<hypothetical> Returning from a long vacation where he lost his meds and couldn't get them refilled, this man, realizing he was now on the wrong connecting flight, forgotten something, or whatever, began running up the aisle demanding to get off.
The crew had already sealed the plane for departure and is now refusing to let anyone deboard. The man, already stressed from a long flight and losing his meds and desperate to get off the plane, grasps at the one thing he knows will get him booted off the plane: the claim of having a bomb. The worst that can happen is that they will confine him for questioning, search his possessions and realize he doesn't have a bomb, and ultimately release him right? He gets off the plane and chased by the air marshalls gets on the ground but desperate to prove he doesn't actually have a bomb he reaches for his bag to show that it's okay... </hypothetical> I have no idea what happened. The reports are still sketchy, and probably won't get much clearer, and with his death we will never know what he was thinking. Claiming to have a bomb is certainly a serious matter. So is shooting to kill. On 12/7/05, Cameron Childress <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The whole question of if he was on the plane of not is somewhat > irrelevant - no?
