Flights in and out of Washington Reagan National Airport were momentarily halted due to a reported bomb threat on an incoming flight.

Multiple reports indicate that the plane involved is a United flight, which landed safely and has been relocated to the eastern part of the airport. Video shot by bystanders at the airport shows passengers deplaning the aircraft onto the tarmac.
