It’s a strange story. Although we have to remember, as far as Muslims and alcohol, Mohammed Atta and his buddies were known for visiting strip clubs and sucking up vodka in great quantities.
That said, they must have gotten on the plane drunk, because the plane was still at the gate and I’m not sure that Emirates air even serves alcohol. But all things considered, it’s a puzzling story...
It’s a strange story because we don’t have any details. “”Drunk Englishmen overheard making threats” on a flight to Dubai still on the ground”” leaves too much to the imagination.
I’m with you. If they’re not Arab or Muslim, then we should have already heard that the three were arrested for drunk and disorderly and for interfering with the flight of an aircraft or whatever it’s called.
