White House: Attempted terrorist Attack in Detroit

I'm sure I do get different news from you guys since I actually live here, and yes - initial reports were that passengers reported that it sounded and smelled like firecrackers. My daughter is actually flying into Metro on Tuesday from Texas and was freaked out about it. She asked why they let firecrackers on a plane, so wherever she heard it from in Dallas must have initially reported the same thing. So Karl is right about initial reports because they were so anxious to report on the incident they didn't bother checking their facts. To cover their ass they said "passengers reported"...

But whatever the case may be, it was definitely a syringe and that's all that matters now so who gives a shit.

who gives a fuck? major news sources get their facts wrong on a daily basis. They simply did not have all of the facts at the time and updated the article when they got the facts. Ya digg?

That wasn't even the issue, the issue was FatBat having his head so far up his ass that he felt the need to actually say I must be in my own little world because what I typed yesterday isn't the same as being reported today, no shit they change, not my fault.


Ooooh, big man ended the thread... oh wait, no.
 
I bet this is just some mentally ill guy or religious nutter. But no doubt it will get played up as an Al Qaeda plot to keep the people scared.

Seriously????. Do you ever visit Huffpost or DailyKOS. You would be like a fucking king over there.

none of what you just typed made any logical sense at all. you don't "deserve" to call out another member here when he is just pointing out the facts. you started to be a douche for absolutely no reason, and since I am the official WF Douche Police, I couldn't let your overwhelming douchebaggyness slide

The only way to resolve this is for all parties to write a "Why I'm An Asshole" essay.
 
First reports that it was firecrackers (exactly what was said on the news) was wrong. It is a chemical compound called PETN. Same shit the shoe bomber tried to use. Extremely explosive... 100 grams of it will blow your crap up to hell. Dude had it strapped to his left thigh, while sitting over the jet fuel tanks, and at a window seat.

He was a dumbass though, because they were about to land, EVEN if the explosives were to go off, there was hardly any compression in the plane because they were at such a low altitude. If they were at 20,000 feet and it did explode. Good bye.

Its not like the pilots were gona be like "oh shit, I'm gona go crash this plane now". Would have continued to keep landing despite the hole out the side of the plane. I think at worse it would have fire on board, maybe a dozen people killed. But as you said, if done at 20K, you'd probably lose the entire crew compliment.

I dunno, maybe he was hoping the thing would crash into the airport itself.
 
So ya , fuck you.

For the umpteenth time. No one saw him light any firecrackers. The only reason firecrackers were mentioned was because that's what it sounded and smelt like to the passengers on board.

They CERTAINLY didn't see him trying to detonate the device by sticking a firecracker in it and lighting it, nor was it ever reported that way, which is some shit you just made up yourself when you said...

sounds like he had explosive powder substance, and was trying to use small firecrackers to ignite the powder (why not a match?)

well after it was pointed out to you that he actually used a syringe and well after that information about said syringe was in the news.

So that just makes you a rumor mongering douche who makes shit up, who can't get his facts straight, who can't read properly and who doesn't listen to what others tell him.

So go fuck yourself.

If you haven't pulled your head out of your ass by now to the see the pointlessness of what you're arguing there's no point in trying to explain it to you.

Exactly... it would be similar to the Southwest? Flight like... a year ago that had the hole appear in the roof suddenly during midflight. Remember that?
 
Apparently the TSA is now considering removing all electronic devices on flights because of this event. What the hell does this have to do with anything? TSA To Save Print Media? No Electronics On International Flights? What A Joke. - washingtonpost.com

I hate it when bureaucratic officials, instead of admitting their impotence, enact some bullshit measures like this.
Yeah, "stuff is being done" and so on. Here is the real problem:

"Abdulmutallab was put on a terror watch list, along with 550,000 others, but he was not put on the no-fly list and his U.S. visa, which he obtained a year and a half ago, was not revoked. He used the visa to board the flight to Detroit Christmas morning."

Lots of data is being collected on these douchebags, but nothing much is being done with the info they gathered.

Next up: Cheney will be blaming Obama any day now for the holes in the system set up and supposedly beefed up during his reign of terror.
