Yup, I always sit in the burning pants section.
Unfreakening believable. I wonder if this will finally start waking people up or if the MSM will continue to cover for terrorists.
“MSM reports: He acted alone. The bomb was crude. ... You get a very different impression from Fox News.”
Exactly. Per Fox, the device was “sophisticated”. So like the MSM to provide excuses for terrorists and play down everything.
Materials for device out of Yeman, but nothing is confirmed even the "correct name" as 2.
“
I’d like to poll the audience, here....
How many fights have you been involved in on an international flight?”
Back in 1970 I was supposed to catch a KLM flight from Amsterdam to NY but it was hijacked by Yasser Arafat...does that count?
How long? The radio news at the last hour reported he CLAIMS to be working on behalf of al Qaeda, but the matter is being investigated. I’m pretty sure he was just lighting some ceremonial incense and everyone somehow got the wrong idea. Those pesky passengers will feel so silly in the morning.
I didn’t know there were Amish in Nigeria.
There is no England anymore.
a SERIOUS post on DU
“Some perspective on this people...
Nigerians celebrate Christmas with setting off fire-crackers. The questions are, is this particular Nigerian visiting the United States for the very first time? Was he engaging in his country’s practice of celebrating Christmas with fire-cracker? Did he choose the very worse place to engage in his celebrations?
Like you stated, the mere possession of fire-crackers and displaying them on a plane should get this idiot (and I do not use the word ‘idiot’ lightly) charged with terrorism. But let us remember not everyone is aware of our laws, security concerns and way of life, I am just saying... “
That counts....
LoL!
The timing of the attacks and origin of the attacks would also be significant in light of recent U.S. supported counterterror strikes against Al-Qaeda operatives in Yemen.
sounds like one twisted sister.
Now from WDIV TV in Detroit. The person went to the bathroom, came back holding a pillow, sat down and started doing something under it. The fire stared and he was jumped on by two passagers who put the fire out and held him.
No link, just watched local news.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These are the people who voted in Obama!!!!!!!
I always celebrate fourth of July with my fireworks strapped to me leg. /sarcasm
“Obama’s military aide told the president about an incident aboard a plane as it was landing in Detroit just after 9 a.m. here. “

What freaking religious ceremony??? He's got the whole stinking Middle East and he comes to America from Lagos for a religious ceremony??? BS. Pure BS. Red flags should've been going up all over the place at Customs or Homeland Security or whomever is responsible for screening out incoming terrorists. And he should never have been given a visa based on that lame, weak-a** reason for visiting America.
Yeah, but you’re only flying into Baghdad. Baghdad is no Detroit. :)
Think of the PR coup they would have established ... Yemeni Al Q “strike” on a mayor American city on CHRISTMAS ... the news on Fox reports that everyone but DU acknowledges that this is probably a “new type of device” they were trying and that he does in fact have terrorist ties ... they believe the explosives were Al Q by way of Yemen and that the airport second screening failed ... even though they admit, he was on a “second tier” list ... as if there should be such a thing ...
