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.

Sorry about dumping Caddyshack quotes on you without warning you first. (Its the Bushmills talking) :)

"You're a lotta woman, you know that? Hey- you wanna make 14 dollars the hard way?!?"

My blood alcohol has declined and I am no longer craving, just sinking into a post alcohol high low. I may start to sing soon. Thinking of a nice sad number.

"Ugh, the people here ... look at that one! The last time I saw a mouth like that, it had a hook in it!"

"Smoking GRASS...."

I've got some Grey Goose vodka going here. I'd be happy to offer a fellow Freeper a shot or two to celebrate the New Year. Probably wouldn't mix too well with Bailey's though. It sure doesn't with that glass of Champagne I had earlier......

[cajungirl]

We may need an intervention soon,,,I think Freepers may drink too much.

[cmsgop]

You wanna make $14 the hard way.......

No question about that.......Cheers!

I can't believe you're freeping while you have a housefull of people playing charades!

I'm afraid you might need the 12 step program.

[prairiebreeze]

Rescreening. All of them?

[cajungirl]

You know you gave me an idea. How about mixing some single malt whatever with some left over whipping cream and some chocolate coffee syrup,,does that sound good. Or maybe some whiskey and cream and Kahlua?

LOL This thread is a little surreal. "Caddyshack" dialogue in the midst of a suspected terrorist threat.

ROTFL
