Guess what, the first thing I thought of was the movie when I was informed of the 2500 ft detonator. I knew our 737 couldn't go to Denver so since Reno would land us with zero fuel I chose Palmdale over the hill. At SJC I was walking around the airplane and saw nothing out of the ordinary so didn't think it would be in the wheel well. Knowing the cabin altitude was down the safest thing was to land at LAX. My brand new FO was flying so said be totally configured by 3,000 ft and land very gently. On the van ride back to SNA the driver had the radio on talking about our landing with the bomb threat. I told the FO you know you have had a rough day when the news is talking about your landing. I love that movie.
