A passenger on a Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam, Netherlands, to Detroit, Michigan, caused a brief disturbance Friday at the end of the trip by igniting firecrackers, a Delta Air Lines spokeswoman said...

"For some reason my computer absolutely refuses to open that CNN page at the link. The computer may be smarter than me and refuse to go to CNN. Is there a FOX version of the story?"

Nothing on the Fox News website, but the Fox News Channel has reported it. The Detroit News detnews.com has the story, but they are touchy about FR, so I can't post an actual link.

No and have no idea what you atr talking about.

As far as movies, the last one I went to was 53 years ago.

Wanna bet the “fireworks” turn out to be some sort of a trigger for an explosive device that didn’t detonate?

[twister881]

What a joker, that Achmed the Dead Terrorist.

[Silence!..I keel you!]

[Eye of Unk]

Its about time the "NEW" era of aircraft is made available to the public, dual cockpits insure redundant safety and the fuselage has an improved climate control system.

this was a test run like the Houston flight cancelled due to the disruption by a group of Muslims

From another article:

Federal officials and police are interviewing a man, believed to be Nigerian

Passenger Explodes Firecrackers On Airplane

[MadJack]

ABC News website says he’s Nigerian (AKA Muslim), and flew from there to Schipol before getting on the NWA flight.
Supposedly trying to ingite a “white powdery substance.”

I will nicely say the person needed the snot beat out of them. What in heavens name is a passenger doing on a flight with Fireworks in their ‘possession’? This is highly suspect...

[chuck_the_tv_out]

Amsterdam to Detroit?

That service has terrorist delivery written all over it.

& someone got firecrackers aboard?

[Paige]

Large Community? They have taken over Michigan.

[1rudeboy]

I would’ve delivered this joker a royal beatdown. And laid a beatdown on top of it.

[Polynikes]

Probably carried them in his pocket.

[Renegade]

The only way to find fireworks is the “sniffer” box .

[jimbo123]

Not surprised that the “fireworks” have now become a “white powdery substance.” The muslim was trying bring down the airliner over the skies of Detroit on Christmas.

[Chode]

yup... you make me afraid for my life, you forfeit all your rights then and there.

[jimbo123]

This wasn’t a test run. The muslim tried to detonate explosives on the flight over Detroit and was stopped by passengers.

[Ancient Drive]

this sort of stuff was supposed to be nonexistent once the One was elected...

[Moe Tzadik]

ABC quoting LE now says injuries to jihadi & passengers.

[Moe Tzadik]

All the way from Nigeria and he waits until they are over just over Detroit....
