According to authorities, a plane that was about to take off from a South Florida airport was returned to the gate after a passenger found a bomb threat written in a magazine.
The Broward County Sheriff's Office says that the note indicated that there was a bomb aboard the Spirit Airlines flight bound for Atlanta taking off from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
Authorities received a call about the bomb threat around 10pm ET. As a precaution, a bomb squad swept the plane.
