" BBC NEWS
US flight turns back to Amsterdam "

Didja cut out part of this article??

Where's the part that says: "Terrorism not suspected"?? (nothing to see here - move along, folks)

See below for 1992 Schiphol disaster - horrific - jumbo went in to two high rise flats in the working class town next to the airport.

A certain number of passengers were heard by the gendarmerie in middle of day, specified ANP. The gendarmerie of Schiphol was not immediately reachable to confirm this information.

Any word from the Knight's Templar or the Council of Trent?

Never mind -- I found it....

Here's the last paragraph of the linked article....

---

"The office of the national terrorism co-ordinator had been informed of the incident but said there was no reason to upgrade the terror alert level, Dutch media reports."

I saw a TV special on that crash. Losing two engines on the same wing. I was amazed the pilot kept the plane in the air for as long as he did.

And the guy in the cartoon looks like a typical terrorist. Not.

My mind is clearer now...
at last, all too well, I can see where we all tried to leave...
If you march away...
muslims from the plane then we'd be where we all tried to be.
India!!!

The plane was flying east
some muzzies started fights
next thing that we all knew they turned around our Fliii-ight!
We landed in Schiphol
we threw them off the plane
And now we cannot translate what we're trying to explaaa-ain!

Yeah - what part of The national Coordinator antiterrorism (NCTb) stated however that there was at the present time no reason to record the level of alarm in the country, according to ANP. was unclear to you? :o)

The office of the national terrorism co-ordinator

Yes. My son is somewhere between London and Amsterdam for two weeks.

... the Northwest Airlines DC-10 was en route to India.

NWA has scheduled flights from Amsterdam to India. A relative of mine is a captain with NWA, he's flown the route many times. To the best of my knowledge he's been flying out of Seattle in recent months, so it's unlikely he was on this flight.

Oh my God, anything but that.
