10. According to CNN, passenger claimed to have a bomb...

...the Air Marshall chased and shot him on the jetway.

I'm putting my money on mentally ill passenger, not terrorism.

CNN now says man was on plane and "aggressively" pacing up and down the cabin, the AM's confronted him and shot him on the jetway...

11. Gate 42...suspect on plane

said he had a bomb, when approached by air marshalls as he was leaving the plane he refused to stop, reached in his bag and they shot him. They don't know why he said he had a bomb. Sounds like this happened at the Gate or Jetway AFTER exiting the plane...not ON the plane? Details still a bit sketchy. :shrug:

12. Suicide by Air Marshall?

[Skidmore]

13. Fellow passenger reporting on MSNBC that the man was bipolar.

Hadn't taken his medication. Wife tried to stop him.

This is what I expected it would be. Some poor guy with problems who reaps the full force of our new and better whizbang security system. Perhaps if they could put funds into support programs for the mentally ill, they wouldn't have a situation to begin with.

14. Picture this: meds in plane's luggage, flight late, ...

[Squatch]

16. ...yelling "I have a bomb"

[VolcanoJen]
