OOPS

SUICIDE



In this post 9/11 world, the simplest things can trigger and response. In the article someone saw a Janpanese business man write two words on a piece of paper and notified the flight crew as plane was preparing to take off from O'Hare Internation Airport. The plane taxied back to the terminal and all but that businessman were taken off and after questioning him. the flight was allowed to resume. The man had been reading a magazine article and writng down words he didn't understand to look up later.



Although I can't fine documentation on it, I heard on NBC Nightly News last week that a similar incident happened at LAX. Two women on board a plane saw these two arab looking young men moving from one seat to another. Because their activity looked susupicous, they notified the crew who questioned these men and found out that they were college students, but their student visas had expired so they sent home. Possible hijackers? Hopefully we will never know.
