Is the perp dead?

No - he's pining for the fjords...

[YoshiBear]

just before this happened Fox was talking about 40% of flights out of Dallas or Houston or somewhere were delayed or cancelled due to weather.

Man said he had bomb and was shot at as he tried to flee terminal.

Where's that in relation to the cockpit?

I think it's where Worf stood in Star Trek The Next Generation.

[Clemenza]

Yep. Used to live just west of this airport in the Doral area. My ex-girlfriend used to take this flight on a regular basis to visit her parents.

Come to think of it, she was a little nutty...

Flight allegedly on way to Orlando

[ninergold3]

Yes - but I've been accused of having a very warped sense of humor so. . .

[hispanarepublicana]

LOL!

[mcg1969]

Well hey, if the marshal had missed, it might have been an even bigger delay. I wouldn't want to fly on a plane with a bullet hole in it somewhere.

[MinuteGal]

Suspect killed.

Thanks, Howlin. C-mom, I'll ping you to this thread so you can pick up on the story when you get back.

[SaxxonWoods]

This is off-topic, but I've got to ask. I always wee all these BTTT posts, (back to the top of page) but I see no evidence that threads move anywhere. This thread has more responses than any around it, yet, it is right in chronological sequence.

Re the shooting:

Latest report I heard is that a person claimed to have a bomb, and started pushing forward in the line to enter the plane in the jetway. Probably a nutcase.

[NormB]

darn!

[texianyankee]

Keep your ears and eyes open! I know you have been doing a great job in the recent past.....

[Petronski]

So far, a passenger was killed or only wounded by one or two air marshals on the plane or the jetway while boarding or deplaning on a flight from Colombia or to Orlando or both . . .

A source tells CBS4's Jennifer Santiago reports a source tells her that this incident was not terrorism related, that a passenger aboard the plane announced that he had a bomb. Brian Andrews reports his sources say the incident happened very close to the front door of the Boeing 757, and got into a confrontation with two air marshalls traveling aboard the plane. Shots were fired over concern for the safety aboard the plane, Brian's sources say.
