Several reporters are pointing to tweets saying that they are the source of the bomb threat scare at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport Atlanta. It should be noted that officials have yet to specify the nature or origin of these threats, other than deeming them “credible.”

Delta flight 1156 from Portland, Oregon, and Southwest flight 2492 from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, were affected by the threats.

The FBI says it escorted both planes linked to the bomb threat to Hartsfield-Jackson Airport; all passengers will be interviewed and searched.

Southwest Airlines released the following statement Saturday afternoon:

“Due a security situation, the aircraft operating Flight 2492 was taken to a remote area of the airport where Customers and the aircraft are being rescreened. Our number one priority is the Safety of our Customers and People. We cannot comment on the nature of the security situation.”
