- Share via
An MGM Grand Air jet bound for New York from Los Angeles made an emergency landing Friday at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas after a bomb threat was made to a reservations clerk.
The DC-8, which carried 47 passengers and 10 crew members, stayed on the ground for about two hours while bomb-sniffing dogs searched the interior and the luggage was run through a scanner.
No bomb was found, but the plane was delayed further while mechanics fixed a flat tire.
