PLAME DIVERTED FLY HTH Plane diverted The Bermuda International Airport was a flurry of activity yesterday morning when a TWA flight diverted to discharge an ailing passenger.
The 55-year-old man was suspected of having a heart attack on board TWA flight 104 from Boston to San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The aircraft was diverted to Bermuda and arrived approximately 11.30 in the morning with 174 passengers embarked.
King Edward VII Memorial Hospital officials said the man was discharged around 4.30 yesterday afternoon.
At about the same time the TWA flight landed, American Airlines flight 1440 arrived -- more than 12 hours late after bad weather forced the airline to reschedule the New York to Bermuda route.
