Hi Jamie, this is Gene Hackemack, and I am the one who posted Tedd’s story.
NASA almost fired him today, and he is now “laying low” because he does not want to endanger his employment. I am attaching his story and another eye witness.
I wish I could say this is false information, but unfortunately it is true. Thank you for your email - please let me clarify that I was not on the flight with Tedd.
I worked with Tedd for about ten years and have no reason to doubt his word and wanted the world to know so I sent his email to all Americans who care about where this country is heading to.
I am so proud of Tedd and what he did – HE is the true hero. I am only trying to get the word out.
This story IS legitimate – but the drama continues.
This morning Tedd informed me that he was fired for speaking out! I was livid. So I continued my full court press all day today trying to keep everyone abreast of the situation.
Then I received a phone call from another witness aboard the plane, Dr. Keith Robinson, Senior Chaplain for Houston Regional Community Chaplain’s Corps. He backed Tedd up and said he was going to bat for him, especially since he will soon be appearing on Fox News!
THEN – just before I was leaving for my American Legion meeting – a call from Tedd Petruna, that NASA had “unfired” him after further investigation. I actually cried for joy, I was so happy!
Included in this email will be some hard evidence supporting documents. Don’t forget to open them.

They did get off the plane. Its in the email from the witness.
Tedd Petruna’s original documentation of the event ... including this
~~~~~
The stewardess from the back had been in tears and when she saw this, she was having NONE of it! Being that I was up front, I heard and saw the whole ordeal. She told the TSA agent there was NO WAY she was staying on the plane with these men.
The agent told her they had searched them and were going to go through their luggage with a fine tooth comb and that they were allowed to proceed to Houston .
The captain and co-captain came out and told the agent “we and our crew will not fly this plane!”
After a word or two, the entire crew, luggage in tow, left the plane. 5 minutes later, the cabin door opened again and a whole new crew walked on.
Again…..this is where I had had enough!!! I got up and asked “What the hell is going on!?!?” I was told to take my seat. They were sorry for the delay and I would be home shortly.
I said “I’m getting off this plane”. The stewardess sternly told me that she could not allow me to get off. (now I’m mad!) I said “I am a grown man who bought this ticket, who’s time is mine with a family at home and I am going through that door, or I’m going through that door with you under my arm!! But I am going through that door!!”
And I heard a voice behind me say “so am I”. Then everyone behind us started to get up and say the same. Within 2 minutes, I was walking off that plane where I was met with more agents who asked me to write a statement.”
According to the story I read, the crew walked off the plane and a new crew came on for the flight...
Almost everyone but the eleven “problems” got off, a new crew was assigned, the flight was eventually cancelled, and Petruna got home at 12:30 AM instead of 6:00 PM. Other replies should take you to at least two other sources.
