Good memory, I had forgotten about that story. I would say the recent incident is a test run. However, if what the woman says is true, I just cant imagine that the air marshals, and the passengers, didnt detain the 14 guys on the plane. It appears they were preparing for something and one suspicious event after another went unchecked. Its time the Scott Beamers among us to wake up.
Wouldn't you all have gotten on a different flight? I mean just from what she observed prior to boarding would have been enough for me.
Someone should have said something before boarding or at least before takeoff.
Or the alternative is to board and sit there and wait to see if the plane blows up!!!!
