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.

"not terrorist related" is FBI speak for "Though we have concerns about the plane being used for an attack, we did not find the person we were looking for, who was going to carry out the attack."

It is very clear, based on the other thread linked here, that this plane was boarded and searched due to security fears.

"not terrorist related" simply is govt. speak that no attackers were found....

Yes! They do. Was it always a diet soda? It's a diet citrus grapefruit thing. Pretty good, actually.

lol....I loved that episode.

When the heck is Seinfeld coming out on DVD?

Wake up you tv morons. You would make a bundle. I am Mr. cheapskate, but would be willing to pay $100 for that.

Almost....

But the man who's worth while, is the man who can smile, when his shorts are too tight in the seat."
