An airline spokesperson says two passengers who appeared to be intoxicated became disruptive, and both were removed from United Airlines Flight 883 upon landing late Friday morning in Bangor. Bangor Police Department officers were among those greeting the Boeing 767 when it landed. The FBI said one of the individuals has been detained. The FBI said the incident was not related to terrorism, but it declined to release further details. The plane later completed its trip to New Jersey.
