote tarmac."
