DETROIT — The pilots of Northwest Airlines Flight 253 didn’t immediately know that a passenger had tried to ignite a bomb on the Christmas Day trip from Amsterdam to Detroit, the head of the Federal Aviation Administration said.
“There was (a) communications gap between the cabin and the flight deck crew,” said FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt to a House subcommittee. “The flight deck crew reported they had someone who had attempted to set firecrackers off.”
