“Are you guys ready? Let’s roll.”
[ Last reported words of Todd Beamer, passenger on United flight 93 ]
You know what I mean right? First there was United Flight 93. Looked like a good idea at the time, but let’s face it I don’t think a forest was what they wanted to destroy. Then there was the guy who tried to light his shoes on fire. That worked out just a planned.
In any case, there was an attempted hijacking on Qantas Airlines Flight 1737 from Melbourne to Tasmania about 9 or 10 hours ago in Australia. Not only did the would-be hijacker, David Mark Robinson — an unemployed computer analyst, have to deal with a flight attendant who refused to get out of the way of the cockpit door, but during the altercation with the flight attendant, he was attacked from behind by one Derek Finlay, a former member of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry. Needless to say the hijacking was a complete bust.
