So what made the beeping noise?
 
I’ve looked all over and I didn’t find what made the beeping noise for the United diversion. Anyone know? (Just curious!)

People believe everything they see in the movies. Who the heck would make a bomb that beeps?

Right! OMG! Talk about an abundance of caution, all the way up to an evacuation!😳 Someone packed their alarm clock!

Defibrillator (AED) low battery can make that beeping.

Totally speculative though. Not Monday morning QBing the decision!

In the history of modern aviation we have never found a bomb on an airliner after “bomb on board” has been written on a lavatory mirror yet we still have 364 seat 777s divert anyway to/from Hawaii because the cabin crew is scared.

ABC news said they inspected the whole plane and found nothing. Go figure.

Agreed. Not a good look. But let's wait for the full report...FAs might have reported a fire, or really anything could have contributed to the evac decision...

If they only had 363 seats it would have been a different story
