I’ve just received a credible tip from an LGF reader that an America West flight out of New York was fired upon by a surface to air missile yesterday, and that the pilot and passengers witnessed it and are now being questioned by the FAA and FBI.

That’s the extent of the information I currently have, and please note: right now this is completely unverified.

What's LGF?

Little green football - Conservative webblog.

Unverified information is rumor, we expect more
than that here. Let's get to the bottom of this.

I am sure the witness will be convinced otherwise.

[livius]

Oh, okay, I've seen other LGF posts here. Hope we can get some more info on it. I wonder if they were fired upon of it it was another one of those laser incidents they had in that area a few months ago.

[Perdogg]

That's why I posted it here not on news. LGF has had a long history of being right. I was responsible enough to indicate that it was unverifiable at this point.

[ladyinred]

Even if it did happen, we will never know about it.

[Perdogg]

How do I get someone to remove a duplicate post? My accident.

Not gettin in your case at all, we have the means to find out, now the pajamahadeen will dig out the facts.

[Rebelbase]

Same thing happened to Fight 800, turned out to be a bad wire in a center fuel tank.

[muawiyah]

Or, more likely, it was hit by a meteor.

[1rudeboy]

That was funny, in a dry British sort of way.

[frankjr]

Hard to believe that after 24 hours there is no mention of this in the news. Did the FBI lock all of the passengers in a room somewhere?

[penelopesire]

my thoughts too. This would be out already on some blog somewhere. Google turns up nothing over the last few days anywhere on the internet. But..stranger things have happened.

[Moonman62]

Probably a lucky shot with a bottle rocket.

[oceanview]

the airport would have been shut down instantly, for a significant period of time. did this happen? I don't think so, I saw no news reports of extensive delays at JFK.

[nuconvert]

pong

[HitmanLV]

I usually fly AW into and out of Newark. Hard to imagine that the airline that actually tries to charge you $5 for a crappy sanwitch that they used to give for 'free' to passengers has pilots and hardware that could outmaneuver a SAM.

[RDTF]

I'm with ya this is fishy. Think there is possibly something in the patriot act that enables homeland security to put a gag order on the media?

[oceanview]

the word would get out, closing all flight traffic into JFK airport for hours - it could not be covered up.

[Rudder]

JFK? No other airports in NYC area?

[oceanview]

there is LaGuardia also - but I know AW flies alot from JFK, so I assumed this was the airport in question.

[Stellar Dendrite]

WTF are you talking about. There is NO TERRORIST THREAT! Islam is a religion of peace!


/s

[HitmanLV]

AW flies a lot out of Newark, also. While a NJ airport, it pretty much serves nyc also.

[JulieRNR21]

LGF is one of the best Blogs by the Pajamahadeen.

BTW do you know ' what in the ever loving heck is a ' Pajamahdeen???..............LOL

[CJ Wolf]

I heard about half an hour ago a bunch of what sounded like fireworks going off, they were very loud, est. bout a couple miles away. I live near Dulles. Likely to be just some kids. right?

[Rushmore Rocks]

Thanks for the ping. 'LGF' is usually quite reliable.

[RDTF]

Hey, all I know is today I scored another one for the team when I wouldn't let a Jerk in a Jetta merge in front of me because he had a John Kerry bumper sticker. :)

[Rudder]

Yeah, I used to fly out of La Guardia when I lived on LI.

[Stellar Dendrite]

"Hey, all I know is today I scored another one for the team when I wouldn't let a Jerk in a Jetta merge in front of me because he had a John Kerry bumper sticker."

Those losers wont take their stickers down, I pass them all the time.

[GOPJ]

What is this story about? Is it real?

[July 4th]

Think there is possibly something in the patriot act that enables homeland security to put a gag order on the media?

No, but it is no secret that if a piece of information is controllable - i.e. not many people or members of the media know about it - the feds are able to manage the release. Occasionally, members of the Washington press are asked to hold stories for a day or two, and the reward is that they'll be given the scoop on another story at some later date.

[Stellar Dendrite]

"put a gag order on the media? "

Wouldnt want the Sheeple to know that they are under a grave threat from islamofascists....

[Cindy]

THIS ALLEGED INCIDENT/INFORMATION IS UNVERIFIED.
I am posting the link to the LGF for fyi purposes.

" Is it real?"

I have no idea, but I doubt it. Some passenger would have blabbed to the media by now. Plus, the airport would most likely have been shut down (potentially with others). I doubt the government would take the chance of knowing there was definitely a missle attack and not thinking if there was one, there may be others at the same time (like multiple 9/11 planes).

[fso301]

What goes up must come down. If a SAM or RPG was launched, it had to come down somewhere.

I think you're right. This would be impossible to keep quiet. Thanks ...

[RDTF]

Babbled if they have been released from being sequestered.

[GOPJ]

What's "babbled"?

[BenLurkin]

bttt

[RDTF]

Haha! I meant Blabbed...

[frankjr]

"What's "babbled"?"

1. To utter a meaningless confusion of words or sounds.

However, I figured it was a typo for blabbed (which I am guessing is). But that word may actually fit this "news" report.
