Fox news is reporting that the flight was delayed 74 minutes due to security (not Mechanical) problems.....
HMMMMMM!!!!
This happens a lot especially with Fox News. I was reluctant to post it at all, but I felt it should be documented here on FR. That way if it never gets another minute from the media at least people knew that is was being reported
So are we to now believe that terrorists will only bomb a plane if they can kill more then the 200+ people on the plane? What about the suicide bombers that only kill a small amount of people in a Pizza Hut? Shouls we no longer worry about those types? Will terrorists only strike if they know they can take out thousands instead of hundreds? I doubt it.
As for myself, the story coming out now is that it was falling apart from the time it left the ground and from my Navy(non-jet related) service that just plain old shouldn't be possible. The tail stabilizer drop-off has me stymied since now it is being reported that it happened prior to the engine drop-offs, something is most definitely not right here.
Get with "Tennessee_Bob" he can give you some good info!!
Pssst. Don't blame the attendants. It's at the request of the other passengers.
Don't give up so easy!!
They managed to stop a panic among the sheeple who just listen to the headlines, andd don't think for themselves... check that box off...
Today, they let out a little bit of doubt, so those of us who are a tad suspicious feel somewhat mollified... check that box off...
Tomorrow, a bit more doubt is expressed, to keep the extra suspicious calm in the streets... another box checked...
After Thanksgiving, when the holiday flights have all been taken, and I pray real hard here, none have been taken down, they will let whatever they think is the truth out...
You know what I think we should do? Radical, but that is because I am upset and mad at the way this has been handled...
I think we should boycott the airlines, planes, certain airports, etc... until they do something better than they are doing now to tell us the truth, and put better safety measures in, and I don't want to hear any nonsense about "how long the lines are going to be"...
I'm fed up, and don't want to hear any more crap from that woman heading up the NTSB who acts like a skinny version of Hillary!
Nah, the Tinfoil Hatters are a CULT, just like the Liberals, and are just as silly and dumb.
I agree with your idea of a show of disgust, but crippling the airline business would likely make things even worse. It seems that power can lift you above the consequences that ordinary citizens must face!
Although as you mention, if we could shun one major airport for a week or so that would show TPTB (the powers that be) that we are serious.
I love the country America, but I almost always hate the government!
I agree with that...The tin-foilers would actually have us believe the gov't spin on this crash and accept the "accident" theory....For that one, an aluminum man-hole cover may not be enough protection...
