Passenger captures dramatic video of SWAT team storming Toronto plane
CNN ^ | June 26, 2014 | Shelby Lin Erdman

The airline said the Panama-bound plane was forced to return to Toronto Friday morning about 45 minutes into the flight after a passenger, identified by authorities as Ali Shahi, made a "direct threat against the aircraft."

Witnesses told CNN affiliate CTV that Shahi said he wanted to bomb Canada.

I think the title should have been "Terror attack on plan foiled".

Short Video. Waaaaaayyyyy more of that d!ck David Gregory than I’d ever care to see.

I guess we’ll be hearing now how the DHS, FBI, TSA et al stopped another terrorist threat, huh?

A bunch of uncultured Canuck pigs storm a plane, imitating their Yank brethren. BFD.

A better plan would have been to dump Mr Shahi on West Virginia.

They played Simon Says. Repeat three times rapidly. “Hands up, heads down!”

I don’t understand why you are making fun of the elite SWAT team. They just knew there is a threat on the plane, didn’t know who — what would you have them do, ask politely, “Could the terrorist please raise his hand”?

To make fun of this, especially after 9-11, is pathetic.

WHY do they let these muck-mucks fly? Make arabs walk or take the bus, and this shit stops.

The terrorist was subdued over West Virginia. The situation was under control of a competent flight crew. These idiots had the time it takes to fly from West Virginia back to Canada to get their act together. Instead, they opted for fascist theater, doubtless to prove they have same amount of testosterone as their big brother pigs south of the border.

Screw 9-11. To the extent we change our ways as a result of 9-11, the wogs have won!

Better to NOT change our behavior and have many more terrorists attack on the same scale or larger than 9-11?!

Because a SWAT team is a dynamic entry team and represents significant danger to everyone on the plane who is NOT making threats.

Everyone on the plane is already contained so they sure aren’t going to bomb Canada from there.

9/11 is not justification for everything some thug on steroids wants to do with his taxpayer funded toys.

Excuse me. But the ‘elites’ in this country have overused that “after 9/11” excuse to excess, IMO.

They have used the banner of terrorism to create a whole agency dedicated to egregiously arming itself to the point of a private standing civilian army for Obama. Billions of rounds of hollow point ammunition, thousands and thousands of “personal defense weapons” (also known as M-4s). The BLM, USPS, Agriculture Department, IRS and so, so many other agencies all have the SWAT team equivalent. For what?

We have nearly every agency, city and town in this country now with a SWAT team. Armored vehicles, mobile command centers, automatic weapons, body armor - all the gear you’d need to storm Fallujah. For what? To raid some guy’s house in the middle of the night, shoot his dog, shoot him, his kids (drop a flash bang in the crib like here in Georgia) and then say “we followed procedure” when it turns out they had the wrong house?

I was answering a question that someone else had about what they said. You can take it how you will - I don’t care. But please don’t give me that 9/11 stuff. We’ve gone way, way beyond that now. It’s the citizens they’re after now.

The only change in behavior we need to prevent another 9/11 is to not sit back and trust our govt. Thats already happening, other passengers will take care of business.

Whats also happening is our govt is monitoring Americans far more than they are monitoring our enemies. Because we represent a threat to THEIR personal power.

How any terrorists has the TSA actually caught?

They HAD to storm the plane, otherwise the suspect might have had time to flush himself down the toilet.

It seems none of you are able to tell the difference between legitimate and illegitimate actions...
