What we know:<\/p>\n

Delta said Flight 2313 from LaGuardia to the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport was cleared prior to takeoff due to a security concern. As a result, passengers were forced to deplane and return to the terminal as the situation was investigated.<\/p>\n

While Delta did not explain the concern, the New York Port Authority told WNYW, FOX 9’s affiliate in New York City, that the crew reported a bomb threat around 8 p.m. eastern time. The plane was later cleared by 10 p.m. However, Delta says the flight was delayed until Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

Local perspective:<\/p>\n

Among the people on the flight Tuesday night was Jason Show host Jason Matheson. He documented the trouble live from the tarmac on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“We got boarded, the plane went a little way down the runway,” Matheson recalled. “Stopped for about 40 minutes, and then we were told there was a security issue.”<\/p>\n
