Hope this is not a duplicate. No more details yet Passengers getting off
What NOT to do on a flight. Geez. Probably some idiot with a ham sandwich. No doubt the Marshall and government will get sued for being "trigger happy".
LMAO!!
Cue the "This Thread Wears Mascara" graphic.
So did the take-down in the London subway. Better to wait until the facts trickle out and untangle.
CNN now reporting "not killed" but injured
Looks on TV like a great opportunity for hundreds of "at this particular point in time" bureaucrats with badges to stand around an airplane drinking coffee, congratulating each other on their collective magnificence and puffing out their chests.
MSNBC: Two air marshals, one shot fired.
So who knows?
Source tells CBS4: One Dead in MIA Plane Shooting
Dec 7, 2005 2:29 pm US/EasternMIAMI (CBS4 News) An American Airlines plane bound from Medellin, Colombia to Orlando with a stopover in Miami has been rocked by gunfire, apparently when two federal air marshals aboard the flight opened fire on someone a 'high ranking official with the joint terrorism task force' claims was someone they considered a threat to the aircraft.
CBS4 Investigative Reporter Mike Kirsch says a source close to the investigation says he has been told one person on the aircraft is dead. This has not yet been officially confirmed
CBS4's Brian Andrews spoke with the representative, who confirmed the shooting, as did a spokesperson for Miami International Airport. The plane was on the ground at Miami International Airport when the shots were fired.
One source is now reporting that the shooting may have taken place aboard the jetway connecting the aircraft to the gate.
The flight was AA flight 942 from Medillin, Colombia. It was at gate D-42 when the shots were reported.
Miami police and fire rescue crews are on the scene.
Local news claim Flight 924.
According to local NBC affiliate, channel 6, passenger made threatening comments, ran off the plane and onto the plane bridge, and was shot by air marshal.
He got better.
And the Laywers all breath a sigh of relief...
No, he was just saying what a bomb the new George Clooney movie was going to be.
Flight is on "delayed status". . . Go Figure!
Fox News now says the flight will be delayed.
:P No kidding?
No, that's Sammy Sosa.
You forgot munching pastries. I've yet to see a TSA screener who's missed a meal.
9/11 Commissioners probably en-route to find fault. Or at least find a microphone.
People would be well served to remember what my old division commander used to say - "The first reports are always wrong."
It occurred to me lately that I'd make a much better reporter than many of those who appear on TV. Apparently there are no knowledge requirements for TV reporters any more.
The reporters couldn't qualify for my job, on the other hand, since they'd actually have to be subject-matter qualified before they could be hired.
