Share to ClassroomBluetooth Name Sends United Flight Back
A United Airlines plane had to go back to Newark, USA, on Saturday. It was on its way to Spain. A Bluetooth device on the plane had a strange name. The crew saw the name and got worried. There were 190 passengers and 12 crew on the plane.
The crew asked everyone to turn off Bluetooth devices. But two devices stayed on. The pilots called United's office in Chicago. Then they decided to go back. They did not want to fly over the ocean with a possible danger. The name was just a joke, but the rules are strict.
At Newark, all passengers had to leave the plane. Police searched it. Then everyone was checked again before they could get back on. A new plane left on Sunday morning and reached Spain that afternoon. This is the latest problem for United this month.
