#5 The passenger became unruly... and was subdued by other passengers and federal air marshals

Hope they got plenty of boots in.

#6 I often wonder if these incidents aren't just 'tests' by those who wish to kill us. How do we (as passengers, crews & air marshall) react in such occasions? Much could be learned and added to 'future plans' by these killers.

#7 "Wolfenberger said the man was held down and had the ever living shit kicked out of him punched by other passengers as he grabbed the man's leg. Air marshals then came and kicked the ever living shit out of him some more took custody of the man."

#9 The a**hole tries to open the exit door, is taken down by passengers, and survives to answer questions for the FBI? How? why? Perhaps it's more difficult to kill someone with your bare hands than I thought.

#10 Nope. It's easy. Just gotta know where to strike. I could teach a 9 year old girl to do it.

#11 Even I know how, Mark Z -- Mr. Wife taught me back when we were doing his Kung Fu blackbelt forms together. It just gives me nightmares even to remember that. I shan't sleep well tonight.

#13 I like this article because it shows that things have changed after 9/11. Instead of sitting back and waiting for “someone” to do something the passengers subdued the idiot and then the Air Marshall took over. Note to aspiring Jihadis: Don’t try the same thing again, it won’t work.

#14 Cyber Sarge, how about "don't try the shit". Period.

#16 The money quote:

"Any time you hear a flight attendant shout 'please help,' you worry that something pretty bad is going to happen," he said.

I, too, am amazed that this person is still breathing. As far as I am concerned, anyone trying to hijack or bring down a flight in progress has forfeited their life on the spot. You don't just subdue one of these freaks, you disable them, permanently if that's what seems like the right thing to do.

I wrote about this on the net when I got home from work on 9-11-2001. I called it a "Revised Airflight Passenger Protocol". The worst irony of all is that I used to fly with both a folding hunter and Swiss army knife* in my possession. Had I been on one of the 9-11 flights, there would have been a dead terrorist or three.

* I heard an interesting statistic that, in the event of a wilderness plane crash, if you are carrying even a small blade, your chances of survival go up 50%.

#18 Reminds me of what Carlos Mencia said. If this had been Southwest Airlines, this guy would be dead.

#19 Carrying 2 would guarantee safety, hell carrying three knives and you'd thrive.
