Passengers evacuated from plane at Denver airport after suspicious note found on board

DENVER - A Delta Air Lines flight bound for Salt Lake City was forced to return to Denver International Airport about an hour after takeoff because a suspicious note was discovered on board. <br> <br> Delta spokeswoman Catherine Stengel would not give details about the note. <br> <br> &#34;The pilot returned to Denver as a precautionary measure,&#34; she said. <br> <br> Passengers aboard Flight 1642 on Monday night said the pilot announced that a note containing a bomb threat had been found. <br> <br> &#34;If it was a huge enough threat to turn around, I thought it could be real,&#34; said passenger Edie Ferguson. &#34;I was pretty nervous at that point.&#34; <br> <br> When the plane landed, passengers were taken to the terminal and re-screened, and authorities searched the aircraft. The flight was canceled and another was planned for Tuesday morning. <br> <br> The Boeing 737-800 had 56 passengers and six crew members who were headed to Salt Lake, the site of the Winter Olympics. <br> <br> <br> Copyright 2002 Associated
