...So dude tried to blow up the plane, then got sucked out of the plane! No wonder no terrorist group claimed responsibility for this attempt... haha. I guess the bomb was a little flawed.

Here's a video showing the aftermath of the blast and all the ticked-off people:

Affirmative Action for bomb physics is sorely needed.

They better put him on a no fly list so he doesn’t try that again.

I love a happy ending! Thank God that all the other passengers were saved.

Too bad he died, he missed an opportunity to get a White House invitation..

Looking at the pic, either it was a bomb, or they really need to cut back on the amount of beans they serve on the in-flight meals.

Preferential treatment for the bomber. Not only did he get to land early, he also avoided the wait at the luggage carousel.

They said the dude who went out the hole was actually first... on fire. That is to say, the suicide bomber caught fire and blew up... and out of the plane with a fizzling bomb. No one is saying this officially, but a Somali diplomat was on board as a target of al-Shabbab terrorists.

Matter of fact, the youtube you cited was filmed by the diplomat, the Somali Deputy Ambassador to the UN, Awale Kullane. The plane wasn’t real full and the guy was in the wrong location to really damage it, structurally. Dude sitting next to him hopefully got away in time.

I was wondering what could be funny about this. That works! lol

When leaving a plane that’s flying, be sure to wear your ironman suit.

This is why I always keep my seat belt fastened while I'm seated on a plane. I want to be tied down if there's any kind of explosive decompression.
