ISN'T THIS THE VERY REASON WE HAVE THESE AIR MARSHALLS NOW? HOW WOULD HE KNOW THIS MAN WAS DISTURBED? HE DID HIS JOB & NOW THERE WILL BE ALL KINDS OF BS & LAWSUITS. I FEEL FOR THIS AIR MARSHALL & HIS FAMILY. HE WAS DOING HIS JOB, A JOB HE WAS TRAINNED TO DO. I BLAME THE WIFE. SHE SHOULD HAVE MADE HER HUSBAND TAKE HIS MEDS. SHE KNEW WHAT COULD HAPPEN BETTER THEN ANYONE. IF HE REFUSED HIS MEDS SHE HAD NO RIGHT TO PUT THE PUBLIC IN DANGER & THATS JUST WHAT SHE DID. SHE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN HIM TO HIS DR ASAP BEFORE TAKING A FLIGHT, SEEMS TO ME SHE DIDNT HAVE COMMON SENSE. SEEMS TO ME THERES A BIG LACK OF GOOD OLD COMMON SENSE ALL AROUND THESE DAYS. VERY SAD.
i went and checked with a dr friend of mine who says she never advises mentally ill people to fly, in fact she advises their families of the danger of such a person flying. 1st they can panic and get out of control easily. 2nd they can get manic & not have control over their emotions. 3rd many will drink with their meds and that may cause a reaction. she did say most families dont pay attention to her warnings. my other thought is this..so the wife is saying the husband didnt take his meds and is mental. hmmmm how was the air marshall to know if this was a true fact? she could have been lying, there could have been a bomb and plenty of dead people. are we forgetting 9/11 already? i think i wont fly anymore, i was upset they were letting passengers take more things on planes again.why dont people make up their minds..do we want protection or do we want to be killed ? id rather see 1 dead kook then a plane full of innocent people.
