Passengers tie up, hold down unruly passenger on diverted Detroit flight

He says it started when a young woman began yelling at a flight attendant and ripped off her necklace. A criminal complaint names Breanna Farquharson as the woman, and says the flight attendant got a small scratch on her lip when that happened. The criminal complaint says Farquharson also assaulted a passenger by grabbing the passenger's shirt collar and necklace, and broke the necklace.

Fitzsimmons and the criminal complaint state that he and a few other passengers then ran to Farquharson and helped hold her down, while she kept yelling and rambling on about various things.

The name of the idiot is pretty much a dead giveaway.

Could be. I was just wondering if she was saying God is great, in a different language, whether she speaks any other words in that language or not. Make sense to you?

[Mark17]

See post 10.

[dinodino]

I’m still not getting it.

Are you saying you think this crazy woman speaks Arabic?

[null and void]

One reason I always have duct tape in my carry on.

I carry bacon bits...

[GrootheWanderer]

Still don’t get it. There was nothing in the story about her using that phrase or speaking Arabic.

Diverted to Detroit:

Sounds like quick justice to me!

“The name of the idiot is pretty much a dead giveaway.”

Breanna?

[Nacho Bidnith]

I had forgotten how funny that video was. Thanks for the reminder.

[Sgt_Schultze]

That’s great! And gnarly, I suppose.

[Mark17]

Come on. You guys are killin me. See post 10. I know quite a few phrases and words in Tagalog, but I can’t carry on a conversation in Tagalog. One does not have to speak fluent Arabic to say Allahu Akbar. Did I say she spoke Arabic? No. Did I say she actually said Allahu Akbar? Again, no. Go back to post 7. I said I wondered, not I know. It is as simple, as wondering if she is a member of the ROP.

[dinodino]

I guess what I don’t understand is what in the world would make you think she’s Muslim. Her name is Anglo and none of the stories suggest that she was speaking Arabic.

[GrootheWanderer]

Oh, I get it now. You don’t realize Farquharson is a Scottish surname.

[Mark17]

I was simply wondering. That's all. Just wondering. I had no idea. I still don't have any idea. I am just wondering. Is she a Muzzie? I don't know. I may never know. I am just wondering.
I don't think about names much. The pressure cooker bombers had names that I would not have thought were out of the ordinary, but look what they did.
When a flight is disrupted, I automatically wonder what the motive is. That's all. I just wonder.

[dinodino]

The Boston Marathon bombers had names which were obviously Chechen. Do you spend a lot of time in Chechnya?

At this point, there’s more evidence that YOU are Muslim than there is that the woman on the plane is a Muslim...

[onona]

You know, that’s a pretty damn good idea

[Mark17]

LOL, actually, it wasn’t even the name that made me wonder. I have no idea what kind of a name that is. I just wonder, when I see someone trying to hijack an aircraft, or disrupt it. I don’t know if even those two ideas were in her mind. Maybe she is just crazy, and has nothing to do with anything else. Here is another suspicion I have. If she has anything to do with the ROP, it will get buried, and we will never hear about it again. Make sense?

[Lorianne]

You don’t get to be mentally ill on a plane anymore.

If you’re mentally ill you keep it buttoned up until the plane lands and everyone is off.

ROFLMAO - you win ‘Post of the Day’

[blackdog]

Anti anxiety meds, alcohol, and altitude in the cabin pressurized to of 10,000 feet can make even a sane sensible pax do some crazy stuff.

Your link @ #19 is great, what a hoot. Now my tummy hurts from laughing.
