| Israeli man "fails to hijack US plane" |
| 2009-04-26 |
| [Iran Press TV Latest] A Delta Airlines passenger jet en route to Tel Aviv from New York had to make and emergency stop when an Israeli man attempts to hijack the plane. The way I heard it, he tried to get into the cockpit. About an hour after the plane took off from New York City, the Israeli man tried to storm the cockpit of the Boeing 767, which was carrying more than 200 passengers. Several passengers and crewmembers took the man down and held him until the plane made an emergency landing at Boston's Logan International Airport. The planes passengers were interviewed by authorities and the plane's luggage was checked. All routine. Boston Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigations said a search of the plane did not reveal anything suspicious. The Aviation Herald reported that Logan officials said it appeared the situation was not terrorist-related and that the man likely suffered an anxiety attack. |

| #3 "...it appeared the situation was not terrorist-related and that the man likely suffered an anxiety attack." Cheap special effect dinosaurs have that effect on most. |

| #2 Several passengers and crewmembers took the man down and held him until the plane made an emergency landing A pack, not a herd. Take note, would-be jihadis. We don't require our military to harden potential civilian targets... although it sure is nice to have it handy! |

| #1 "...it appeared the situation was not terrorist-related and that the man likely suffered an anxiety attack." He probably saw a monster tearing up the wing. |
