British Airways Flight Detained at Dulles Airport, Passengers Being Quizzed by Security
Local Channel 5 | Wednesday, December 31, 2003 | Kristinn

Posted on 12/31/2003 7:11:32 PM PST by kristinn

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.

Headline: "British Airways Flight Detained at Dulles Airport, Passengers Being Quizzed by Security"

Hmmm..this headline looks serious but the thread looks too long to read. Let me head down to the last post and see what's going on.

There was an English mad cow in seat 34C.

It boarded the flight to Dulles by mistake. It was trying to link up with its herd in Canada and simply went to the rong gate at Heathrow.

The great part is that the folks out doing the hard work tonight here in the states-- and in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere--don't begrudge us our freedom to indulge ourselves this New Year's Eve. They'd join in if they could. God bless 'em, and thanks.
