Bill Hemmer of FOX News just reported that a "regional jet" is being checked due to a bomb threat that was called in.
That plane is NOT a regional jet. It is a propeller driven plane. Probably a Saab 340.
Folks, you look pretty stupid when you are reading over video of a regional jet when the plane has propellers on it.

He probably meant "commuter" plane. Those fly regionally, as opposed to cross-country flights.
A lot of viewers won't know the difference but it is something anchors and reporters should know.

You can put makeup on 'em, but they can still be dumb as bricks.

Was the pilot dead of natural causes?

No. But the anchor's brain needs to be autopsied.
