Southwest Flight #21 diverted from Dallas to Houston via San Antonio
Edited on Fri Aug-05-05 02:02 PM by shelley806
due to 'threatening verbal note.' CNN is covering non-stop currently..


Initially Kyrass Phillips stated the plane was diverted from Dallas to San Antonio, and later changed it to Corpus Cristi..A threatening NOTE was found onboard.

MSNBC as Flash News Headline: I kid you not.."Possible BOMB threat"

edited for updated info.

8. And, more important, waste our time and cause fear and divert our
respective attentions from more impotant media coverage (like Aruba, Jackson, etc.) :sarcasm:

14. To differentiate it from a non-threatening verbal threat.
Sort of like, "Cooling warmth", or, "Homicidal kindness".

6. I thought the majority of these things were arresting drunk people.
I guess with all the "terrorism" mass hysteria they're seeing Goldsteinism or whatever everywhere.

Why in the heck are they sending the plane to Houston? They rather it blow up there?

12. Oh, a threatening verbal threat.
As opposed to a nonthreatening verbal threat? Or a threatening non-verbal threat? How about a threatening verbal non-threat.

Apparently you're screwed if you've got Turrets Syndrome and get on a plane these days.

Everyday it has become clearer and clearer that Osama has won this war. Americans are more than willing to ditch their civil liberites, and are now crying like little children whenever somebody says "BOO". Home of the brave my ass:eyes:
