Another "nut on a plane gets pummeled" story:
 

Don't get all "off your meds" on a plane these days, the passengers will issue you a beat-down. And good I say. :cool:

Wish I'd been there. I'd gotten a few in. Cheap shots are allowed when dealing with dumba$$es

Yep. This kind of reaction has all but guaranteed a repeat of September 11th cannot happen.

9/11 was a one-shot deal. Something that only works the first time you try it.

Like the parking brake on a Plymouth?

LMFAO! Man, thank you for the first good laugh of the day. :)

LOL, good stuff!

Or the fuel lines on a 951...

Those passengers deserve medals and public commendations.

In reality they'll probably be sued for everything they own and lose.

I have a feeling I missed a funny thread here at some point(?)

Nope. You didn't miss anything. It is what it is.

The line came to mind because my first car was a Plymouth and the parking brake never worked twice in a row. I had to get it fixed several times.

MOPAR, lol....Mom's Old Pig Aint Running.

Mostly Old Parts And Rust.

Yeah, I would've clubbed that dumb ass like a baby seal.

so do you think they beat him and then tied him into a seat and belted him down?

what an idiot. to bad you just couldnt open the door and push him out.

On his head during the landing.

LMFAO! hahahaha man that was funny!

i would have been polite and kind and asked him "yer gonna do WHAT DOUCHE BAG?" befo clubbing him like a baby fur seal!

i demand a "NO MEDS MONTH" and compile stats on how good or bad people are thruout the u.s. during those 30 days. kind of a general populace experiment.

DON'T mess around these days folks. There are Federal Flight Deck Officers in the cockpits of a LOT of airliners now. Two years ago, there were only a few "certified to fly with a gun" airline pilots; these days it is common for a Federal Agent to be armed and in the cockpit. I'm planning on taking the training this year.

My only problem with the whole thing: I prefer the .40 S&W. The FFDO program revolves around 9 mm handguns...

Might as well be a bb gun!

N!

It was tried four times that day. Only the first three were "successful".

Every airline passenger since Sept. 11 has been deputized.

That's funny...my retired pilot friend was issued a Sig in .40 "Short and Weak" caliber. He flew for American...
You can have a daisy BB gun, I'll take my 9mm Hi-Power...;)

arent the bullet designed differently not to poke a hole in the cabin?

I remember thinking that all of the fear about flying right after 9/11 was silly- it simply cannot happen again. Virtually every able-bodied man on a plane will go after anyone who tries anything. Nobody will ever again be able to convince passengers that they are turning the plane around to land and get their demands met- they won't even be able to say anything.

There will never be another successful hijacking of a commercial plane.

I am not by any stretch a big guy, but for sure, if a guy behind me started saying stuff about having a bomb or rushing the cockpit, I'd be eye-gouging, crotch-kicking, stabbing with a pen, pretty much every life-or-death cheap-shot move I know, until he was subdued or dead. I think pretty much everyone feels the same.
