This woman's story should be a True-Stories movie!..........Starring Beasu Derrick!.......

[Red Badger]

Lindsay Wagner played in her in a 1988 TV movie.

The most terrifying moment for her, she later told Glamour Magazine, was when the crueler of the two hijackers asked her to marry him.

Stockholm Syndrome?

Uli Derickson, the Trans World Airlines flight attendant honored for saving passengers' lives in 1985 by both confronting and mollifying terrorist hijackers, died on Friday at her home in Tucson.

But today is only Thursday.

A brave and beautiful woman.

I wonder what her impressions were of the events of September 11, 2001?

I will never forget those ba$tard$ throwing Stetham's body onto the tarmac.

This brave lady deserves our prayers.

To me, Beau Derrick is much better and even resembles her. Everytime I see Ms. Wagner, I think of Bionic Woman. Besides, Beau is a Republican.........

[PBRSTREETGANG]

As an aside, I believe it's Bo Derek.

[geege]

It's a pic of him???? I cannot open it.

[nutmeg]

I will never forget those ba$tard$ throwing Stetham's body onto the tarmac.

I remember that awful event also, and I certainly remember the very brave flight attendant Uli Derickson.

RIP Uli Derickson... you left this world too soon.
