The kind of flight goes from Nigeria to Detroit?
From Amsterdam to Detroit.
BTW, seems as though the White House is afraid to call terrorist attacks terrorist attacks.
A law enforcement source said the explosives may have been strapped to the man's body but investigators weren't immediately certain, partly because of the struggle with other passengers.
The passengers should've killed the guy. a judge, a jury... right then and there they should have just bludgeoned his head against an armrest until his brain leaked out.
I believe Amsterdam was just a layover site.
That's the way the news story reads.
The flight went from Nigeria to Amsterdam to Detroit. Not all that out of the ordinary.
I'm flying in to Detroit in 2 days... not looking forward to what the "extra precautions" during security screening will be.
i wonder how many seconds it will take for somebody to say he has ties to obama
I've gone through DTW several times over the past year and a half. The security has never seemed any different but if the Plane originated overseas then I don't see how changing OUR security here makes a difference.
Dude, you scare me sometimes. And by sometimes I mean over 90% of your posts.
Should have thrown him out of the plane. The mofo tried to kill a load of folks.
Maybe. (In reality, it's probably more like 5%)
But now? Dude, the guy tried to blow up a plane on behalf of Al Qaeda. He tried to kill scores if not hundreds of Americans.
Why would it scare you that someone would want violence enacted against this guy? (from his fellow passengers? i.e. the people he was trying to kill)
Anyways, I don't remember you chastising all the people who checked into the 'what would you do to Bin Laden' thread.
from what it seems it was like a firecracker from the witnesses.
I was wondering how he would manage to get an explosion, he would need wayyyy more than what he had. As expected it caused a fire and on CNN I heard he caught his crotch and pants on fire. And the then the fire burned the blanket and thats all that happened.
Yes, because opening a pressurized cabin while in flight is an awesome idea.
Ask the CIA
It wasn't just a fire cracker. Some NSA or FBI guy or some such source said that whatever the device was, it was somewhat intricate in its design and had it worked right, it would have taken down the plane. Plus, the would-be terrorist was a chemistry student.
I'm with balli. I would have strangled that er right there. No way anyone would have testified anyways, and what jury of 12 would ever convict me for killing a suicide bomber in self defense?
Ha. I need to investigate some peoples stance on "torture" when I'm bored. Too funny
Apparently this guy has been on our radar for a while. What's with this trend? It's really not workin', people.
That's because you're a ing moron. One who can't understand the difference between public/state policy and some private citizen's vigilant action against their would-be killer.
Sounds like (US) security botched, yet again, defense of the Homeland, while keeping 1000s of innocents on the watch list, while harassing millions of people with their plane check-in security charade, and investigating anti-war demonstrators and anti-Repug demonstrators.

"University College London issued a statement saying a student named Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab studied mechanical engineering there between September 2005 and June 2008."

I wonder what percentage of flights have an Air Marshal on board?
