A plane that departed from O’Hare International Airport was searched upon landing Thursday after someone reported finding a bomb threat against the plane on the Internet, officials said.

American Airlines Flight 382 landed safely at LaGuardia Airport, and 117 passengers and five crew members were taken off before the search began, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs the airport. The plane was moved away from other aircraft for the search, but the airport remained open.
