Just hours after the attacks on New York and Washington, a security guard at Boeing headquarters called in a bomb threat saying an explosives-laden 747 flying from Los Angeles would crash into the Sears Tower that evening, prosecutors said Tuesday. Roger W. Ryan, 29, of the 500 block of West Madison, was ordered held on $90,000 bail for allegedly making a series of hoax calls to the city's emergency 911 center. He was the 12th person arrested in Chicago on charges of making bomb threats since the attacks last Tuesday, said Phil Cline, chief of detectives for the Chicago police.
