A United Airlines flight bound for Newark, New Jersey, turned back to its departure airport less than an hour after taking off, according to flight‑tracking data from Flightradar24. The flight, a redeye service, was scheduled to depart from an unspecified U.S. airport and was expected to arrive in Newark, but the aircraft returned to the gate shortly after departure. The incident follows the release of a document that contains the phrase “Crash ur row only.” The document does not specify how the message was sent or to whom it was directed. Authorities have not confirmed whether the phrase was a threat or an unrelated statement. The individual named in the document is scheduled to appear in court for the first time on Tuesday. An attorney listed for the man did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The case is still pending, and no further details have been released.
