Terrorist "Dry Run"? Why isn't this reported????
« on: November 10, 2010, 09:06:19 AM »
This was in my email yesterday. Did anyone else hear about this?

Subject:   Airline Incident Unreported - A MUST READ!!!!!!
 

    
     I, Gene Hackemack, received this email from my
 good friend Tedd Petruna, a diver at the NBL facility [Neutral
 Buoyancy Lab], at NASA Houston, whom I used to work with. Tedd
 happened to be on this same Flt. 297, Atlanta to Houston .
 
 In my opinion, the muslims are all getting
 very brave now...read Tedd's story below. Semper Fi
 
 PS: Can you imagine, our own news media now
 are so afraid to report that these were all
 
   muslims... unbelievable.
 
    Thank God for people like Tedd Petruna.
 
 
 One week ago, I went to Ohio on business and to see my father.
 
   On Tuesday, November the 17th, I returned home.
 
   If you read the papers on the 18th you may have seen a blurb where a
 AirTran flight was cancelled from Atlanta to Houston due to a man who
 refused to get off of his cell phone before takeoff. It was on Fox.
 
 This was NOT what happened.
 
 I was in 1st class coming home. 11 Muslim men got on the plane in
 
   full attire. One sat in 1st class and the rest peppered themselves
 
   throughout the plane all the way to the back.
 
   As the plane taxied to the runway, the stewardesses gave the safety spiel
 we are all so familiar with. At that time, one of the men got on his cell
 
   and called one of his companions in the back and proceeded to talk on
 
   the phone in Arabic very loudly and very aggressively. This took the first
 
   stewardess out of the picture for she repeatedly told the man that cell
 
   phones were not permitted at the time. He ignored her as if she was not there.
 
 The 2nd man who answered the phone did the same and this took out
 
   the 2nd stewardess. In the back of the plane at this time, 2 younger
 
   Muslims, one in the back, aisle, and one in front of him, window, began
 
   to show footage of a porno they had taped the night before, and were
 
   very loud about it. Now - they are only permitted to do this prior to Jihad.
 
   If a Muslim man goes into a strip club, he has to view the woman via mirror
 
   with his back to her. (don't ask me..I don't make the rules, but I've studied)
 
   The 3rd stewardess informed them that they were not to have electronic devices
 on at this time. To which one of the men said "shut up infidel dog!" She went
 
   to take the camcorder and he began to scream in her face in Arabic. At that
 
   exact moment, all 11 of them got up and started to walk the cabin.
 
 This is where I had had enough! I got up and started to the back where I
 
   heard a voice behind me from another Texan twice my size say "I got your
 
   back." I grabbed the man who had been on the phone by the arm and said,
 
   "you WILL go sit down or you will be thrown from this plane!"
 
   As I "led" him around me to take his seat, the fellow Texan grabbed him
 
   by the back of his neck and his waist and headed out with him. I then
 
   grabbed the 2nd man and said, "You WILL do the same!" He protested
 
   but adrenaline was flowing now and he was going to go.
 
 As I escorted him forward the plane doors open and 3 TSA agents and
 
   4 police officers entered. Me and my new Texan friend were told to cease
 
   and desist for they had this under control. I was happy to oblige actually.
 
   There was some commotion in the back, but within moments, all 11 were
 
   escorted off the plane. They then unloaded their luggage.
 
 We talked about the occurrence and were in disbelief that it had happen,
 
   when suddenly, the door opened again and on walked all 11!! Stone faced,
 
   eyes front and robotic (the only way I can describe it).
 
   The stewardess from the back had been in tears and when she saw this,
 
   she was having NONE of it! Being that I was up front, I heard and saw the
 
   whole ordeal. She told the TSA agent there was NO WAY she was staying
 
   on the plane with these men. The agent told her they had searched them
 
   and were going to go through their luggage with a fine tooth comb and
 
   that they were allowed to proceed to Houston .
 
   The captain and co-captain came out and told the agent "we and our crew
 
   will not fly this plane!" After a word or two, the entire crew, luggage in tow,
 
   left the plane. 5 minutes later, the cabin door opened again and a whole
 
   new crew walked on.
 
 Again...this is where I had had enough!!! I got up and asked "What the hell
 
   is going on!?!?" I was told to take my seat. They were sorry for the delay
 
   and I would be home shortly.I said "I'm getting off this plane". The
 
   stewardess sternly told me that she could not allow me to get off. (now I'm
 
   mad!) I said "I am a grown man who bought this ticket, who's time is mine
 
   with a family at home and I am going through that door, or I'm going
 
   through that door with you under my arm!! But I am going through that door!!"
 
   Then I heard a voice behind me say "so am I". Then everyone behind us
 started to get up and say the same. Within 2 minutes, I was walking off
 
   that plane where I was met with more agents who asked me to write a
 
   statement. I had 5 hours to kill at this point so why the hell not.
 
   Due to the amount of people who got off that flight, it was cancelled. I was
 supposed to be in Houston at 6pm. I got here at 12:30am.
 
 Look up the date. Flight 297 Atlanta to Houston .
 
 If this wasn't a dry run, I don't know what one is. The terrorists wanted
 
   to see how TSA would handle it, how the crew would handle it, and how
 
   the passengers would handle it.
 
 I'm telling this to you because I want you to know. The threat is real.
 
   I saw it with my own eyes.  -Tedd Petruna
I am a member of my nation's chosen soldiery.
God grant that I may not be found wanting,
that I will not fail this sacred trust.

I don't believe that Snopes, or their ilk are any type of bible or anything, but it sounds like this guy wasn't even on the plane and there are other items that don't jive. It's still good to keep your eyes, ears and antennae up anywhere you go and not just when it comes to guys in middle eastern garb.

I got the same e mail a year or two ago, so it isn't exactly breaking news.
I suspect it is mostly BS.
Here's one clue,

Subject:   Airline Incident Unreported -

  If you read the papers on the 18th you may have seen a blurb where a
 AirTran flight was cancelled from Atlanta to Houston


Obvious question is if it was "unreported" how would any one see a blurb in the paper ?

Plus, complete replacement crews don't "show up" in 5 minutes.
