Thanks.
I found some info. here:
However, filming the entire flight seems a bit weird for two reasons. The coincidence of that together with someone happening to have bomb in his undies is great. But if the guy was working with the bomber and the bomb was supposed to go off, how did he think his camera would survive the explosion and breakup of the plane?
Stupid. Really, really STUPID.
I wonder the prospects for opening up a small stand, near the boarding gate, for personal parachutes. For a fee, of course.
You’ve touched on something that immediately struck me. If this isn’t just a case of something being inflated beyond what it actually was - namely, that the guy was recording “the entire flight” - then it does appear that he was expecting it to happen. If he was in on it, I’m struck by the possibility that he was a second Al Qaeda operative, sent (possibly without the knowledge of the bomber) to document the events because the bomber was given materials that were expected to malfunction, thus suggesting that what they wanted was to determine things such as how long it would take to make the device functional and detonate it, whether it would be detected, what any passenger/crew reaction would be, etc., as intel for future similar operations. Clearly, this information would be unavailable to them had the bomber succeeded.
I sent my phone to “airplane mode” when I travel. The camera is readily available and usable in airplane mode.
If there was no bombing, then the accomplice had a perfect video after-action record for al Qaeda trainers of how well the bomber responded to his training and how passengers and crew reacted, and any Air Marshalls
The media/authorities LIED in the Charles Bishop/Bishra case in Florida (Tampa) 2001 (I believe November).
They insisted that he was NOT engaging in terrorism when he stole a small plane and flew it into a bank building. They said the target was just coincidental. They denied terrorist intent.
His suicide note was in his pocket. It was suppressed for months. They called him a "young conservative" who went crazy from his pimple cream.
10th word in is "terrorist" that has been scratched out by someone. Now that brief into a two page letter that also praised Bin Laden and Al Qaeda... you'd think he would just START OVER if he'd messed up.
I have prepared this statement in regards to theterroristacts I am about to commit. First of all, Osama bin Laden is absolutely justified in the terror he has caused on 9-11. He has brought a mighty nation to its knees! God blesses him and the others who helped make September 11th happen.The U.S. will have to face the consequences for its horrific actions against the Palestinian people and Iraqis by its allegiance with the monstrous Israelis--who want nothing short of world domination!
You will pay--God help you--and I will make you pay!
There will be more coming!
Al Qaeda and other organizations have met with me several times to discuss the option of me joining. I didn't.
This is an operation done by me only. I had no other help, although, I am acting on their behalf.
Osama bin Laden is planning on blowing up the Super Bowl with an antiquated nuclear bomb left over from the 1967 Israeli-Syrian war.
The letter was supressed until after the 2002 Super Bowl.
Airlines and airports need to step up to Vegas style levels of observation.
Biometrics are used to match faces of people entering the casinos against known card cheats (which are then faxed out to other casinos to put them on alert).
They also look for persons at the games using radio technologies, partners, and small card counters.
Our nation’s hotels used to have private detectives on staff to make sure things going on in the hotel were on the up and up. Now we don’t even want to have a trained observer on EVERY flight monitoring the passengers for unusual activity.
Hey, they could'a been Muslims, seeking to martyr themselves and kill a bunch'a Infidels with plastique in a Play-Doh container! < /semi-sarc >
“... witnesss ...
Language appears to be changing at an alarming rate.”
LOL
You may be onto something. That would explain the video, and it would also answer the question: Why did the bomber wait until the plane was almost landed? That seemed strange that he was instructed not to detonate until the plane was over Detroit.
Well that part didn’t puzzle me. I presumed the notion was that if detonated at that point, the blast might impact/destroy via secondary explosions other nearby aircraft, whether in the air or on the ground; or have a similar impact on the airport itself.
LOL!
Go ahead and offer some a chart summarizing market share and boot times of phones of various capabilities, or some kind of constructive rebuttal, instead of unprovoked and pointless name-calling. I really don't need the attitude or the trolling.
