It’s no surprise that AirTran, the TSA, and other authorities are circling the wagons and claiming that Petruna’s and, now, Dr. Robinson’s, accounts aren’t true. That’s what they always do. Attack the messenger to block the truth.
But I believe Petruna and, now, Robinson.
As we know, authorities think we shouldn’t know about these things.
But I had the same experience when Detroit Metro Airport police told me a bomb was found on a Northwest flight, which was evacuated, and Northwest denied it. Or when Muslim men were on a Northwest flight from Detroit to Los Angeles and DHS released a report that was mostly redacted (because if it’s redacted, it didn’t happen, right?).
As I told you, prominent Tennessee-based radio talk show host, Steve Gill, conducted a lengthy, in-depth interview with Dr. Robinson, who confirmed everything Mr. Petruna wrote in his e-mail about what happened on that flight. Steve gave me permission to post that transcription here. Steve is no lightweight or fringe conspiracy theorist. He’s a major talk radio host in the South (as well as an attorney, professor, and former White House fellow) and asks the tough questions.
Radio Talk Show Host Steve Gill Interviews AirTran Flight 297 Passenger Chaplain Dr. Keith A. Robinson:
Steve Gill “. . .Middle Eastern men that were on the plane and that, as they had pulled back from the jetway to taxi to the airport or to the runway. . .that uh, he said two had gotten up and were taking pictures with their cell phones of the other passengers on-in that area. This is while the plane is taxi-ing on the runway. That’s what he said, yes.
Ok, hang on. We are going to talk more. Keith Robinson was there. He’s relating more of what happened on Flight 297.

Many people looking the same and getting up and talking to each other is odd and suspicious.
Jews don’t blow themselves up and attack innocent people like the muslims do.
Though frequent travelers probably toss such stuff before they leave the airport.
I AGREE.
Too many interviewed folks have confirmed too many details.
However, naysayers seem to have a union hereon.
AirTran and the TSA both confirm that the pilot took the DRASTIC step of returning the plane to the gate, and that the flight was delayed more than two hours. They confirm a switch in flight crews. They confirm the removal of two passengers, and their later return. If they don't confirm, they certainly haven't denied, that passengers on the original flight refused to remain on the flight.
Their explanation for this event, according to news reports where officials from those two organizations are cited, are either too vague to determine whether or not it was a hoax, or as implied (that a language barrier made it a "simple" problem of "miscommunication") are only as believable as Tinkerbell showing up and pixie-dusting the whole crew into halucinating any reason to leave the airplane.
Whether or not the original email or what the Chaplain said qualify as "hoaxes" is irrelevant. Obviously, something went down and no explanations so far are remotely plausible EXCEPT what the email and the Chaplain's accounts (along with several others, now) imply: that this was an act of Islamic terrorism.
NO ONE IN THE MSM IS BEING CAREFUL WITH THIS STORY. On the contrary, they are being CARELESS.
In short, the email and the chaplain have become secondary to the real story, and it matters NOT ONE WHIT now whether they were on board the plane or not. Officials from AirTran and the TSA have FAILED COMPLETELY to present an even remotely plausible explanation for the above FACTS that they don't deny -- again, whether or not the Chaplain or the emailer were on the plane is now irrelevant.
They don’t have to prove a damn thing to you!
They were interviewed shortly after the incident and both men have been threatened by our government. Patruna was fired by NASA for talking to the press about the incident and the hired back the same day - now what does that tell you?
Stop being a sop for the misnamed Homeland Security, which is only suspicious of people who love the U.S.Constitution. People like you and me. We’re in danger from the Obama Administration and YOU better wake up!

Keep in mind, too, that Obama cannot hide any longer the very public fact that he acts, talks, and thinks like a Muslim.
In the present case I don't know what has been left out either. I do know that the story as originally told didn't ring true to me. That's a big red flag for me. It doesn't mean for certain that your interpretation of the story isn't correct; but I hope you will permit me to remain skeptical.
