Owner of A/C That Crashed Into Tampa Building Was Publically Pro-Arab!!!.

Part of article from St. Pete Times after Sept 11.

"Robert C. Cooper, president of National Aviation Flight School and Aviation Rentals, stressed that the extra security cannot be done at the expense of those of Middle Eastern descent.

"I don't want to get involved in profiling," he said. "I have faith in my government. I have to work on the belief that my government has basis to allow them into the country and show them proper respect." end of article.

Cooper is head of National Aviation Holdings that owned A/C. Many Florida flight schools train Arab students. Wonder if comment was made so as not to p. off students. Wonder if Arab pilot flew A/C into building. THIS IS FR EXCLUSIVE!!!

Homeland Security in DC saying NOT TERRORIST RELATED. I was wrong on coincidence. Apploigize to Arabs, but wonder of owner wants to retract his statement to effect that increased security must not PO the Arabs.

Given that this current situation is almost certainly not the work of Arab terrorists, why would it change his mind?

Anyone care to bet on the ethnicity of the 15 year old boy flying that plane that crashed in Tampa ?

I wish people would quit putting exclamation marks at the end of their thread titles.

Well, any Arab folk hanging around FR must have grown pretty thick skins by now but your apology is a nice gesture anyway.

You know, this owner might be afraid of a lawsuit if he started privately profiling flight students. I'm not sure if legal guidelines have been issued on this sort of thing. We have an aggressive Arab lawyer here at FR that would probably sue on their behalf. Not that that would bother me anyway. I think profiling is shortsighted and leads to longterm problems anyhow.

>>>The pilot of the plane was also only 15 years old. Think that might have had something to do with the crash? <<<

Its probable! In our public school educational system these days I don't think they teach Tall Building Recognition until your Junior year.

Probably dumb enough to think that it's the Fed gov't bank rather than a private enterprise.

LOL...If they kept their original name "Bank of Italy" they would have been saved....

[Centurion2000]

MSNBC says it was a 15 year old named CHarles Bishop who flew the plane.

Whelp ... called that one wrong ... but I wonder if he might have been Muslim .... he's tomato paste right now.

Homeland Security in DC saying NOT TERRORIST RELATED

That is NOT what they said! They said there are no indications at this time this is a terrorist incident! Quit twisting words to further your idiotic, and now almost certainly false assumptions.

I'l bet you've given up on this one, though and are over on the United Express thread entertaining those posters with your paranoid thoughts.

[OWK]

so you think ripping apart little girls bodies isn't terror.......what do you call it ? You're a braindead moron.......muslims mutilate children in the name of Allah.......to me they all are terrorists except the victims of their barbarity.........learn about what you're defending........go back to DU

I'll try this one more time, then I'll have to assume you can't muster enough electrical activity in that bowl of mush on the top of your head, to do what other people call... "thinking".

YOU SAID "All muslims are terrorists".

I SAID "You are a moron".

The reason I said "You are a moron", and the reason you continue to be a moron, is that you cannot seem to wrap that limp noodle of a mind of yours, around that fact that NOT ALL MUSLIMS ARE TERRORISTS.

Some muslims are terrorists. But certainly not all.

Can you grasp the concept dimwit?

Some.... does not equal all.

They surely know by now. . .WHO was piloting this - 'student pilot' notwithstanding. . .

[Michael2001]

I have a feeling that the kid who crashed the plane was an irresponsible teenager as opposed to an Arab terrorist. I could be wrong but you are making quite a leap.

[goldilucky]

Yep and that could happen anytime and anywhere.
