The trick is not to tell on an online forum. No point in declaring it to the world, really. Plus, in the end it doesn't matter as long as they prevent accidents from happening.
go on then pm it to me, if you *really* can tell
Don't have to prove anything to someone I don't know if I can trust.
Not saying it's a big confidential secret, but I assume it would be best that word didn't get spread.
just wondering, how do you know who is/isn't an armed guard?
oh for fucks sake its not the bloody location of the fountain of youth
im just curious that you can make a statement like that and not back it up in any way
Being in the surroundings of either people who fly or are directly connected to El-Al, would give me a hint.
Either way, Char, calm down. Didn't mean this to be a kindergarten kind of "I know something you don't, na na na na".
i'm very sorry for saying this to the passangers of the 9/11 flights but what a pack of ******s they were, come on face it, if you saw a couple of arabs standing up with weapons and said we're hijacking this plane, i wuld jump up and absolutely kick the fuck out of one of them and got others to help before they even reached the cock pit, the penslyvenian ones did that and i'm sure they saved the lives of many people, possibly george bush, but what were the others thinkin., "oh yea they're taking us home", of course they knew they were gonna die anyway so why didn't they help the 2,900 odd in the towers, silly people
in part i agree with you and the pensylvanian ones were incredibly brave for attempting to overthrow the terrorists. but i guess in a situation like that, although normally 40 people could overpower one guy, they might have been too scared to?
no offence, but they had knifes for fucks sake, not guns and couldnt have killed a lot of people, someone could have grabbed them and took the knife off them and restrained them, like its been said, they were outnumbered and played on the people being cowards to not restrain or defend them selves
also im sorry these people died, no-one deserves to die in fear, but like the pennsylvania plane, it could have saved lifes
i know and i agree, im just saying that because we weren't in that situation we don't really know the situation
Fine you have your opinion.
But I ask of you to respect the memory of the people dead, and maybe formulating yourself in a clearer and more respective language.
Thanks.
They give them identity cards and whatnot.
Are you an expert on being in a hi-jacking situation? Has your plane ever been hi-jacked? You have no way of knowing how you would react to that type of situation, and I very much doubt you would do the above when they are willing to die for their cause with big knives.
Better 1 dead than 20 or 30.
What? they would just let their guns be taken away? What planet are you on?
in regards to your comment to my post, sure they can have identity cards, great. but at what point of the highjacking will they be able to flash their cards to the passengers on the plane? ID cards can also be forged (well if credit cards can be, i'm sure they can). its all nice having ID cards but in the situation i very much doubt they'd be much help for the passengers identifying who really is a sky marshall.
but what if the 1 or 2 dead are the pilots and co pilots? and like it was said before, what if they shot the window? or shot something that helped control how the plane works (cant think of specifics but u know what i mean)
oddly enough i haven't been on a hi-jacked plane but i have been in a situation where someone has threatened me with a knife and i did handle it pretty easily, you say they are willing to die for their cause, well i'd be willing to survive for my cause, and what would you do in that situation, plead with them, "please put the knife away", of course you would jump up and fight them (especially if 200 odd people there on your side), stop being a SILLY AMERICAN LOVER
But let's be honest, if the shit hits the fan and a terrorist takes over the plane, you'll be an "innocent bystander" anyway...
