I just heard the same thing....watching Cavuto.
Lutherans kickin it up again?
They should have an airlock and an ejection seat for terrorists and jerks on all planes.
Schumer flies Airtrans?
If someone were to do this on a flight that I was on, I would kick the ever-livin’ tar out of them.
Start charging these drunks $120,000 for costs instead of just letting them go because they were “not terrorist related”
Let me guess.
He hates Jews also.
I wonder if this is the same flight that Shep reported on an hour or so ago. In that case it was reported that a drunk passenger had locked himself in the restroom. They had a photo of LE hauling him away.
I’m flying that very same route in a couple of days, and I was just assuring my nervous elderly mother that nothing ever happens on the way from ATL to SF!
Oh well. Maybe this was just a passenger annoyed at not being able to read his Kindle in the last hour before landing...
Great. It’s gonna be one of those kind of years. a painski in the buttski..
I am placing myself on the won’t-fly list for 2010.
Any Airtran flight going in or out of Atlanta is the ACORN/homeboy express. I flew it once and sat next to a rapper wanna be.
A lot of “unruly” passengers lately.
The CBS affiliate in South Caroline tells 11 News a passenger on the plane called a family member, saying the flight was from Atlanta to San Francisco. The Colorado Springs Airport says it was an AirTran 737, flight #39 with 132 passengers on board. A passenger was drunk and argumentative and locked himself in the bathroom of the plane.
The flight landed in Colorado Springs and the man was immediately apprehended by Colorado Springs police.
The plane is still at a gate at this time. Passengers from the flight tell 11 News all of the passengers have been taken off the plane and are congregated in the concourse. No one was injured.
The FBI will be investigating the incident. NORAD tells 11 News they flew two F-16 fighters to respond to the scene.
NORAD released the following statement regarding the incident:
Two F-16 fighters under the direction of Continental U.S. North American Aerospace Defense Command Region launched at 11:44 a.m. MST today in response to reports of an unruly passenger aboard Air Tran Flight 39 from Atlanta bound for San Francisco.
The fighters arrived overhead of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport as the pilot of the commercial airliner landed the Boeing 737 there safely at approximately noon MST, where the plane was met by law enforcement.
NORAD’s mission - in close collaboration with homeland defense, security, and law enforcement partners - is to prevent air attacks against North America, safeguard the sovereign airspaces of the United States and Canada by responding to unknown, unwanted and unauthorized air activity approaching and operating within these airspaces, and provide aerospace and maritime warning for North America. NORAD may be required to monitor, shadow, divert from flight path, direct to land and/or destroy platforms deemed a potential threat to North America.
The Colorado Springs Airport tells 11 News there are no other delays at the airport as a result of this incident.

So, folks, there you go.
That’s their “plan”.
If something goes wrong, they’re gonna shoot you down.
Of course, there’s not much else they can do, so man up when called upon.
That guy from Ohio should have received a thorough ass-kicking from the passengers.
Haven’t flown since 1999. Coming up on ten years. Still taking plenty of trips. Driving. What a beautiful country we have. Looks a whole lot better close up as opposed to 30,000 feet.
