Thank you. Yes! I agree with your assessment. Just as the passengers took decisive action on board flight 93, and again passengers acted decisively when Richard Reid attempted to ignite explosives contained within his shoe, this citizen/warrior engaged an enemy without hesitation, literally climbing over 4 other passengers in order to physically engage a mortal threat. Others may have acted (eventually) but this passenger had the frame of mind of a sheepdog, and acted out of instinct. A good lesson for all of us to learn from. Strike hard/strike fast!

Good to see that you are still sitting up and taking nourishment.

I also do that when people show bad manners.

Cornelius - your email to me and calling the Family Guy cartoon “profane” is quite laughable. YOu need to lighten up. Seriously.

Terrorist: Allahu Akhbar!

Me: Look, your crotch is on fire! Let me put it out with a HAM sandwich...

Cheers!

As we all know, islam is the religion of peace. Thanks to the actions of this one brave passenger — who fully understood that he had nothing to lose — this incident remained a small one.

Thanks to PC and the chronic disease known as “Cranial Anal Inversion Syndrome” among most alleged American “leaders” all the way up to the White Mosque — er — House, this “small” incident — and all like it in the future — will disappear down the Orwellian memory hole.

By their INACTION and persistence in their denial that we are at war with a determined and dedicated enemy, these alleged “leaders” have 100% guaranteed the the next one will NOT be “small.”

It would certainly bring a smile to my face to learn that 6 men beat this death ghoul to death with their bare hands, in mere seconds no less, but let's give credit to the swift action of this one man, a sheepdog's sheepdog. There's an old saying in the skydiving community that goes like this: he who hesitates, shall inherit the earth. Now and then, a skydiver does hesitate, and winds up inheriting the earth, often at 176 feet per second. This fine Dutchman, is a man amongst men (borrowed from a Rhodesian military recruitment poster- be a man amongst men.) I'm not wanting to be an apologist for the other passengers so much as I want to point out the fine instinctual skills displayed by the individual responsible for confronting the muzzie terrorist. His extremely swift action is one of legend. OODA...

Cognitive dissidence, where you see something so out of the ordinary that your mind rejects what you are seeing.

Good on this guy for responding so quickly and selflessly.
If I had been him, that dirtbag would have been dead from the choke hold before I let go.

"Passenger Syed Jafri, a U.S. citizen who had flown from the United Arab Emirates, said the incident occurred during the plane's descent. Jafri said he was seated three rows behind the passenger and said he saw a glow, and noticed a smoke smell. Then, he said, "a young man behind me jumped on him."

Thanks for being a hero Syed.../s

I'm expecting a spammer to post a berating to this thread, any minute, aimed squarely at the big talkers on FR,

Ah, you saw that idiots posts too.

Totally outrageous, definitely not FReeper worthy.

I hope I never face something like this. If it were me I probably would have pulled his trachea right out of his throat.

The unassuming hero ripped the flaming, molten object — which resembled a small, white shampoo bottle — off Abdul Mutallab’s left leg, near his crotch

Next - explosives hidden in anus... or it's already happened once?
