UA flight 1669 from Chicago landed safely about 3:00 pm. Initial reports were of a white powdery substance being released into the air ducts by a man of middle eastern decent. The plane has been surrounded by hazmat crews. The 80+ passengers are still aboard. The air conditioning had been turned off (its in the 90s on the tarmac right now). I local LE spokesman just got on to say there was no powdery substance released, but rather some confetti from a greeting card. So why are the passengers still aboard? steve
