Heard this on Fox.
American Airlines flight 4959. They do not know the reason; if it is security or mechanical concerns.
Ah, now Fox reporting the flight departed a "short time ago" and for reasons unknown diverted. Original destination was Reagan International. Reporting usually this type of thing is done if someone stands up when they're not to or something.

They say American....but with a flight number like that, I would say its a commuter plane...maybe American Eagle.....likely put in the wrong squak code and were diverted.

Fox saying some ramblings about miscommunications, passengers standing up when they should have been sitting....sorry, Fox is just as out of it as I am at the moment.

I thought that the 4 digit flights were small twin prop commuter planes.

Last time I flew into Reagan we were told if anyone got our of their seat during the last 30 minutes we would be diverted to Dulles and it would be up to us to get our own transportation to DC.
That is AFTER we finished with the FBI, so this sounds like standard procedure.
To: Hillarys Gate Cult
I said it was LaGuardia to Reagan International in my post and quoted the flight number reported by Fox.
It has been diverted to Dulles for "reasons unknown", but it's looking like some mundane reason.

Having flown American Eagle tree toppers before, I wouldn't call them airliners. Riding in the trunk of a car would be more comfortable.

Nah, a wrong squawk code would be caught immediately after take-off and corrected without any excitement.

The AA web site does list this as an American Eagle (commuter) flight as you suspect.

Fox reporting it has landed at Dulles.
Left LaGuardia about 11:00 and was to land at Reagan at 12:10. Confirming there was "a threat" but no details.
(I'll guess the person standing up scenario is what happened)
