Hawaii-California planes diverted over bomb threat and message on mirror

United flight to LA forced to turn back over ‘concern found written on lavatory mirror’ as Hawaiian flight also delayed

Two planes traveling between Honolulu and southern California were diverted due to safety concerns, one for a bomb threat, another for a “security concern” found written on a bathroom mirror.

United flight 1169 left Daniel K Inouye international airport at 9.40pm on Tuesday night, headed for Los Angeles international airport. Data from FlightAware shows the airplane reversing course east of Hawaii, and headed back to Honolulu.
