In this image from a surveillance video from Washington's Dulles Airport the morning of September 11, 2001, and obtained by the Associated Press, one hijacker out of the five hijackers that boarded American Airlines Flight 77 is being pulled aside to undergo additional scrutiny after setting off metal detectors but then permitted to board the fateful flight that later crashed into the Pentagon (news - web sites). Four out of the five hijackers who boarded Flight 77 were pulled aside to undergo additional scrutiny. (AP Photo/APTN) |
I haven't seen the video yet but just looking at that picture evokes an emotional reaction in me I didn't expect. Being a NYer, and knowing what will happen to my city (as well as the whole country) after that guy boards the plane just makes my heart leap into my throat.
I keep staring at the picture looking at the oblivious people all around and thinking "These people have no idea what's going to happen..."
It's looking at a "before" picture of a before/after set. I can't even remember what the pre-9/11 world was like anymore.
That's a lot of "harmless" razors for one group of passengers.
EMPTY YOUR POCKETS means EMPTY YOUR POCKETS before going through the detector.
FWIW, air crew were murdered on the flights. If they didn't bring blades, they had to kill them some way (strangled?).
