GrantDawg · 12-07-2005, 01:52 PM

MIAMI (AP) - Shots were fired on board an American Airlines flight that had landed at Miami International Airport, according to broadcast reports.

At least one person was wounded, the reports said. The plane had just arrived from Colombia and was headed to Orlando. Television showed police SWAT officers surrounding the plane. Airport and Miami-Dade County police officials said they had no immediate comment.

Can't find any info on this, beyond that AP bit. There's a live video feed at cbsnews but I don't have audio.

kingfc22 · 12-07-2005, 01:53 PM

FOX news and CNN are showing it right now.

CNN says it was the federal marshal that fired the shot, which is a relief to those of us traveling in the near future.

After the UK shooting I'm not so confident about that. Hopefully everything came out okay.

Timestamp bug strikes again.

Fox saying passenger claimed he had a bomb. Still comforted?

Ksyrup · 12-07-2005, 01:57 PM

Well, anyone can claim anything. Now, if he actually has one, then no, I won't be.

Ksyrup · 12-07-2005, 01:58 PM

The plane was coming from Columbia. Did the soccer team lose last night or something?

GrantDawg · 12-07-2005, 01:58 PM

CNN saying shots where fired on the jetway, and there is not confirmation whether the person was on the plane or was running up the jetway while trying to enter the plane.

Ksyrup · 12-07-2005, 02:00 PM

Says wounded a passenger, though, which suggests someone who was on the plane.

Yeah, they are saying now he did become agressive in the plane.

GrantDawg · 12-07-2005, 02:04 PM

So, what's the chance this has more to do with drugs than terrorism? The passenger is alive, btw.

jeff061 · 12-07-2005, 02:04 PM

CBS said he was dead a 1 minute ago. Hooray for speculative reporting

.

jeff061 · 12-07-2005, 02:05 PM

Dola, just said he's dead again

I'm feeling better!

jeff061 · 12-07-2005, 02:12 PM

From CBS news, on it not being terrorist related:
"According to my sources, this person was some kind of nut."

That's pretty much a direct quote.

jeff061 · 12-07-2005, 02:13 PM

that's hard hitting journalism

They then added he was not only nutty but deranged as well.

Who cares, if he claimed it, then he's the moron for saying it.

GrantDawg · 12-07-2005, 02:28 PM

Seems there is some confirmation on the "nut" side. He was running up and down the cabin with his wife trying to calm him down.

And CNN confirming he is now dead.

Wolfpack · 12-07-2005, 02:29 PM

He's dead then?

Hurst2112 · 12-07-2005, 02:32 PM

he was fatally shot.

Hurst2112 · 12-07-2005, 02:33 PM

he actually said that he had a 'bong'. they shot an innocent stoner.

kidding.

gottimd · 12-07-2005, 02:33 PM

Call me if his condition changes

CraigSca · 12-07-2005, 02:42 PM

If they send him to a better hospital they could upgrade his condition to "alive".

gottimd · 12-07-2005, 02:43 PM

Someone like that should go to Dr. Nick.

GrantDawg · 12-07-2005, 02:45 PM

CNN reports that the indiviual was 44 years old male and an American citizen. And Homeland Security will not confirm the person is dead.

jeff061 · 12-07-2005, 02:46 PM

So when do we have to put up with the people saying Air Marshalls should not be able to carry guns or maybe not even exist?

Personally, based on the information out there so far, I'm not shedding a tear for this guy.

There might be some, but not much. Air Marshall's are the one item in the fear-mongered post 9/11 changes that makes sense. This kind of thing is going to happen, and is not uncalled for.

rkmsuf · 12-07-2005, 02:53 PM

Maybe they'll add a question that the ticket person asks:

"Have you been with your luggage the entire time at the airport?"

"Are you currently a nut?"

stevew · 12-07-2005, 03:37 PM

Man, he should have cut down on unleashing the fucking fury.

stevew · 12-07-2005, 03:37 PM

As somebody who likes to regularly get totally wasted on flights, then run up and down the aisle claiming to have a bomb, I would like to say that Air Marshalls should not be able to carry guns. And guns should maybe not even exist.

CNN.com: "Killed man's luggage exploded on tarmac"

Which made me think his luggage exploded on it's own, and not just blown up by cops. Their intentional miswording made me read the article, and now I'm pissed. I'm going to somebody set up us the bomb.
