Flight diverted because of backgammon game...

A US Airways flight from New York to Phoenix was diverted to St. Louis Tuesday morning after three passengers acted suspiciously, and it turns out it was all because of a board game.

A Transportation Security Administration statement said US Airways flight 457 from New York's JFK International Airport landed at Lambert Field in St. Louis shortly before 6 a.m. Arizona time due to the suspicious behavior of three passengers. Agency spokeswoman Sarah Horowitz would not elaborate so it's not known exactly what the three passengers in question were doing.

One passenger said he was told there was a suspicious device, which fellow passenger Gene Austin described as a big wooden box. That box turned out to be a backgammon game. Full story...

Don't miss:
  1. Flight diverted because passenger went to toilet twice? 
  2. Marched off flight by police because there were not enough seats... 
  3. Air India "adjusts" extra passengers in cockpit and toilets!!! 
  4. Woman banned from flight because she was not wearing ... panties??? 
  5. TSA to woman: 'We're going to have to examine your hair'
  6. Passenger ordered off US Airways flight as "security risk" for snapping photo...
  7. Passenger threatened with police arrest for not ceding her seat in overbooked flight...
