(Pittsburgh, PA) Allegheny County Police recently investigated a “potential security threat” on board a plane that was carrying Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra members. The Allegheny County Police Bomb Squad conducted a sweep of this plane and its passengers out of an abundance of caution after identifying the plane. This occurred on a Sun Country Airlines flight which landed safely at the Pittsburgh International Airport yesterday morning and Allegheny County Police stated that a note deemed potentially threatening was discovered there. Police confirmed the passengers and plane were cleared, and it was later determined the note was not threatening in nature. According to the communications manager for the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Keene Carter, supporting staff and several donors arrived at Pittsburgh International Airport from a sold-out performance at Carnegie Hall in New York City.
