Werd.
Just like at romp.com, the Mile High episodes are some funny stuff.

Article on Yahoo gives more detail--they were shaving their bodies.
Which apparently is also what some of the 9/11 hijackers were ordered to do.
Which I find strange b/c I though muslim's considered it a "sinful pleasure" for a razor to touch a man's skin, which is why devout Muslims wear beards.
But I could be wrong.

yeah, but they didn't shave on the gawddamn plane! They shaved the night before.


Hold on a minute... how is even possible to fit more then one person into one of those bathrooms at a time! I can barely stand up in those things.

Were they Muslim?

Obviously a bunch of idiots who forgot a step

A plane in Texas was turned around because the Federal Air Marshall
onboard thought someone had a "questionable object"
There are no confirmations yet as to what it was (grenade, gun?)

Yeah a clean shaven body suposidly provides for a smoother trip to their "heaven" or whatever. Crazy terrorists.
Btw, I can't imagine anyone would try anything on a plane today. The Air Marshalls are supose to be out in force, big time.

Dunno, the article only says they are Middle Eastern which has become synonamous with Muslim.

FBI is supposed to be negotiating with them now... What's too negotiate, just tell them to get TFO or we start shooting. This is really strange though. I'd like to hear their reason for locking themselves in the bathroom

 

[Rallispec]

where did they divert the plane too?

 

[Draco]

I'm starting to question the validity of this story.. no other networks are making any mention of it.

 

[geno]

major f@ppage....

 

[Rallispec]

lol the 'other' mile high club

 

[deftron]

Is the Associated Press reliable?

Flight diverted after passenger disturbance

FORT SMITH, Arkansas (CNN) -- A Northwest Airlines flight was diverted Wednesday to Fort Smith, Arkansas, after the pilot reported a disturbance involving passengers, federal officials said.

Northwest Flight 979, an Airbus A320, was traveling from Memphis, Tennessee, to Las Vegas, Nevada, with 94 passengers and five crew members when at least three men got into a confrontation with the flight crew, law enforcement officials said.

Rest of the story is here Flight Diverted after disturbance

Stumbled across this when searching for flight 979 on Google.com

Not the same flight but interesting.

I'd hope that the story would be burried by the networks if nothing of great importance happened. Today should be reserved for rememberance of the events of one year ago, not some stupid prank that had no big impact on society.

 

[HomeBrewerDude]

that is pretty sketchy stuff...

 

Really strange how the media seems to be glossing over this story. They shaved their bodies which was weird. I saw them on CNN just before and they were all Middle Eastern looking. It was only a 30 second blurb that they just seemed to shrug off. Odd.

 

[pillage2001]

If they were really shaving their bodies, how on earth did they get a razor on board?!?! :Q

Hmmm....

If, in fact, the following is true:

3 men of Middle Eastern ethnicity locked themselves in the plane bathrooms and were shaving thier bodyhair.

Then I would say that's almost certainly an 'incident'. And I also wonder why we havent heard more.
