10月15日，一架从 IAD 飞往 FCO 的UA波音 767-400 (B764) 型客机由于一名旅客的手提电脑顺着舱壁滑进了货舱内而返航回了华盛顿杜勒斯国际机场
UAL126: “Yeah, unfortunately, we’re gonna have to get a clearance to return to Dulles. We have minor situation here with a passenger who has somehow dropped a laptop, that was on, down the sidewall into the cargo pit area of the airplane. And we‘re just… You know, we don’t know the status of it. We can’t access it. We can’t see it. So our decision is to return to Dulles and find this laptop before we can continue over the ocean.
…
This is just out of abundance of caution and just precautionary. You know, due to the lithium battery in the cargo area where it’s actually even… not even near the suppression system we have for, you know, fires down there. So this is just a safety precaution”
