Officials say no explosives were found on a plane that returned to JFK Thursday, after suspicious wires were discovered in the plane’s bathroom.
Delta Flight 126 took off at 8:10 p.m. and over the Atlantic turned back toward New York at 9:33 p.m.
Four marshals on board had discovered the wires hanging from the ceiling during a routine security sweep, police and aviation sources said.
Also, at one point, the pilot reported that a woman claimed to be ill. Back at JFK, she was taken away in an ambulance and placed under guard.
The plane taxied to a remote part of the airport and approximately 200 passengers on board were taken to a terminal to be questioned.
Officials briefly questioned a male and female passenger and released them.
