Exclamation UA - San Jose to Denver flight delayed after bullet found on seat

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - A Denver-bound United Airlines flight was delayed after a crew member spotted a bullet on a seat as about 100 passengers were boarding.


David Vossbrink, a spokesman for Mineta San Jose International Airport, says the plane was quickly evacuated. The passengers for the flight were re-screened, as were passengers of an Alaska Airlines flight that were also in the terminal at the time of the incident.

A security sweep of the United plane turned up no other ammunition of weapons.

The passengers were re-boarded onto another plane to continue their travel to Denver.

First of all, no mention of the caliber of the round was made....

This very same scenario happened in BOS to me about six months ago. A pax found a .38 round on the floor in front of his 1st class seat during the boarding process.

The plane had a security sweep done the night before and there were no LEO's on the airplane for at least a week prior...

Let's keep this to the facts. Let's not guess how it got there or who could have carried it on board. Remember we have a large audience that reads these forums daily.
