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.

how 'bout those raw eggs??

I buy the special, expensive eggs at the grocery store that are from local farms (organic?) just to be safe. I have never had any problems.

My original recipe said it would keep for 6 weeks in the fridge. But it never lasts that long.
