Dublin on Monday because a passenger left an old cell phone plugged into a socket in a restroom on the aircraft, according to police and aviation authorities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>The Boeing 767-300, which had traveled from Istanbul, Turkey, was eventually cleared by Dublin Airport to continue on to the John F Kennedy airport in New York after it was determined that the suspected bomb was, in fact, just an unattended cell phone and charger.&nbsp; The pilot had requested an emergency landing and it arrived without incident in Dublin Airport, where it was diverted to an isolated corner on the runway, Lillian Cassin, a spokeswoman for the Irish Aviation Authority, says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>The Garda Siochana, the national police force of Ireland, boarded the plane and talked to the pilot about the suspected bomb, before asking any passenger who was missing a cell phone to come forward.&nbsp; It was revealed that the passenger had elected to use the restroom\u2019s sockets for shavers to recharge the phone and then left it there, wrapping it up in its charging cord.&nbsp; No one was arrested or hurt, and no other flights were affected by the incident.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>There were as many as 208 passengers on the plane, as well as 11 members of the airplane crew, according to Delta spokesman Anthony Black.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Delta Air Lines flight that was bound for the United States had to make an emergency landing in Dublin on Monday because a passenger left
