According to AA's website, AA4959 is indeed an American Eagle flight. It's listed as a plane type "ER3", which is an Embraer ERJ-135, a Brazilian-built 37-seat twinjet.

Most likely nothing but some idiot looking for attention. He'll be getting some.

FOX News reports the reason for the flight diversion was a passenger passed a note to the flight attendant that he had a bomb !

She alerted the pilot who got instruction to go to Dulles instead of Reagan ...

The WTOP's Neil A... reporting live from Dulles said a male was in FBI custody. We'll see if that changes in the next update.

well, if the fool was drunk, maybe he wrote "I think you're the bomb" and his penmanship is poor?

Airports authority spokemsan Tara Hamilton said that FBI agents took a man into custody after questioning him aboard the plane. The other 23 passengers were questioned and released.

That stupid/drunk idiot's got some 'splainin' to do--and he'll be doing from inside a jail cell. Hope he enjoys his weekend.

The F.N.C. anchors are truly clueless on this one....Female anchor: "NTSB spokesperson told us that passenger handed..." NTSB? I don't think so...try TSA. Male anchor:"...have you notified all towers/airlines of this incident Mr. TSA?" Huh? Fox anchor quality takes a big dive on the weekends.
