BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: But first to Boston's Logan International. Been watching this plane sitting on the runway, a Delta plane, not clearly in view of this picture. But if you were watching this screen about 13 minutes ago, you know that this plane, bound for Orlando, Florida, apparently there was unruly passenger on board. If you look just to the top of the screen there, That plane, the white one, just taxiing off to the left. It appears to be that Delta flight in question right now.

Passengers have been taken off. The baggage was checked and screened with a number of dogs working the runway there. We are told an unruly passenger apparently stood up while that plane was taxiing off toward the runway and said something. We don't know what he said, we don't know what he threatened, but that passenger now under arrest by police there in Boston. That is what we know at Logan International. When we get more, we will bring to you.
