Received the above account from a reliable acquaintance. Can anyone validate or provide additional information?

[tkathy]

Just unbelievable. Sooner or later an airliner is going down.

[sageb1]

This is an email going around. Someone posted it last week. I have no idea if it is true or not.

I thought one of the procedures implemented after 9-11 was to have everyone away from the forward lav when one of the cockpit crew needed to leave the cockpit?

This has been posted , and is probably true:

American Airlines Flight 62: A Terrorist Probe?

[NonValueAdded]

It is only a matter of time. Catch and release is stupid.

[Palladin]

This is very scary. I saw that our airlines are all on high alert again. So there is probably much truth to this warning from the people who saw this happen.

[M. Thatcher]

Lots of male fliers I know are just HOPING something like this happens on a flight they're on. My husband, a 6'6" 250-lb trucker, firefighter, and a former semi-pro defensive lineman, is totally itching to take out a terrorist, LOL.

Sounds very similar to the stunt by the supposed "Imams" - where the passengers got nervous and demanded the men be removed from the plane.

Looks like that might have been the first trial run .. let's see how far we can push the passengers and crew.

If these guys were so difficult to handle .. why weren't they removed before the plane took off ..?? Or were they calm and unassuming PRIOR to the plane getting into the air ..??

Is the threat of a lawsuit damaging the bottom line more important than allowing ME's to destroy the lives of hundreds of people - including the crew (and all the families of the passengers) ..?? Seems to me .. that lawsuit (by the families of the passengers) would take the airline out of business even faster.

Good grief! Have we learned NOTHING ..????

[CindyDawg]

This doesn't make sense. How come they weren't restrained and arrested?

PING.

American Flight 62 isn't from Paris to Miami. Its Miami to Paris.

Huber I live at an airpark in Florida and have spoken to commercial pilots that live here and they tell of very often old Islamic females changing seats and pushing the envelope in flight just checking how far they can go and what they can get away with.
Since they are not male 18 to 35 they are not suspect but they all say they know these old ladies are going back to their cells and informing of results.
To a pilot they say they are checking for weak spots to take advantage of in the future.

Did your acquaintance claim to be involved in this situation?

If you are sitting next to someone who irritates you on a plane:

>>
>> 1. Quietly and calmly open up your laptop case.
>>
>> 2. Remove your laptop.
>>
>> 3. Turn it on.
>>
>> 4. Make sure the guy who won't leave you alone can see the screen.

>> 6. Close your eyes and tilt your head up to the sky.

It could be that rather than probing the security they are part of a longer-term campaign to desensitize the airlines. Repeated low level escapades like this would tend to wear the flight crews down, with each incident causing a bit less alarm. After enough "false alarms" the crews would much more likely to drop their guard.

Who knows what 'these people' are up to, it could just as easily be their way of yanking our chains. Get on a flight and because you feel you are being profiled give the profilers something to think about.

I know it's nice, and sometimes necessary, to get up and move around on flights that last an hour or more, but perhaps we've come to the point in airline travel that any movement away from one's assigned seat comes with more stringent restrictions. Especially against things like hanging out in any area of the cabin other than your assigned seat.

I wouldn't put it past our enemy to be just messing with us, enjoying the knowledge that they are alarming people.

The suicidal idiots running so many things certainly deserve to rot in hell.

When in history have a people been so deliberately destructive to their own culture???

And, of course, the Jihadi's are only tooooo happy to help out!
