The Vermont State Police Bomb Squad boarded a plane at the Burlington airport after a threatening note was discovered.

After landing in Vermont around 4:30 p.m. Sunday, passengers on United Airlines Flight 3613 from New Jersey were held on the plane for two hours and told not to touch their items in the overhead bins.

A ‘phase 5’ response, the most serious classification designated by the FAA, was issued and K-9 officers were used to sweep the plane for a device.

Eventually, the passengers were evacuated from the plane but were unable to take their items with them.

Roads near the airport were closed from 7:00 p.m. on Sunday and all flights in and out of the airport were suspended.

South Burlington Police Chief Shawn Burke said his department was helping Burlington police investigate the threat.

A local WPTZ presenter, Alice Kang, said on Twitter that she was on the plane and was trapped for nearly two hours as police and emergency crews flooded the runway.

“More than a dozen emergency teams at BTV airport after a report of a plane under duress,” Kang wrote. The pilot has just told us that there is a ‘situation’ and that we have to remain seated.

He posted an update nearly two hours after landing saying people were starting to get restless.

‘People are getting frustrated. They want to know what is happening. It’s been almost 2 hours since we landed. The flight attendants told us to wait for the law enforcement officers on the plane,” he wrote.

Still on the track. It’s been about 1.5 hours since we landed. Everyone is calm on the flight. We just wonder what’s going on. https://t.co/I4d905wM10

Then, at 7:20 p.m., the passengers were allowed to leave, but they did not have any of their items left on the plane.

“A lot of people don’t have their car keys with them,” Kang tweeted at the time.

According to Burlington Airport, Phase 5 is activated when there is an emergency involving 30 or more people that requires “significant off-airport emergency resources.”
