I'm only half listening from the other room, but I guess there was a shooting on an American Airline jet. It's landed and a SWAT team has shown up.

It was a flight from Medellin, Colombia to Orlando FL, apparently. It looks like one of the air marshalls shot a passenger and they are evacuating the other passengers from the rear of the plane. I can't get to a TV, that's just what I learned from the internet.

So far the tenative story has a suspect shot by a US Marshall after threatening the safety of the plane.

[Oh, Gee!!]

A senior administration official added that the passenger claimed to have a bomb in his carry-on luggage.


he probably said bong, not bomb. stupid airplane cop

[sa_butta]

bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb b-bbomb, cant say bomb on a plane.

bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb b-bbomb, cant say bomb on a plane.

Part of the transportation speech given to new military recruits on their way to basic training: "Do not jokingly talk about guns, bombs or hi-jacking while in the airport, it's a federal offense."

And dont say Hi to your friend Jack on a plane.

Exactly!

[nkdlunch]

damn, what if that dude was just rushing to the bathroom to put a stink bomb in there. Flying is fucking dangerous now

[JoeChalupa]

Don't ever greet a friend named Jack at an airport.

never mind. :lol

Guy deplaned, had a fight with his wife, was going to get back on the plane, got on to the jet way and said he had a bomb. Then he rushed the marshalls while reaching into his bag and they shot him.

What we have here is a failure to communicate.
That's how he wants it...well he gets it.

Um, when a federal air marshal tells you to stop with a gun pointed at you, stop. This doesn't mean continue to run and reach for something in your handbag.

It's not rocket science.

Sadly I suspect this is just another form of suicide by cop, except it was by air marshal.

A friend of mine is local 737 pilot that has a Flight Deck officer license. I helped him get tighter groups on his shots at the range. :)

Hey if they are flying the plane they might as well pack. I would of put revolvers on em long time ago (revolvers are idiot proof).

These Air Marshals have a hard job I would not want.. 99.9999% total bordem and a split second responsibility. But I feel safer flying with them around.

[JoeChalupa]

Well I'm glad this shit went down during the .0001% when he wasn't bored.

[T Park]

stupid airplane cop

Yeah,

damn him for thinking of those hundreds of lives on the plane.

Dumb fuck.

[ChumpDumper]

Sounds like suicide by cop.
