Flight attendants tackle a man aboard a flight from London to Miami who reportedly tried to ignite an ``improvised explosive'' in his shoe.
Military jets escorted the plane to Boston's Logan International Airport where it landed safely. The man, identified as Richard Reid, is in custody.
Officials say he was alone traveling on a British passport, which may have been fake.
They say a flight attendant intervened after the man tried to light his shoe on fire. The man resisted and bit her.
Passengers subdued him, belting him into his seat.

After a mighty scare in the air--federal authorities in Boston questioned passengers on board an American Airlines Jet well into the night.
The Paris to Miami fight with 197 people on board was diverted to Boston's Logan International Airport.
It was escorted by two F-15 fighter jets like this one to Logan Internatonal airport.
