ATLANTA, Ga. (WTVF) — A Southwest Airlines flight traveling from Nashville to Fort Lauderdale was diverted to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Friday night after a reported security threat.
Southwest Flight 2094 landed in Atlanta around 9:06 p.m. on March 6. A passenger was removed from the plane by police after the threat was reported.
The FBI and the Atlanta Police Department investigated and interviewed the person involved. Authorities determined there was no credible threat, and no charges will be filed.
In a statement, a Southwest spokesperson said the plane landed safely after diverting to respond to a possible security matter.
“We appreciate the professionalism of our Flight Crew and sincerely apologize to our Customers for the significant delay,” the spokesperson said. “Nothing is more important to Southwest than the safety of its Customers and Employees.”
Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
