Bomb threat grounds plane, lands man in jail
It did. No bomb was found, and he was arrested. Ronald Ellis, 24, who was trying to get home to Philadelphia after a vacation in Florida, was jailed Monday on a charge of threatening to discharge a destructive device.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A man whose luggage got on board a flight he missed claimed there was a bomb in his bags in hopes the plane would return to the airport.
Ellis was angry at missing USAir Flight 804 when he reported the bomb, said Broward County sheriff's spokesman Jim Leijedal.
The plane, which had been in the air for 20 minutes, returned to a remote area of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. All 120 passengers and crew were escorted from the Boeing 737 jetliner, and Ellis led police to his luggage.
"He decided to report that there was in a bomb in his luggage figuring that the plane would have to come back to the airport," Leljedal said.
Third explosive mine found intact in San Antonio River
"He was right, but he is going to jail."
The flight to Philadelphia was delayed one hour and 40 minutes.
SAN ANTONIO — For the third time in 10 days, park rangers have found a small, homemade mine or its remnants bobbing below the surface of the San Antonio River.
"They'll cause a large bang and a lot of noise when they do go off," said park ranger Sgt. R.D. Guerrero.
The latest device, found Sunday, was the first mine investigators found intact. It was capable of causing a minor explosion but seemed to be designed more to startle, rangers said.
Investigators said the mine's design and location raised questions about whether it was intended for one of the river barges, which began operating Friday under new ownership.
The device found Sunday was fashioned from a plastic soda bottle and tied by shoestrings to a piece of metal designed to make it bob just beneath the water's surface, investigators said.

The first mine that was found blew a hole in a net used by maintenance crews to remove debris from the river, Guerrero said.
However, he said the devices posed little risk to people.
