UA236: The "Bluetooth Flight"
Overnight, United Airlines Boeing 767-400ER (N67052) from Newark to Palma de Mallorca, Spain squawked 7700 about 1 hour into the flight and turned back after a suspected bomb threat onboard.
A 16-year-old boy passenger reportedly renamed a Bluetooth device "BOMB." The device name appeared on nearby phones, other passengers' IFEs, and crew devices, triggering standard security protocols. The Purser announced on the loudspeaker that all passengers must turn off Bluetooth devices. This instruction was repeated multiple times, but the device was still on, prompting a U-turn back to Newark where the flight was met by security.
Last night, I made a simple request on X. I asked if anybody visiting Arlington National Cemetery for Memorial Day would stop by Alan’s grave and leave a photo for our family.
What happened next honestly caught me off guard.
By this afternoon, dozens of Americans from all walks of life had made the walk to Section 60 to visit SSG Alan W. Shaw. Veterans. Families. Complete strangers. People who had never met Alan, but chose to honor him anyway.
For one day on social media, people put aside the constant noise and negativity and came together for something bigger than themselves. My notifications filled with photos, kind messages, prayers, and stories from people honoring not just Alan, but so many of our fallen heroes.
I don’t think people fully understand what moments like this mean to Gold Star families. The fear is never just losing them. It’s losing them slowly over time as the world moves on and fewer people remember their name.
But today showed me that Alan will never be forgotten.
After years of watching social media reward some of the worst parts of humanity, today gave me a reminder that the good is still out there too.
Thank you to every single person who stopped by to visit Alan today, said his name, shared his story, or took a moment to honor the fallen.
This right here is the America Alan knew and loved enough to fight and die for.
And today, y’all showed us all that it’s still here and it’s still worth fighting for. 🇺🇸
