Washington D.C.-bound plane escorted by military jet

Posted 11/9/12

DENVER — A United Airlines flight from Denver has landed safely in Washington, D.C., after its crew reported an emergency because a passenger began praying in an aisle.

The plane was escorted by military jets after the crew declared the emergency. The plane landed Thursday at Dulles International Airport.

The crew made the decision because a male passenger started praying in the middle of an aisle. United spokeswoman Megan McCarthy says a passenger wasn’t following flight attendant instructions for landing.
