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've got a household of people - we're playing charades.
They heard about this and want updates - several of us have family in the area.
If you hear anything - PLEASE ping me. Thank you both and Happy New Year.

Maybe her husband is "disgruntled" and called in a fake threat/info to get her into trouble.I had the impression the FBI was asking her why she wasn't traveling tonight on this flight with her husband.
