A Boeing 767 out of Boston made an emergency landing Tuesday at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport due to concerns that it may have a bomb aboard, said Mayor Michael R. White.
White said the plane had been moved to a secure area of the airport, and was evacuated.
United identified the plane as Flight 93. The airline did say how many people were aboard the flight.

The link worked for me. Another story in the same archive mentions the flight that actually crashed.
Flight 93?
Look at the dates and time of both articles. I think there is a simple typo involved.

I think your getting Flight 93 and Delta Flight 1989 mixed up. Thier was a point on the radar where they crossed over each other and had no transponder to identify either 1. It was Flight 1989 that landed with a bomb threat.

...the Delta flight 1989 she was on was initially thought to be flight 93 since they were very close in the sky at the time that 93 was hijacked.

I guess we can close this thread now.

How often does it occur that both planes experience having no transponders and the fact that pass over one another? Let alone the fact that they passed over one another, planes aren't suppose to get that close and from the sounds of everything it's not like they were miles above/below each other.

United had nothing to do with identifying their flight. They were told that flight 93 landed with a bomb threat by controllers, who got the two mixed up. With all the confusion that happened that day I'm not surprised this happened. I remember listening to the radio that day and there were reports of planes missing, and more planes being hijacked all day, until after they landed them all at last.

Is this when they put the bomb onboard, and reprogrammed the computer? Or were they just getting the strawmen off the plane? Lots of opportunity to do something conspiratorial.

From - The 9/11 Comission Report
Right after the Pentagon was hit, NEADS learned of another possible
hijacked aircraft. It was an aircraft that in fact had not been hijacked at all.After
the second World Trade Center crash, Boston Center managers recognized that
both aircraft were transcontinental 767 jetliners that had departed Logan Airport.
Remembering the “we have some planes” remark, Boston Center
guessed that Delta 1989 might also be hijacked. Boston Center called NEADS
at 9:41 and identified Delta 1989, a 767 jet that had left Logan Airport for Las
Vegas, as a possible hijack. NEADS warned the FAA’s Cleveland Center to
watch Delta 1989.The Command Center and FAA headquarters watched it
too. During the course of the morning, there were multiple erroneous reports
of hijacked aircraft. The report of American 11 heading south was the first;
Delta 1989 was the second.155
NEADS never lost track of Delta 1989, and even ordered fighter aircraft
from Ohio and Michigan to intercept it. The flight never turned off its
transponder. NEADS soon learned that the aircraft was not hijacked, and
tracked Delta 1989 as it reversed course over Toledo, headed east, and landed
in Cleveland.156 But another aircraft was heading toward Washington, an aircraft
about which NORAD had heard nothing: United 93.
