MILWAUKEE - "I would just like to know how to get to Ethiopia by boat."
Patricia "Scotty" Keepman still has a sense of humor after the harrowing experience she, her husband, daughter and two new adopted children from Ethiopia had as a man tried to detonate an explosive device while their plane was getting ready to land in Detroit on Christmas Day.
[...]
They were sitting about 20 rows behind Abdulmutallab, in a center aisle with her husband and daughter a row ahead of her and their two new adopted children, a six-year-old girl and an eight-year-old boy.
Her daughter said that ahead of them was a man who videotaped the entire flight, including the attempted detonation.
"He sat up and videotaped the entire thing, very calmly," said Patricia. "We do know that the FBI is looking for him intensely. Since then, we've heard nothing about it."
"We heard what sounded like an electrical pop to me. Everybody looked above their seats, kind of like startled, panicked. Shortly thereafter, we heard the screams. We could not see what was going on. We were too far back. We heard shouting, and you could hear the mayhem happening.
At that point, two flight attendants ran at full speed to get fire extinguishers.
There's lots more but the money quote is highlighted in red.
Only sketchy coverage of this story appears to be available at this point, so neither the credibility of this witness or whether this is actually being investigated by the FBI is confirmed at this point.
However, if the story is accurate, one can think of several reasons for a passenger "calmly" videotaping an entire transatlantic flight, including a violent confrontation involving fire breaking out on the aircraft, such as having nothing better to do and not understanding the situation. The most disturbing question is why would the accomplice of a suicide bomber bother to videotape a flight that is supposed to end in detonation of a bomb?

ReplyDeleteAssume this wannabe shahid wasn't aware he was simply used as tool to test:
1. abed's devotion to allah was indeed as strong as his physical attachment to his testicles.
2. test the security system as well as the crew and passenger's response.
This young and extremely gullable muslim of Kenyan/Yemeni decent piously submits to allah . . .a clear sign of a sucker being had by Arab (not black) imam. We've read in these pages that abdulmuttalab was somewhat catatonic . . .likely drugged out of his mind to keep him compliant. We've also read in these pages that abdulmuttalab was assisted in Schipol airport by a well dressed Indian (prob Paki) and was permitted to board flight 253 sans passport documentation, thereby security overlooking UK ban on re-entry and abdulmuttalab's name on a long list of suspicious terror suspects. Not to mention his lack of baggage and one way ticket purchased in cash. Too many coincidences in my opinion.
If the whole flight was videotaped and the tape does not surface voluntarily, it may be used to provide instruction for improvement - for the ultimate act of terror.
I also believe that this ultimate act will involve more than one plane and more than one venue - any and as many venues which provide a conveniently captive audience/mass of victims.
Recall the recent article about a village missing it's idiots? What about those five American students held in Pakistan found with maps of nuclear facilities? Or what about those missing youthful somali refugees found training for jihad?
I suspect the next event is in it's final planning stages and will involve several of these gullable, pious, disposable volunteers who are ignorant of Mo's characterization of them as "raisin head pug-nosed, “chocolata”, “africaca”(African shit)" . . . willingly submitting their body blood and souls as slaves to a racist long dead profiteer.
