1: The Houston guy who missed the flight and wrote the original e-mail. He was on approach to ATL on another flight, 22 min away from landing when flight 297 pushed off gate. he admits “artistic license’ in describing things he never could have seen ,lying about seeing them, and he is the only one who described them as Arabs or speaking Arabic.
2: Dr. Keith Robinson. In written statements he has said he only came up to gate after plane had returned to gate. he says, in writing, he saw nothing firsthand.
3: “Cobb businessman and security expert Brent C. Brown, CEO of Chesley-Brown International.” Security “expert?” He owns a guard and burglar alarm company. He says he was there, and mentions nothing about Arabs or Arabic.
It's all overblown BS. Let's save our worry for the real problems. There are more than enough of them.
Actually, Dr. Keith Robinson said in his written statement, “After 6-7 officials exited the door, suddenly it flew open and 12-15 people from the flight hurried off the plane. Anger and fear was etched on their faces as they jerked their carry-on and tore into their computer bags to schedule another flight out of Atlanta.”
He also reports speaking with one of the passengers who told him that approximately 12 Middle Eastern men were speaking loudly in Arabic on the plane and that they refused to be seated when the flight crew told them to take their seats.
He also reports that the flight crew was visibly shaken, red faced and in tears as they left the plane.
In addition to his report, Doug Hagmann also wrote about this and confirmed with additional witnesses. From his article, “Having interviewed a total of seven-(7) individuals directly involved in this incident over the last several days, including two law enforcement officers who handled the after action reports, the situation pertaining to the initial 13 and remaining 10 or 11 Muslim men allowed to continue their travels was far greater than an incident involving the unauthorized use of a cell phone that resulted in a minor flight delay, as reported by the mainstream media.”
So, according to Douglas Hagmann SEVEN witnesses were interviewed and something more than unauthorized use of a cell phone did occur.
For another thing, you are minimizing what Dr. Keith Robinson has said and written about this flight.
He did get on the plane after it returned to the gate and he saw the Middle Eastern men with his own eyes and witnessed their behavior as well as the behavior of the other passengers that remained on the flight.
Dr. Robinson wrote in his report, “When I boarded the plane, the air was tense and filled with emotion. Many of the passengers were obviously upset and at wits end.”
He goes on to describe odd behavior from the Middle Eastern men during the duration of the flight and the anxiety of the passengers and flight crew.
Show me where you prove point #1
On Point 2, he does claim activity while at the gate, people’s responses as they exited which would confirm the first witness, but you seem to freely ignore, and he also claims activity of the men remaining on the rest of the flight, something else you freely ignore
As for #3, that is surely more than you, I’d bet, as far as security background. What is his military record, and why would that even mattter if HE was there and me and you weren’t??
Has something been bent . . . to the breaking point?
Who’s side are you on?
