United Flight
1243 landed safely at about 9:30 p.m. local time at Denver
International Airport, where passengers got off the plane, an
airline spokeswoman said.
The airline said the flight was diverted to Denver in an
"abundance of caution" because of an unspecified security
concern.
Passengers boarded the airplane to resume their flight to San
Diego after a two-hour delay, United said.
Denver police and the FBI were investigating the incident, the
airline said.
