The Captain of a ship is more than just a “pilot”.
The captain is the ultimate legal authority on his ship. He can eject any passenger for any reason at any time.
I wanted to check on Continental flight 456 to get some detail....according to Google News....there is no news....didn’t happen....weird, huh?
The News Speak Disgronificator says "shouting unintelligibly" = "Allah Akhbar."
which is crazier- the yoots from yemen or from burbank...
“arab agoraphobia”
they just GOT to open the plane doors in flight, we should be culturally understanding
Hey...let’s not be insensitive here. Why, the word “Exit” may mean restroom in Farsi or Urdu. Clearly, the flight attendant was overreacting.
Since our government is more concerned with political correctness than with protecting American citizens from terrorists, I’ve decided to stop flying. Articles like this one confirm my decision.
This is the other one, Houston-to-Chicago flight. No name is given in this article, but we can start a pool to see if it's terrorist jihadi middle-eastern.
Terror-Filled Flight To Chicago Diverted To St. Louis

CHICAGO (CBS) – A flight from Houston to Chicago was diverted to St. Louis on Sunday after an unruly passenger, described as a 34-year-old Burbank, Ill. man, tried to open a plane door during the flight.
Continental Airlines Flight No. 456 left Houston around 11:45 a.m. and in mid-flight, the passenger became unruly and tried to open a door in the jet’s first-class section, officials and witnesses said. Lambert International Airport spokesman Jeff Lea in St. Louis said the man said he had to get off the plane.
Passenger Sara Olkon of Chicago said the trouble began when a scream erupted from first class.
“I assumed the worst, that it was some sort of terrorist attack,” she told CBS 2’s Mike Puccinelli.
Other passengers rushed to action. Witnesses say the men tackled the suspect and pinned him to the floor.
“If these men hadn’t been on the plane, maybe I wouldn’t be here now,” one passenger said.
The flight crew contacted law enforcement officials and the plane was diverted to St. Louis, according to a Continental airlines spokesperson.
The flight landed at about 1:30 p.m. at Lambert International Airport and the passenger was taken into custody. The plane was on the ground for less than an hour before it left for Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, a spokesperson said.
The FBI says the incident doesn’t appear terrorism-related. Federal officials were mulling charges against the man, whom Lea identified as a 34-year-old man from Burbank.
The flight landed at O’Hare at about 3:30 p.m., according to the airline.
Aviation experts say it’s impossible to open a door during flight because of pressurized air in the cabin. That didn’t stop passengers from being terrified. Some insisted on getting off the plane in St. Louis before it continued on to O’Hare Airport.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been that scared. I thought this could be it,” said Olkon, a former Chicago Tribune reporter once embedded with the U.S. military in Iraq.

Title seems to be wrong, flight was FROM Chicago
“Federal officials were mulling charges against the man, whom Lea identified as a 34-year-old man from Burbank.”
Burbank, Illinois
No coincidence that there is a significant arab population in Burbank and nearby Bridgeview, Illinois.

A cluster of 4 incidents:
The Continental Exterior Door-banger, diverted to Houston.
The AA Cockpit Door-banger, diverted to St. Louis.
The Note-in-the-Lavatory flight, diverted to Albuquerque.
The ASA pilot’s refusal to allow 2 mullahs to board in Nashville.
In one of these stories, passengers religion was mentioned, profusely.
The Continental flight investigators are still withholding the man’s name, a 34-year-old form Burbank CA. (Yes, you guessed correctly, as a percentage of population, Burbank has the highest percentage of Arabic-speakers of any city in California).
Thank you...there waas another report that said “California,” but you are correct. What is it about the name “Burbank” that draws muslims?
I’m actually more familiar with Burbank, Illinois, and was actually in the offices of the Holy Land Foundation on business once, not knowing anything at the time about who they were. Lots of angry anti-Israel posters in their basement.
They had “contribution boxes” printed up by some outfit in Milwaukee. They had thousands of these on a skid.
A couple months later I heard they were busted for sending cash to terrorists.
"None of the 162 passengers was hurt."
That's what you get when the primary job requirement is a leftist point of view.
“percentage of Arabic-speakers of any city in California)”
Wrong state.
Burbank, Illinois not Burbank, Calif.
(Of course, if he flew from Aden to Mexico City, he could have simply taken a bus to the border and walked across with the Mexicans and Central Americans. Another reason to seal the Border)
“Thank you...there waas another report that said “California,” but you are correct. What is it about the name “Burbank” that draws muslims?”
