Terror scare in London?
(posted by Barry N. Johnson)
This hasn't hit the news yet, but my brother-in-law is sitting on a plane in Heathrow Airport as we speak, and there is apparently some action going on. It seems his plane was stormed by agents with machine guns, who seized a Middle Eastern passenger from my brother-in-law's row and removed him from the plane.
This is happening as I type this. The wonders of modern technology. More to follow, no doubt....
UPDATE: The flight in question is British Airways flight 0215, from London to Boston.
UPDATE: Multiple passengers were removed from the plane by force. My brother-in-law is now off the plane as well, but he has been herded into some special area at Heathrow....
UPDATE: According to the BA website, the flight will be experiencing an "estimated" two-hour delay.... make that four....
