D.C. Fox affiliate WTTG-5 reported a few minutes ago that British Airways flight 223 has been detained on the tarmac at Dulles Airport, Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C.

The flight landed at 7:06 p.m. Passengers have not been allowed to deplane. Some family members waiting at the terminal were able to speak with some of the passengers via cellphone. They were told TSA and other security personnell are interviewing passengers and inspecting luggage.

Over two hundred passengers and crew are on the plane.

More to follow as reported. Please forgive any errors as this just caught my ear.

I'll probably get banned forever. When I do, I'll come back under another name and haunt you. ;-)

Alternatively, you'll finally get a chance to get a good screen name.

I don't think so....I believe it is then refered to as a Bismark...(I know my donuts)

That sounds good enough to make me take up drinking.

May you have a restful, peaceful, and joyful 2004! Enjoy your repose, and may you be in Heaven a half-hour before the Devil knows you're dead.

That sounds good enough to make me take up drinking.

I have made it without the booze for kids and non-drinkers. Just double the coffee to give it a little more flavor.
