United Airlines flight at Newark Airport is evacuated on the tarmac after 'a passenger made a bomb threat on board'
A United Airlines flight has been evacuated at Newark Airport after a passenger made a bomb threat on board, reports suggest. A Twitter user uploaded a picture showing a convoy of emergency vehicles at the New Jersey airport on Sunday evening. A pilot's announcement on the plane indicated that a passenger had made a bomb threat aboard the United Airlines plane, according to the Lakewood Scoop.

Should have dropped him into an industrial shredder
Of course, "tarmac" is, as reported by any mainstream reporter, any area of an airport except a runway, so there's no real way to know where this event actually occurred...
Completely ridiculous over-reaction by a paranoid country. If I were the judge I would fine this person but nothing else. All the other charges are B.S. We don't need any more people in jail in the U.S.
Disagree... Needs to be punished to the fullest extinct of the law! No excuse or reason for this. Inconveniences passengers, costs the airlines money and affects the safety of our industry...
I propose a $50,000 fine for any journalist who uses the word "tarmac."
Tarmac is a material. Crushed rock and tar.
Absolutely. Tarmac is short for "tarred Macadam", madacam being a mixture of uniformly sized pebbles and gravel, originally developed by Scotsman John Macadam. Later tar was added to help keep dust down. It would be just as logical for journalist to say, "The plane was parked on the blacktop (the American term)" vs tarmac. One could even say, "The plane ran off the runway onto the grass." What a silly thing about which to get one's knickers into a twist.
