What Really Happened on AirTrans Flight 297?
KHOU News Houston ^ | November 18, 2009 | AP

Posted on 12/03/2009 7:15:46 AM PST by Sequoyah101

This squib appeared on the KHOU website on November 18 but is seems to be only a fraction of the story. Read the comments below the story please.

ATLANTA -- AirTran Airways says a flight from Atlanta to Houston with more than 70 passengers on board was delayed when a passenger refused to end a cell phone call.

... Flight 297, a Boeing 717, was taxiing on the runway in Atlanta Tuesday afternoon when a crew member asked a passenger to turn off his phone.

... after several failed attempts by the crew member to end the conversation, the captain returned the plane to the gate.

... the passenger complied when he was asked to get off the plane. He says no charges were filed, and that the plane departed for Houston 2 ½ hours later.

Me, too .. ;(

I feel a bad time coming on, especially
since Napolitano gave a security update
in her speech outright saying, with no
alarm or change in her facial expression,
that homegrown terrorism is here. Just
deal with it, in so many words.

I fear what the monsters from within will
allow .. maybe wish .. to happen for more
control.

That is how she gives most of her speeches so it's hard to read her. I was unfortunate enough to have her as governor.

They must know if the Jihadis pull of another 9-11, not only is 0 finished. There won't be another D president for a long time. I'd go so far as to say a large chunk of people would look to Bush for guidance. I think people forget just how lost people were those immediate days after 9-11.

It took 2 ½ hours for a plane to taxi back to a gate, remove a passenger, then takeoff?

They wouldn't leave with the guy's luggage on the plane.

It almost sounds like a re-hash (with changes) of the real-world occurrence with 9 imams who have since sued (through CARE) the airlines. Don’t know if that is still on-going.

Settled out of court but they likely got everything they wanted. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2009-10-21-imam_N.htm

Matching passengers with bags has been going on since the Lockerbie bombing.

INDEED.

COMPLICIT TRAITOROUS BUSTARDS FROM HELL.

May the unrepentant amongst them fall speedily in the pits they are digging for the rest of our once Grand land.

May their most carefully laid schemes result in them shredding each other with all the hate and arrogance they think they have reserved for Christians and patriots.

Amen.

All who wish may agree in similar prayers.

The timing is a bit disturbing . . .

There are some moderate . . . clues . . . puzzle pieces . . .

that MIGHT indicate an end of Dec, beginning of January lighting off or intensifying of overt murder, mayhem, war . . . . things are rachetting up at least to some degree.

It may well, then, be time to be very alert . . . and consider that IF there are more than a couple of incidents within 24 hours, BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES . . . Those in cities, might then do well to prayerfully consider heading for the hills or at least staying at grandma’s house in the country for several days.

Monsters from within may wish to happen?

##########

. . . monsters from within have been setting up, engineering, orchestrating, arranging, and WILL LIGHT OFF when their puppet masters order them to.

While the complicit stooges in powerful public positions mouth glib traitorous nonsense . . .

Lord, God, would it be possible, when they do that . . . for them to all have a Cheshire Cat experience where they start to literaly disappear from the earth slowly until only their flapping mouths are yapping . . . and then they cease to exist in this dimension?

It is more than a little conceivable that the PTB are engineering it such that a strong aggressive authoritarian GOP stooge would then step in . . . or . . . shrudder . . . Shrillery.

I pray that somehow we could end up with Palin. God have mercy on us and make it so.

I just know that the PTB are determined to shred the culture and country and tighten the screws regardless of what they engineer to happen.

Good! I’ll do it on my own, but I am glad there is another American out there who does not give a crap about how the liberal pc crowd would react.

Don’t tread on me!

Remember the Alamo!


I would be right next to you. I would even tie his rear and fore appendages together like I used to on calves during my calf roping days.

PTB is a good way to put it. I don’t know who “they” are but it is becoming more and more apparent “they” are out there and doing most of the steering.

Check the quotes of the last 100 years ref’d in my tagline . . . and keep in mind . . . that

THEY are midlevel flunkies in the higher ranks of the PTB.

However, Soros, Kissinger, Ted Turner, Carter, OThuga, et al ARE PLENTY DESTRUCTIVE AND DANGEROUS IN THEIR OWN ‘RIGHT.’

Hmmmmm . . .

dried bacon bits Vita-Mixed to powder . . . could have some interesting uses in some situations.

Maybe boldly labled as “PIG POWDER.”

“Hey, Jihadi, how’d you like to pass from this life with some pid powder on you?”

They wouldn't leave with the guy's luggage on the plane.

The newest story is that 11 men were taken off the plane, their bags removed and researched, then 10 got back on.

That would take 2 ½ hours.

Looks like MOSTLY true with the truth lying somewhere between what AirTrans says and what Petruna says but more towards what Petruna says.

What that equals to me is that authorities aren’t to be trusted.

I have a feeling that we won’t know the whole story, or if we do it will be ignored or called false and will die away.
