a report that said folks on an airplane at Dulles airport struggled with someone who attempted to open a door mid-flight.....

We have seen several headlines along these lines.

Just wondering how everyone else feels about this....what would you do?

...other passengers struggled with this POS....??

Me? "Struggle" is not an option.

The sucker punch of the century....with all my 6' 6", 250 lbs devoted to the effort.

The NFL kickoff attempt, of the century, right to the nuts.

The WWF record for a body slam, recognized because the perp's body imprint is now a permanent part of the aircraft's sidewall interior.

Struggle?

Is there a doctor on board?

That's just me. I know being in the actual situation would be different.

The headline would read, "Passengers struggled to refrain a man from killing another passenger that went crazy and tried to open a door in flight...."

Of course the entire scene had to be reshot and reedited.

You mean because of 9/11?

Exactly.

The original scene had bodies, parts of bodies, and parts of the 747 falling out of the sky as Mandy parachuted down.

LOL...there we go...drop her on the uranium enrichment facility!

If Mt. St. Helens blows again, she can cap it.

I am all for praying, but I keep in mind that God helps those who help themselves...

That's just not Biblical. God is always helping those who cannot "help themselves".

If you plant yourself in front of a charging Rhino with the expectation that prayer alone is going to save you...it might...but you aren't helping your cause any.

That's called tempting God. It's also called stupid. ;)

Is that footage available anywhere?

She landed safely, and is part of the Code Pink demonstration.

I've never seen it. I just heard the producers talking about it during an interview.

Season 1 doesn't have any extras like deleted/altered scenes except for the two alternate endings where Teri doesn't die.

EXACTLY!!!!

It's better to be tried by twelve than carried by six!!!

When I fly I also do my "profile sweep" and I prepare myself to do whatever I have to to stay alive. If it means administering a good old fashion ass whoopin' then so be it.

See # 149. She touched down safely, and evaded the air marshalls.

"I am all for praying, but I keep in mind that God helps those who help themselves..."

Red Skelton told this joke, and it kinda fits.

A gentleman was rocking on his front porch in a very hard driving rain, that looked like it wasn't going to stop any time soon. The water was up to the height of his porch.

A police car drives up, and through the speaker says to the man:

"The rain is going to crest the river upstream 15-20 feet over it's banks, and we are here to evacuate you!!"

The man replies:"No thanks, the Lord will provide !"

The police leave. The water then gets so high, that the man has to seek shelter in the second story of his house.

A police boat approaches the man, who is looking out of his second story window, and with a bullhorn, shouts to him:

"Get in the boat and come to safety, the water is going to drown you !!"

The man refuses, as he replies: "The Lord will provide!"

The boat leaves, and within mere minutes, the water has reached the level of his roof, leaving the man to climb to the very peak of it, with him still waist deep in the rising water as a rescue helicopter shows up overhead.

The crew of the chopper shout to the man: "Put on the harness in front of you, and we will take you to safety !!

The man says "The Lord will provide!", and again refuses the help, and the helicopter flies off to rescue others.

The man finally drowns.

His next stop finds him in front of Jesus at the pearly gates.

The man cries: "Lord, I was taught all my life that you would provide my needs for me on earth. Why didn't you help me? Why did you let me drown??"

Jesus replies; " I did help you !! I sent you a police car, a boat, and a helicopter !!"

That's the northern contraction. In the South, we say, ya all...so that's why we spell it ya'll.

What South are you from? I've never heard anybody say "ya all". It must be some local thing. Y'all is the proper contraction of you all. Plural is "all y'all". :-)

"...From the looks of the cankle...it appears that shrillary traded in the broom stick for a more up to date mode of transport...."

Okay. That's it. I am leaving this thread before I really DO spit on my keyboard...

I love it when someone sounds so series about something as dumb as the fat broad on the F15. I'm laughing so hard, my stomach hurts.

I am glad the people fought back. This is good sign that people now understand that they are in charge and are not going to let some punk or punks kill them. Terrorists better be on guard. As Todd Beamer said "Let's Roll!!"
