Hope this is not a duplicate. No more details yet Passengers getting off
LOL. Reminds me of the 1st week we lived in our new house (across from a police officer), and we were potting some plants for the porch. My husband came around the corner of the house and loudly asked "Have you got that pot up here?" The police officer stopped raking leaves for a moment.
Sounds like this one is going to turn out as a WIN for the good guys.
Only the best from the Shepster!
Have they blamed George Bush yet? :o)

MIAMI - A federal air marshal opened fire on board an American Airlines flight on the ground at Miami International Airport, according to a law enforcement official who spoke only on condition of anonymity.
At least one person was wounded, according to broadcast reports said. The plane had just arrived from Colombia and was headed to Orlando. Television showed police SWAT officers surrounding the plane.
Airport and Miami-Dade County police officials said they had no immediate comment. Airlines officials did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
According to American Airlines' Web site, Flight 924 arrived from Medellin at 12:16 p.m. It was supposed to depart for Orlando at 2:18 p.m. The site says the flight status is delayed.
Television images from the scene showed armed officers taking up positions around the plane. MSNBC reported that the shooting took place on the jet bridge, between the plane and the terminal.
Then I'd assume the perp's target was one of the Disney World type places down there.
Maybe it was John Kerry announcing to the plane: "I have aplomb!"
Maybe he saw his friend Jack and said, "Hi, Jack."
"originally Fox news said the plane was out of Miami - ask the admin moderator to change the title if it bothers you"
What do you think I did when I pinged you?? lol
D@mn.........
People..Is the two tap, chest then head or head then chest?
NBC has broken into regular programing now with Brian Williams. Looks like they are going to milk this for all it's worth...."Bush's fault", etc. etc. etc.
"quality hysteria" LOL
He has a Ph.D. in Hysterics from Cal Davis.
hehehe
And given our prior comments, you have a really high tolerance too.
What time did the shooting take place? How long had the plane been sitting there?
LOL! I count 5 anti-Shep comments in the first 30 seconds after he appeared!
Righteous shoot!
right now the reports are that the plane was on the ground - happened 2 pm east coast time...the shots were not fired in the air...the person who made the threat was a boarding passenger in Miami
January, 1990?
