PM has an exclusive up with the real story about the Imams who were taken off that US Airways flight. Contrary to the MSM reports there was a very good reason they were removed:
“Contrary to press accounts that a single note from a passenger triggered the imams‚Äô removal, Captain John Howard Wood was weighing multiple factors – factors that have largely been ignored by the press.
Another passenger, not the note writer, was an Arabic speaker sitting near two of the imams in the plane’s tail. That passenger pulled a flight attendant aside, and in a whisper, translated what the men were saying. They were invoking “bin Laden” and condemning America for “killing Saddam,” according to police reports.
Meanwhile an imam seated in first class asked for a seat-belt extension, even though according to both an on-duty flight attendant and another deadheading flight attendant, he looked too thin to need one. Hours later, when the passengers were being evacuated, the seat-belt extension was found on the floor near the imam‚Äôs seat, police reports confirm.”
Check out the rest.
Simply put this was a “dry run” and it was twarted because of the alertness of passengers. May we have more of the same with every flight.
