Boeing suspicious device deemed harmless

RIDLEY TOWNSHIP, Pa. - June 15, 2010

This morning around 10:00 CID Bomb Removal and local emergency responders were called out to the Boeing Plant in Ridley Township, Delaware County for the report of a bomb threat.

Boeing says an unexpected package was delivered at about 9:30.

An ex-ray showed suspicious wiring inside, and the Delaware County bomb squad was called in.

The bomb squad took precautions to ensure it was inoperable. The device was isolated and fired on by a remote gun. The package was then carried away by hand.

It was determined that the box contained an electrical component for an aircraft, and was not hazardous.
