Four Guys Mixing Chemicals in the Airplane Bathroom.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

I was either dreaming or I just saw this animated graphic
on my TV set news station where the mastermind gets up from his
seat with some chemicals and then three other guys get up with
other chemicals and they all go in the bathroom together and mix
the chemicals and then the mastermind gets his cell phone and
uses it to blow everything up. This sounds like a truly genius plan
but my only question is, Is there room in an airplane bathroom for
four guys to even get in there, much less be mixing up deadly chemical explosives?

[skids]

1. I dunno. Sounds kinda kinky if you ask me. n/t

[EstimatedProphet]

2. Are you kidding? I can't fit in one alone!

[Warpy]

3. It's hard enough for an amorous couple to cram themselves into

an airline bathroom, and they have to be VERY chummy. Even then, I'm sure elbows and knees go places they'r not wanted.

This is ludicrous. It will impress no one but ignorant jerks in the heartland who have traveled as much as Stupid did before he was handed his stolen office.

[Dr.Phool]

4. Candy Crowley couldn't get in one,

[truebrit71]

8. Candy Crowley couldn't get in two if you put them side-by-side....

...and took off all the doors and walls....

[CoffeeCat]

15. Did you know that if Candy Crowley....

...married Susan Kandidati's brother...

..her name would be Candi Kandidati?

;)

[FredScuttle]

46. What if Candy Crowley married the hoax debunker James Randi

then she'd be Candy Randi

I bet we have a million of 'em

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

74. What if she married David Assman from Fox News?

[sarcasmo]

75. She would be Candy Assman, that is GREAT, LMFAO.

[hopeisaplace]

56. rotflmao!

:rofl: that made laugh!

[The Backlash Cometh]

5. I bet each one leaves something behind in the bathroom,

and the last one mixes it and detonates it. It's called the Blue Bomb, I'm guessing.

[ladjf]

6. There is something phony about this whole thing.

Everyone knows that a large percentage of the air freight packages aren't inspected. The Lockabee explosion was a bomb in the cargo hold that detonated by using an altimeter. Why would hundreds of people get caught up in a cock-a-mamy plot that included multiple components being mixed in a three by three bathroom?

[Virginia Dare]

10. I've said the same thing...

much of the commercial cargo still goes uninspected. It would be much easier to take down several planes this way.

[ladjf]

13. The perps wouldn't even be exposed to arrests, let alone suicide

deaths. Just mail the packages.

Further, if suicide is a must for the terrorist, there are chemicals that could be swallowed that would do the job.

This plot is bogus.

[daleo]

33. I agree, and have mentioned the same objection

It seems very odd that terrorists would go to this much trouble, compared to the other alternative. 911 required "hands on" participation, but a bomb doesn't.

[TahitiNut]

7. Entering an airplane bathroom is more like wearing it than entering it.

Any four adult males who could enter together have a promising career at Barnum & Bailey.

[Virginia Dare]

9. The old lady in row 21 with the incontinence problem...

could foil the whole thing!

[A-Schwarzenegger]

16. Knock knock! What the hell are you guys doing in there!

Terrorist #1: Nothing!
Terrorist #2: We are not terrorists mixing deadly explosives!
Old Lady: Well, hurry up! I got a problem here!
Terrorist #3: You got a problem? (whispers) Do I pour the shampoo into the Gatorade, or the Gatorade into the shampoo?
Terrorist #4: As long as I'm in here, I gotta go.
Terrorist #1: Like hell!
Terrorist #4: It's that airlines chicken.
Old Lady: Stewardess! Airlines hostess!
Hostess: Yes, ma'am?
Old Lady: I think there's terrorists in the bathroom mixing cheap home-made explosives.
Hostess (listens at door): I think it's just a group of homosexual travelers.
Old Lady: Well, be that as it may, I have to get in there, or I'm going to explode myself.
Hostess: Gentlemen! I'm going to have to go ahead and ask you to hurry things along in there, if you don't mind!
(The door opens and the terrorists stumble out coughing and waving the air and return subtly and stealthily to their seats.)
Old Lady: Holy shit!
Hostess: Whew! Somebody was mixing something in there!

[Virginia Dare]

20. LOL....

must have been the chicken!!!

[A-Schwarzenegger]

30. Whew!

[underpants]

37. Terrorist #1 (looks at Terrorist #4)

Do you have the bottle?

Terrorist #4-Oh shit!
( both look backdown the aisle as granny throws the empty gatorade bottle in the trash and wipes her mouth with her sleeve)

CNN BREAKING!! FEAR OLD PEOPLE!!

[A-Schwarzenegger]

42. Old people with Gatorade, shampoo, breast milk & explosives

on their breath.

[Beelzebud]

11. Oh come on now. Your government and media would never lie to you!

Just ask them, they'll tell you! They are as honest as you can get!

[warrens]

12. I think the concept is to leave the chemicals in the bathroom, hidden

And the next guy goes in and does the mixing. They aren't all going to crowd in there. It's not possible anyway. They just needed two people to smuggle the chemicals on board.

[proud2BlibKansan]

24. That's not what the graphic on TV showed

They were all together.

[warrens]

27. Maybe they were kidding. Or really, really stupid.

There's barely room for one in there.

[proud2BlibKansan]

29. The graphic on TV showed them making the bomb in a little area

behind the bathroom. Is there such an area on any plane? An area that will hold 4 grown men and give them enough room to make a bomb??? :eyes:

[Virginia Dare]

31. This is so typical of the network "news"...

they just throw any old bullshit up there, and pretend it's information. This is how the vast majority of Americans stay "informed". It's no wonder this country is so fucked up.

[Kajsa]

14. There's more than one bathroom on the plane.

I don't think they would all "go" at the same time.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

17. Well, that's exactly what the animated graphics showed.

I don't think they would just slap a bunch of unauthorized
animated graphics up on the TV set news station.

[Hugin]

18. Cripes! This scenario sounds like some double dates I've been on...

except they were women trotting off to the powder-room with their lipstick and hair gel.

Sick... This world is ill.

[boston bean]

19. See my post yesterday, I almost got laughed off the site!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=1879157&mesg_id=1879157

[Virginia Dare]

21. They've grounded airplanes...

for less suspicious crap than this. Whatever, let's just shackle everybody to their seats, and have U.S. Marshalls escort them to the bathroom, just like in kindergarten, that ought to take care of the problem. :crazy:

[proud2BlibKansan]

22. I saw that same report and wondered the same thing

It showed them pow wowing right behind the bathroom. I have flown quite a few times and I have never seen a plane that had a little pow wow area anywhere, much less near the bathroom.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

25. I wasn't dreaming after all!

Pow wow area!
Having a chemistry class outside the bathroom is even
more of a genius plan than having it inside. I wonder
if we'll ever see that graphic again. I hope the terrorists
didnt see it in case they hadnt thought of those specifics
already.

[spanone]

23. I can hardly get my ass in there alone....4 guys????

[Skittles]

26. thank you

I am 5'4", average weight, and when I am using the airplane facilities I wonder how men maneuver in there, or the plus-sized folk. Yes INDEED.

[Initech]

28. Sounds like the kind of plan Pinky & The Brain would come up with

There's no way ONE person could fit in those damn airplane bathrooms, let alone four. What brand of crack is the MSM smoking and where might I obtain some?

[SoCalDem]

61. This Pinky?

[daleo]

32. They would have to be four very small guys

Miniature, really.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

35. It seems like very thin rather than very small.

If they were as thick as regular people, it wouldn't matter
how small they were. They would be just as crowded in there,
but just lower to the ground.

[daleo]

50. They could be short and fat

And stand on each other's shoulders, as long as nobody exceeds two feet in height.

In fact, I expect a terror alert to that effect shortly.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

55. Why nobody over two feet? How high is the bathroom ceiling?

[daleo]

62. I was ballparking it as 8 feet (house size)

Granted, that's probably a little high for an airplane. A foot and a half would be better.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

69. Oh, so the four would be standing on one another's shoulders.

I pictured two pairs of two, or two four-footers.
Now I see. One eight-footer. That makes more sense.

[Rex]

34. So they showed wannabe terrorists all over the planet how to do it

with graphics and instructions? Guess the M$M is really desperate for another 911 type ratings blitz. They just love giving away how to do evil things.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

36. I hope no terrorists are reading this thread,

in case they didnt see the graphics.

[underpants]

38. I asked about this earlier

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=1884836&mesg_id=1884836

[ikri]

39. At a guess

I'd assume the plan would have been to have the individuals with the ingredients for a bomb enter the bathroom one after another.

Person #1 enters bathroom with ingredient 1
Person #1 leaves & returns to their seat
Person #2 enters bathroom with ingredient 2
Person #2 leaves & returns to their seat
etc.

Only the final person entering the bathroom needs to mix the ingredients for their bomb, the other(s) can be watching the in-flight movie.

If there are "entertaining" graphics displaying 4 people crammed in the bathroom together then it simply smacks of cheap and sloppy reporting.

Never let the facts get in the way of a good story, or in this case an entertaining and flashy graphic.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

41. I dont like being in a regular size pubic restroom

with three other guys just to take a piss,
much less mixing up a bomb with them in a plane
restroom. I'm thinking they probably practiced
in a broom closet.

[titoresque]

40. Perhaps a meth lab? A mile high orgy? n/t

[Mabus]

43. I think you were watching an old McGyver episode

No one else could pull it off like McGyver. Hell, he could do it himself with things he found in the bathroom. The only obstacle would be if they removed the hand sanitizer, the blue liquid toilet water and the sanitary napkins from the airplane bathrooms. But even then, I think he could pull it off.

[McCamy Taylor]

44. This sounds like the set up of a joke.

[Ouabache]

68. I recall a Marx Bros movie where all of them cram into 1 berth

on a transatlantic ocean liner. THEN THE MAID COMES IN, THEN THEY ORDER DRINKS AND A WAITER COMES IN with those, then a guy comes in with a vaccuum cleaner -- it gets pretty nutty. On edit: I think they order some extra pillows too, and a woman shows up with a bunch and they are having trouble fitting those in...

[A-Schwarzenegger]

73. Your sig sounds more like Groucho than Albert.

[LSK]

45. and 24 guys who had no chemicals and no tickets were arrested

[underpants]

49. Come on

is that in LBN?

[LSK]

52. Ted Stevens sent me an internet

It took forever to get through those tubes thou.

[AnneD]

47. No need for all that nonsense....

all that is needed to take out a plane is...Uncle Leonard,a bran muffin, a news paper section, and a match after he had his 'morning constitutional'.

Who needs terrorist.....

[A-Schwarzenegger]

48. Uncle Leonard! You had an Uncle Leonard, too?

Did he live in the woods? Boom!

[AnneD]

51. Actually, he was a farmer in OK

in the foothills of the Ozarks. He met his maker the same way Elvis did. A tragic yet poetically just demise (he was not well liked by many in the family...but not because of his RR antics). I am glad I didn't go to the funeral, I would not have been able to keep a straight face.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

53. We just buried our Unc Leo in the woods outside his cabin.

It's what he wanted.

[AnneD]

54. Yeah....

I don't think we were meant to live in big cities. Glad you honoured his request.

[AZBlue]

57. What do you expect from the graphics dude at the local network??

[A-Schwarzenegger]

58. It was either CNN or MSNBC.

What do I expect from the graphics dude at CNN or MSNBC?
They were very attractive graphics. I squinted really hard
& it looked like the actual terrorists concocting their
deadly sauce right before my eyes.

[ReadTomPaine]

59. I miss Oscar.

He was mentioned recently :

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=1871714&mesg_id=1878272

[A-Schwarzenegger]

71. He's at a theremin seminar.

[Pobeka]

72. :-)

:spray:

[SoCalDem]

60. I have never seen an airline bathroom that would fit more than one

person.. I remember taking my son to the bathroom once and I darned near had to sit in the sink to be in there with him :)

[readmoreoften]

63. Four guys in an airplane bathroom mixing chemicals!!!!! AH HA HA HA HA!

Yeah. Four children could not hit in an airplane bathroom.

[readmoreoften]

64. HONEY I SHRUNK THE TERRORISTS!

Is Rick Moranis at it again????

[Warren DeMontague]

66. Dammit!

You beat me to it. Feh. I salute you. :patriot:

[Warren DeMontague]

65. Four NORMAL SIZED men, certainly.

But what if, in addition to dangerous explosives, they had also brought along special chemicals to shrink themselves down to, say, 13 inches tall?

Betcha didn't think of that, smart guy.

[Bluebear]

67. ..A rabbi, a priest, an imam and a duck. The rabbi says "How do I fit ?"..

...the priest says....


Oh, sorry, I thought it was a joke :)

[A-Schwarzenegger]

70. It makes sense that they would be disguised.

[POAS]

76. I thought this was the opening line

of a joke. Ya know like, A guy walks into a bar, etc.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

77. It's too soon after the terror scare to joke.

What's so funny about peace, love and Islamic Fascism?
