Thanks for the link.

I remember the Fed Ex flight takeover, but I had no idea it was so brutal... and a barrel roll in a DC-10?

Pilots fly 10 hrs a week and this guy is burned out?

Most airline pilots I know have a pretty darn good life and many actually own business on the side

"The JetBlue flight attendant was pushed over the edge when a passenger started going for her luggage in the overhead bin the moment the flight’s wheels skittered on the tarmac at JFK. He warned her to sit down. She refused with an expletive as her bag hit him in the head. Slater demanded an apology. She refused. And then -- this is where it gets good -- Slater got on the public address system to say, "To the f*****g a**hole who told me to f*** off, it's been a good 28 years... I've had it. That's it.” He then grabbed his bags, a couple of beers, opened the emergency exit, slid down the ramp, ran across the tarmac to his car and drove home. He later was arrested on charges of “reckless endangerment,” “trespassing” and “criminal mischief.”

I agree. This sounds like an attempt to divert attention from his ties to the religion of death aka islam.

Until a suicide bomber is proved not to be Islamic, he is Islamic. There are too many rumors he was.

This guy is sort of a hero. I’ve been on many flights where these a-hole passengers feel entitled to do what they want, when they want. Although what he did was reckless and deserving of the charges against him, I have to applaud him at the same time.

And imagine the look on that ladies face....

Hitler planned to bomb Manhattan skyscrapers in WWII

Dec 15, 2013
Vision: In his mind’s eye, Hitler saw an apocalyptic scene of skyscrapers blazing like giant torches, buildings collapsing, and terrified people running in panic. A photograph is 1940s New Manhattan is picturedAdolf Hitler, inspired by scenes of fire consuming London and Warsaw during the Second World War, wished for the same fate for the Americans.

The Fuhrer not only wished for world domination. He was specifically obsessed with the vision of the destruction of America’s city, New York.

Adolf Hitler concocted the recipe for an apocalypse in New York where skyscrapers are lit with fiery fire, buildings are reduced to ruins and people are running amidst the chaos. He desired so badly to see the collapse of America’s Big Apple and to crush the star-spangled nation whose democracy and capitalistic system make his blood boil.

The apocalyptic images provoked by the mind of the madman has the same horrific signature as that of Osama bin Laden’s 9/11 demolition job on the Twin Towers in 2001. However, 56 years before the horrific episode, an author dreamed of the same doomsday to befall on New York. It was Adolf Hitler.

Hitler’s target of spite was miles from his grasps in the comforts of his dictates. Yet, he rallied his scientists and engineers to seek all means for his wicked schemes to materialize.

They planned to employ suicide planes that would unleash destruction and death into the heart of Manhattan.

While the Al Qaeda succeeded where they failed, they pursued the idea with appalling passion possessed by the vision of mass devastation.

I’ve seen a tomato reference in an old cartoon (1940s). It was referring to a sexy lady. (Ahh!— a toMAto!!).

'MARTY' Winner of Best Picture of 1955. Great movie.

Ernest Borgnine was a great actor and World War II Navy veteran. He performed until the year of his death 2012 at age 95
