...A witness said the man frantically ran down the aisle and a woman with him said he was mentally ill....

Not any more.

I find the various comments in this thread rejoicing at the death of another human being, who may in fact have been ill, a bit disturbing. As I said in my last post, I don't think the air marshals are liable--they can't just ignore a bomb threat in an airport. However, I fail to see why a man being mentally ill is cause for people to rejoice at him dying.

If it's true, and the man really as mentally ill, then the only thing that this story shows is that Bad Things happen.

And in a worse case scenario this all could have been an act and then he would have had a real bomb.
