An Air France plane was being escorted to JFK airport in New York City this morning after an anonymous threat was made against the flight, a senior U.S. official told ABC News.

The Maryland State Police Fusion Center received an anonymous call of a “chemical weapons threat” aboard Air France Flight 22, which is en route from Paris and is expected to land at the New York City airport later this morning.

The threat is not considered to be credible at the moment, but when officials tried to reach Air France representatives they were unsuccessful because it is also a state holiday in France.

Double tap? Dude, he went full belt-fed auto!

Some quick math shows just over 5 posts per second for 23 seconds. Laz, it's a good thing you didn't reload. ;-)

I’m sure FR had to switch barrels midway through the loop. :)

:) OK.

[McGruff]

Step away from the keyboard sir.

[Lazamataz]

Just dam.

It's still double-tapping.

It's still double-tapping.

Did you pick up one of those assault keyboards?

[Lazamataz]

High-capacity magazine-fed keyboard, at least!

[piroque]

Are you sure ?

Are you sure?

[Lazamataz]

I'm sure.

DON'T LET THE PLANE LAND!!!

AND IF IT LANDED, MAKE IT TAKE OFF AGAIN!!!

Lol, all they got was a very loud dose of iron maiden.

If they had any flat liners, I’m pretty sure they’re awake now heh.

Umm.. way back when I stuck a print statement in a DO loop. FORTRAN did exactly what I told it to do...

The results were, um, interesting and required SysOP intervention.

You sure you weren’t looking to become memorialized by the Undead Team?

I remember that! It was the talk of the college! :)

[NoCmpromiz]

You heard about it too?? Didn't know the story traveled that far..

Of course today no one knows what a DO loop is. Or keypunch machines. Or punch cards. Or even FORTRAN for that matter.. ;-)

Yes I know there are similar structures in most programing languages and FORTRAN is still in use. Somewhere. Just bear with me for the sake of the story line.. ;-)

BASIC

[NoCmpromiz]

Yeah..

But of course MS made it Visual... ;-)

[semaj]

I hear what you’re saying, but maybe they should let the plane land?

[Darksheare]

The Laz has reached critical mass and is.. multiplying!
*sniffle*
This is a wonderful day, the day we finally obliterate reality!
*cue celebratory music*

[Fast Moving Angel]

DON’T LET THE PLANE LAND!!! (repeated ad infinitum)

Um, I'm not going to ask why your posting finger was sticky ... ;-)
