Anyone know why the first thread was yanked about 5 minutes ago?

Fox TV is reporting the same thing.

Why did it take so long for this news to get out??
To: Hugh Akston
What the hell? Exactly....
To: 11th Earl of Mar
Then why exactly were they reporting that the hijackers (who now don't exist) were asking for the plane to be refueled and for engineers?
Dank Yew - come again!

LMAO!!!
"Hey! Aren't you hijacking the plane?"
"No, I thought you were!"
To: 11th Earl of Mar
Confusion in the cockpit? You're either being hijacked or you're not. How hard can that be to figure out?

Maybe the phone call resulted in the tower calling the cockpit and informing them that they were being hijacked.

Chineese fire drill? Plane stops at a red light, everybody out, run around the plane, jump back in and take off and laugh like crazy.

This thread is about to get yanked. Apparently, you should have posted this under one of the existing threads... or so I'm told.

NEW DELHI: After more than four hours of anxious moments, Union Civil Aviation Minister Shahnawaz Hussain said the supposed hijacking of the Alliance Air was a creation of confusion caused by a false alarm received at the Ahmedabad ATC . The message to the ATC, which said the plane had been hijacked, was promptly passed on to the pilots who locked the cockpit.[ 1:25:28 AM Thursday, October 04, 2001 ]

What a load of crap. I'm now convinced there is a total blackout on further terrorist strikes. They don't want panic. Every time a story comes out now, it totally morphs and either becomes a false alarm, or an unrelated incident. The Indians were talking of storming the plane within 2-3 hours, and just now go "Surprise! This has been only a test!" If this is true, we should beat the idiot responsible for the drill to death. I completely give up on getting the true story on anything anymore.
