Flight Diverted To Philly After Incident

"MYFOXNY.COM - A plane made an emergency landing at Philadelphia International Airport on Thursday morning after an apparent misunderstanding over a man using an Orthodox Jewish prayer device. The plane was headed from LaGuardia Airport to Louisville.

The plane was USAir Flight 3079 run by Chautequa Air. The plane was described as a small commuter plane that holds 50 passengers. It's unknown how many people were on the plane.

Sources now tell Fox News that a man on a plane was using a teffilin, a leather box worn on the arm and head during certain Jewish services and he was praying on the plane."
