United Airlines passengers removed from flight at Denver airport
This is a news story and video interview done by Chris Vanderveen of 9news about United Airlines Flight 227, which was detained at Denver International Airport yesterday. Police officers and FBI were called to the scene.
The video at the side gives more info, including passenger interviews.

-----------
Clearly there is a pattern of such incidents; note similarities to what we are now finding out about Airtran flight 297
Annie Jacobsen's ordeal on Northwest Airlines flight 327 June 29, 2004: her account was attacked, but she was ultimately proven correct.

Ditto.
I have an awesome little Canon (PowerShot SD780 IS) that records both still photos & video in HD. It fits in the palm of my hand and I ALWAYS carry it in my shirt pocket when travel.
This is another such incident, this one United flight 227 out of Denver last Wednesday.

Don’t know about you, but I have family flying this week. This crap needs to stop, like, YESTERDAY.
I’m afraid I don’t have much of a ping list. I don’t know anyone in Denver either. But I am glad you posted this thread. Something does need to be done about these “dry runs.” There is no doubt in my mind that this is terrorist activity and it should be dealt with harshly.
And I’m glad cyn posted it again (although I think this is actually the first time) because I hadn’t seen it before.
From what I’ve heard from others in the area, and confirmed by repeated online searches, 9news is still the only local news source for this.
The lack of open reporting into such incidents (and there have been MORE than what we can find, I’m sure) speaks volumes.
“If a terrorist incident occurs but isn’t reported, are people still harmed?”
AMEN!!! Thanks,Quix!!
SOMETIMES
IT SEEMS LIKE
You try very hard to be extremely uninformed or extremely contrary or both or . . . ???
This last incident has not been posted umpteen times at all—much less 6,000.
There IS something horrific going on.
Denial is not a good survival habit.
Quix, that is the best idea yet.
One (or several) on each flight willingly ready to be the spokesperson; compile the statements of other passengers (and be ready to substaniate with same).
I think your suggestion (of pre-printed index cards) should be cut and pasted to EVERY airline/TSA thread from this point forward.
It costs next to nothing (think of what James Woods did) yet it chronicles each incident; real time.
“We need to take back our government. Currently the greatest threat against America is its own government.”
Are you suggesting something that can be done within the existing system?
THANKS TONS.
It seems sensible to me.
Would be interesting to see how it played out in real life.
Blessings to you and yours this CHRISTmas.
