He was pissed.....................
This is how The Terminal should have ended in the first five minutes of the film, thus sparing us the rest...
Another victim of the worst economy since Hoover. </sarc>
Figured he would be an expatriate "Pork Chopper" from Essex County. Maybe not.
I guess once he found out the price of a hot dog and Coke at airport prices, that was the last straw...
"A man arriving from Portugal apparently committed suicide in a janitor's closet at Newark Liberty International Airport. "
Landing in Newark will do that to ya...
I find this strange that someone would commit suicide while waiting for a flight that he had tickets for.
A despondent liberal returning to America with President Bush still at the helm?
Well, they do call it a terminal.
A tough crowd today. Not even one sympathetic response in here? His national origin, his reason for being in Newark, etc., all aside, I'm sorry that whatever situation the man was in, he felt he had no other option than to kill himself. And I'm very sorry for his family.
Very suspicious. IMHO...not a suicide.
Well, those lay overs can be a killer.
Sad news.
Moreover, I wonder if authorities released too much info initially.
How many 39 year old male U.S. citizens from Maryland came back from Portugal today via Newark? Not very many, I would guess. Ten or twelve, maybe fewer?
I hate to think that any relatives find out through the news before authorities can contact them.
Maybe the authorities should have initially withheld the age, the country he was coming from (could have said "coming from Europe," instead of Portugal) or his state of residence UNTIL they notified next of kin.
After my last trip to Europe on Lufthansa, I can understand how the airport personnel could drive someone to suicide.
Very odd...I'd like to see followup articles regarding this incident.
is anyone else concerned that it was so easy to walk off a flight from Portugal and into a backroom service area of the Airport without being noticed?
(YOU'VE GOT ME) DANGLING ON A STRING
Chairmen of the Board
You've got me dangling on a string
Please don't let me drop
My life will surely stop
'Cause I'm trapped in a dream of needing you so
My heart's in a noose and I can't break loose
I'm not half the man that I used to be, and I'll admit it
Your love has become a habit to me, and I can't quit it
Won't you take this half a man and make this man whole again?
You've got me dangling on a string
Please don't let me drop
'Cause you're everything I've got
'Cause I'm trapped in a dream of needing you so
The feeling is strong and I can't let go
Every time I phone, your number's changed or disconnected
You have made my life a book of games--I feel so rejected
Girl, you've got the best of me, now come and take the rest of me
You've got me dangling on a string
Please don't let me drop
You're everything I've got
'Cause I'm trapped in a dream of needing you so
My heart's in a noose and I can't break loose
Girl, my nights are so lonely
Ooh, I'm needing you only
I only drink enough from your loving cup to keep me thirsty
Girl my need for you is oh so strong until it hurts me
You've got me dangling on a string
Please don't let me drop
You're everything I've got
'Cause I'm trapped in a dream of needing you so
The feeling is strong and I can't let go
You've got me dangling on a string...
Suicidal traveler: "Well lookie there! How convenient that there is a utility room (unlocked at that!) between me and the customs agents."
[Man slips into this convenient room unnoticed.]
Suicidal traveler: "Cool... this room is the perfect set-up. Talk about luck!"
Was this guy doing "family" business in Portugal? Did he bump into a pal in Newark?
democrat!
