UAL jet held on SJC runway after mysterious powder scattered in cabin

(AP) October 13, 2001 -- About 80 passengers were held aboard a jetliner
Saturday afternoon after a man reportedly stood up in mid-flight and
released a powdery substance into the air ventilation system. 

Police, FBI and emergency crews were setting up a decontamination tent
for the passengers of United Airlines Flight 1669 from Chicago. 

"There was apparently a report of a Middle Eastern male who went to the
rear of the plane and opened up an envelope.  It had some powder in it
and it went through the air duct system," said police spokesman Rubens
Dalaison. 

The witness and the man who was accused of dispersing the powder were
taken off the plane and were being decontaminated. 

Fire department personnel took air samples from inside the Airbus 319
jet to determine if any toxic agents were present, Dalaison said. 

Airport spokesman Jim Peterson said someone from flight crew radioed to
the San Jose tower about 2:30 p.m.  and told them that a witness
reported seeing a man open up an envelope and disperse an unknown
substance into an air vent. 

At Washington's Dulles International Airport, a spokeswoman said a
powdery substance found in a restroom on a United plane from London was
being tested at an Army laboratory in Maryland. 

Spokeswoman Tara Hamilton said the flight was met Saturday by a
hazardous materials team and FBI agents, who determined that 17 people
out of 216 passengers and 14 crew members had used the bathroom. 

The 17 passengers were detained and preliminary decontamination steps
were taken on them, which Hamilton said consisted for most part of
washing their hands.
