As the chat thread progressed, this flyer began posting small blurbs, like, "The plane's getting rougher", and "It's jinking a lot." Then one final post, "The cockpit doors have slammed shut." Then nothing.
Wow. Turbulence. Let's call the FBI.
This is why "EOM" continues to bait and bluster. How on earth do these messages imply some sort of foul play or mechanical catastrophe? I'm absolutely baffled.
By the way, pilots need to use the lavatory, too. The cockpit doors may be locked, but they emerge to relieve themselves and then go back in and slam the door shut.
Please, everyone. Get a grip. Let's focus on concrete issues like the incompetent U.S. Customs department that allowed 8 fake visas to slip through before Sept. 11.
What about David Kay's report? Where did all those chemicals and biological agents get siphoned off to? Is Syria going to play WMD extortion with Israel? At what point will President Bush lay it out through back channels that Iran's is going to pay the piper in the shadows of a Special Forces-backed, popular uprising?
All roads lead to Tehran. Break their backs quickly.
