Another Amsterdam - Detroit flight problem?
NY Times: Incident Reported on Another Amsterdam-to-Detroit Flight The pilots of Northwest Airlines Flight 253 from Amsterdam to Detroit -- the same flight involved in Friday's terrorism attempt -- requested emergency assistance Sunday upon landing in Detroit, Scott Wintner, an airport spokesman said. Police vehicles met the plane at the far end of the airport, and five buses drove up to the plane, in a repeat of the same scene that occurred on Friday. Mr. Wintner said he did not yet know what the emergency was, and said it could be anything from an ill passenger to a mechanical problem. "It's a pretty typical response," he said of the police vehicles. "With an aircraft situation, speed is of the essence." Mr. Wintner said airport officials were on their way to the scene. Anyone know what the emergency was? . . Thanks Levon. Interesting that this one is Nigerian too. We shouldn't focus on people from Nigeria though. Most of them aren't terrorists and would be offended. LOL

They are importing Nigeria's finest into the country, I see. Hopefully they are up for a few rounds of Golf. I don't know if we'll be able to visit with one another, otherwise.

I just heard about this and I feel like the fiddlers are playing while our city burns. Weird. Anyway, I heard them saying that someone barricaded themselves in a bathroom? I have no idea what could be happening but believe this... they are coming after us now. They are going to come after us here in America again now that Obama all but surrendered and we decided to start trying them in criminal court. We are basically committing suicide as a country. Isn't it so lovely? I think I'm going to be sick now.

The pilots' union should go on strike until muslims are banned from flying.

Hey, they all want nice beds in an American "supermax" prison. Free food, cable, computers, religious freedom, etc.......better than a tent in Nigeria. **Whoa, I never thought about the bathroom being used.....now THAT is scary!!!

Alot of people probably puked and they had to clean the carpets. It was a success. Thanks for the article, Levon, It is possible the guy who locked himself in the bathroom flipped out or completely panicked knowing the reputation of the lunatics who do attach explosives and stuff to themselves.

DETROIT (AP) -- A passenger onboard the same Northwest Airlines flight that was attacked on Christmas Day was taken into custody in Detroit on Sunday after becoming verbally disruptive upon landing, officials said. A law enforcement official said the man was Nigerian and had locked himself in the airliner's bathroom. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing. Delta Air Lines spokeswoman Susan Elliott said crew members requested that security remove the man from Flight 253 after he became disruptive. The remaining 255 passengers got off safely, she said. Airport spokesman Scott Wintner said it was the same flight on which a man tried to set off an explosive on Christmas Day. "The pilot requested emergency assistance upon arrival," he said. Security and airline personnel are on edge since the attempted terror attack on Christmas Day, and the law enforcement official said that lesser incidents had been reported on other flights arriving in Detroit, but the incident with the Nigerian man had sparked the most concern.

I'm sorry but Twin Girls Baby Boy made me laugh. There's something from "an ill passenger to a mechanical problem," and that's her response? Terrorists wouldn't be stupid enough to commit a second attack, after a failed attempt, with increased security, on the same route as was taken by the original terrorist. Edit: Oh no, it's not an ill passenger or a mechanical problem. It's a person being "verbally disruptive." Oooooh, scary.... Has Twin Girls Baby Boy come back from being sick yet?
