I wonder if the injuries are scalds.
The powder: Magnesium? There is also Thermite. You can see a lot of Beavis and Butthead types burn magnesium on youtube.
...because my man, feds are an incompetent bunch of boobs......and unfortunately, these people are running things....we have spun out of control...the next stop is chaos and destruction....because the people who are supposed to be watching are ate up with political correctness, therefore.....worthless......
Multiple injuries, now being reported, exceeds the initial report of fireworks set off by a passenger- for accuracy... hmmm...
It does remind me of the shoe bomber attempt.
It sounds like burning metal splatter, possibly.
Also, the “firecracker” sound could be the crackle of a burning metallic powder. Not intentional misinformation.
Scattered burning thermite will do that to people. I was wondering when someone would try that one.
Agreed, and more...
I agree!!! WTH was he on the plane in the first place?
Janet Napolitano, please pick up the courtesy phone. Dingbat.
Close....Reid tried it on 12/22/01...
I think muslims should be made to fly with only other muslims.
Let ‘em pre-pay the plane’s insurance costs in case they blow it up, and let them post-pay the clean up and fumigation fees for the plane in case they do not blow it up.
Every flight should serve ham sandwiches.
Firearms are handled carefully, always as if they are loaded, even if they are not.
The same should apply to muslims - always treat them as if they are a loaded [ie: jihadist] muslim, even if they are not.
Completely agree.
They all look the same to me.
I don’t care to risk my safety to attempt to distinguish between radicals and non-radical,
And I don’t care if this makes me a bigot.
As far as I am concerned, they are all jihadis...
Including the president.
Save for later
The hippies got their wish, They are having a war and no one from our side came. I bet it pisses Osama off to no end to attack and not get any credit for it.
