Muslims cause problems on flight from Atlanta to Houston


This needs to go around, over and over. We need to learn !!!


Read entire story, we should be very, very concerned about this!

And to think that Fox News was the only channel that reported this. They may be "politically incorrect", but at least they had the courage to report it.
 


In my opinion, the Muslims are all getting very brave now. Read Tedd Petruna's story below. Can you imagine, our own news media now are so politically correct that they are afraid to report that these were all Muslims?


Unbelievable. Thank God for people like Tedd Petruna.
 


Tedd Petruna is a diver at the NBL (Neutral Buoyancy Lab) facility at NASA Houston .. Tedd happened to be on the AirTran Flight 297, from Atlanta to Houston . Here's his report :


“One week ago, I went to Ohio on business and to see my father. On Tuesday, the 17th, I returned home. If you read the papers the 18th you may have seen a blurb about where an Air Tran flight was canceled from Atlanta to Houston due to a man who refused to get off of his cell phone before take- off.. The story was only on Fox News. That was NOT what really happened.
 


I was seated in 1st class coming home. Eleven Muslim men got on the plane in full Muslim attire. Two of them sat in 1st class and the rest seated themselves throughout the plane, in coach class, all the way to the back. As the plane taxied out to the runway, the stewardesses gave the safety spiel that we are all so familiar with.


At that time, one of the men in 1st class, got on his cell and called one of his companions back in coach. He proceeded to talk on the phone in Arabic very loudly and very, very aggressively. This activity took the 1st stewardess out of action for she repeatedly told the man that cell phones were not permitted at that time. He ignored her as if she were not there. The man, who answered the phone back in the coach section, did the same and this took out the 2nd stewardess. Further back in the plane, at the same time, two younger Muslims, one in the back on the aisle, and one sitting in front of him by the window, began to show footage of a porno video they had taped the night before. They were very loud about it.
 


The 3rd stewardess informed the two men that they were not to have any electronic devices on at this time. One of the men said "shut up infidel dog!"
 


The stewardess attempted to take the camcorder and the Muslim began to scream in her face in Arabic. At that exact moment, all eleven of the men got up and started to walk throughout the cabin. I guess that because of the noise, the flight crew must have decided that there was something amiss and changed the plane's directions to head back to the terminal.


The commotion and noise was reaching a feverish pitch, and at this point I had had enough! I got up and started towards the back of 1st class when I heard a voice behind me from another Texan twice my size, say, "I got your back." Then I grabbed the man, who had been on the cell phone, by the arm and said, "You WILL sit down in your seat or you WILL be thrown from this plane!" As I "led" him around me to take his seat, the fellow Texan grabbed him by the back of his neck and his waist and headed him back to his seat. I then grabbed the 2nd man and said, "You WILL do the same!"
 


He protested loudly, but my adrenaline was flowing now and he was going to go also. Just as I escorted him forward, the plane stopped, the doors opened and three TSA agents and four police officers entered the cabin. Myself and my new Texas friend were told to cease and desist for they had the situation under control.
 


I was quite happy to oblige, actually. There was still some sort of commotion in the back, but within moments, all eleven Muslim men were escorted off the plane. The TSA agents then had their luggage unloaded. We talked about the occurrence and were in disbelief that it had happened.
 


Then suddenly, the door opened again and in walked all eleven Muslim men! Stone faced, eyes front and robotic, (the only way I can describe it) and they were reseated. The stewardess from the back had been in tears and when she saw the men, she was having NONE of it! Since I was up front, I heard and saw the whole ordeal. She told the TSA agents that there was NO WAY she was staying on the plane with the Muslim men. The agent told her that they had searched the men and were going through their luggage with a fine tooth comb. However, nothing had been found and that the men were allowed to proceed on to Houston .
 


The captain and co-captain came out of the cockpit and told the agent, "We and our crew will not fly this plane!" After a word or two, the entire crew, luggage in tow, left the plane. Five minutes later, the cabin door opened again and a whole new crew walked on. Again, this was where I had had enough! I got up and asked the TSA agent,” What the hell is going on?
 


I was told to take my seat. The airlines and TSA were sorry for the delay and we would be home shortly. I said, "I'm getting off this plane". The stewardess sternly told me that she could not allow me to get off. Now I'm really mad! I said, "I am a grown man who bought this ticket, whose time is mine, with a family at home, and I am going through that door, or I'm going through that door with you under my arm, but I AM going through that door!"
 


And then I heard a voice behind me say, "So am I!" Then everyone behind us started to get up and say the same thing. Within two minutes, I was walking off that plane where I was met by more TSA agents, who asked me to write a statement about the incident. I had five hours to kill at this point waiting for the next flight to Houston , so why the hell not give them my statement. Due to the amount of people who got off that flight, it was canceled. I was supposed to be in Houston at 6 PM, but I finally got there at 12:30 AM. If you don't believe this, look up the date and then Flight 297 from Atlanta to Houston .
 


If this wasn't a terrorism dry run, I don't know what is. The terrorists wanted to see how TSA would handle it, how the crew would handle it, and how the passengers would handle it. I'm telling this to you because I want you to know. The threat IS real. I saw it with my own eyes."
 


Tedd Petruna
 


May I request that you keep this going until this incident reaches the email of all POLITICIANS and the news media!


PEOPLE THAT DELETE THIS TYPE OF EMAIL, REFUSE TO PASS IT ON, OR SIMPLY DON'T CARE ARE ONE OF THE REASONS THAT PEOPLE THAT DO CARE CAN'T MAKE ANY HEADWAY... THE THREATS ARE REAL.

This is not the only place these dry runs are happening. Boats on the West Coast coming in at night landing on the beaches and the people scattering, could be from any country. Again is this another avenue of entry to see how the NSA handles the situation. Time will tell.

 

AMERICA THE WAKE UP CALL IS AT HAND.

Thanks MIT for sharing this :)

 

Perhaps this link will add some clarity to the details of this event.

 

http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/flight297.asp

 

Here is a snippet from the above link:

 

According to a Marietta Daily Journal reporter and Houston station

KHOU-TV, the e-mail's author acknowledged he had embellished his account but maintained that he was in fact on the flight:
He admits that his description of the men's attire was wrong, [that] he didn't personally see anyone watching pornographic videos, [and that] he'd taken artistic license with a couple points, never imagining [his account] would travel beyond his circle of friends.

AirTran [posted] the assertion that the disputed e-mail writer from Texas, according to "legally binding" flight manifests, wasn't on the plane.

The e-mail writer [said] AirTran is lying and he has his boarding pass.
Another Flight 297 passenger interviewed by Atlanta television station WSB stated that although he did see a number of Middle Eastern passengers on the flight walking around, interacting with each other, and being uncooperative with the flight crew, and although he felt AirTran mishandled the incident (primarily by not communicating information about the situation to other passengers), none of the group in question was dancing, singing, taking pictures, or ended up being manhandled off the airplane by other passengers. He also stated that he talked to the pilots on the replacement crew and they reported they felt perfectly safe in flying the plane, and that he thought the claim that the group of Middle Easterners were potential hijackers or terrorists to be "far-fetched."

(Contrary to common belief, the fact that a replacement crew was used to complete the flight is not an indicator that the original flight crew refused to continue or felt the situation to be unsafe. When flights experience substantial delays in taking off, as Flight 297 did that day, that situation sometimes requires that the original crew be replaced because otherwise they would "time out" and exceed FAA limitations on maximum hours per working period.)

......Just too bad....BUT, be wary of ALL looking abnormalities these days!

Perhaps OCD about it....but, at the grocery store, I'll head to the next aisle

if a burka clad gal is there. Hate to be blown up by canned goods shrapnel...... :ph34r:

MIT: snuck onto the work computer and read this, I will forward this to folks when I get home this evening. Thank you for getting this to my attention. I hear the spin already, the head stuck in the sand media we now have probably didn't want to offend anyone that is not Christian or republican. Definitely a dry run. Atta boy to you and your Texan friend, and the entire bunch of passengers for standing your ground and doing what you did. I pray I will have the courage to do what you did before it's to late.

Wipeout Radical Racesist Islam. Racism does not belong in the 21st century from anyone.

In my ignorance ( which is huge) I'd suppose that if they'd really want ( let's hope NOT, of course) do something bad..They'd try to mingle  in the crowd as much as possible...No burka,  no nothing which could draw att'n.....JMVHO....

fact is as a professional pilot myself for 15 years, I have witnessed what I also believe to be "dry run" exercises...further as former AF officer I am aware of "chatter" about more terrorist "plane" activity since 9-11...I strongly encourage everyone to google Victor Mordecai...whose book warned about a 9-11 scenario YEARS before it happened...(he was a guest at my church) a former Mossad agent he has tremendous insight to these things ...

BTW in my case myself and an old lady (had to be pushing 90 if she was a day and terrified by what happened) were subject to extra search while a full burka lady with a back pack whose nervousness had everyone on point was scarcely looked at...the little old lady kept asking what she did wrong....

Embellishment and artistic license admitted by the original author

is not a source to be taken as credible, period. If one has to add

to the details of an event such as this, then the goal of the author

is to cause paranoia. I guess it is ok for him to add to the details

to his friends? I think they should think twice before accepting

future accounts from him perhaps.

 

Certainly we should be aware of our surroundings at all times, but

purposely causing paranoia due to 'embellishment' to me is in itself

sad and is also called lying.

MIT... I dunno what to say other than I feel bad for you...

some discernment may have helped before you brought this in... just sayin

 

I know your intentions were good... however the intentions of the writer of this email were not...

 

He wanted to raise more fear and hatred towards Muslims... His agenda is very clear...

 

That does absolutely NO GOOD to help in what is going on.

 

 

This is from the airlines...

 

AirTran 297- Anatomy of an Urban Legend Posted on 04 December 2009

BREAKING NEWS UPDATE

After conducting additional research into this situation, we have verified, according to flight manifests (legally binding documents) that the individual that allegedly created a first-hand account of events on-board AirTran Airways flight 297, a Theodore Petruna, was never actually on-board the flight.

 

According to all available records, Mr. Petruna’s trip originated from Akron-Canton, Ohio (CAK) on AirTran flight 205. This flight arrived at the gate in Atlanta at 5:06 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Flight 297, the flight which Mr. Petruna allegedly wrote a first-hand account of, originally pushed back from its gate in Atlanta at 4:40 p.m. EST, a full 26 minutes before flight 205 arrived at the gate in Atlanta making this flight connection impossible.

 

While Mr. Petruna was originally scheduled to begin his journey on AirTran flight 202 from CAK and connect to flight 297 in Atlanta he did not make that original flight.

 

On November 17, 2009, AirTran flight 297 was scheduled to travel from Atlanta to Houston-Hobby. During taxi a passenger was non-compliant with Crew Members, using a cell phone and taking pictures. The flight taxied back to the gate and the passenger, who did not speak English, and his companion acting as his interpreter were asked to de-plane. They were met by customer service personnel and TSA.

 

The passengers were allowed to re-board and continued on the flight after speaking with AirTran and TSA representatives. The flight was delayed by more than two hours.

 

Since the flight and initial media reports, several blogs and Internet sites have recounted the incident as portrayed by a passenger originally scheduled for the flight. Below is that passenger’s account (unedited in any way including spelling and grammar), as reported on several blogs. Highlighted between the passenger’s account, are the factually accurate circumstances surrounding this incident.

 

We bring this to your attention in order to dispel myths that are beginning to make the rounds in chat rooms, blogs and conspiracy theorists’ Web sites.

—————————————————————————————————

I was in first class coming home. Eleven muslim men got on the plane in full attire. Two sat in first class and the rest peppered themselves throughout the plane all the way to the back.

 

The full party was 13 individuals. Their religion is not known to anyone at AirTran. The individuals in this party proceeded to their seats throughout the aircraft and were dressed like any other passenger.

 

As the plane taxied to the runway, the stewardesses gave the safety spiel we are all so familiar with. At that time, one of the men got on his cell and called one of his companions in the back and proceeded to talk on the phone in Arabic very loudly and very aggressively. This took the first stewardess out of the picture for she repeatedly told the man that cell phones were not permitted at the time. He ignored her as if she wasn’t there.

 

There have been no reports of any individual phoning any other individual on the flight. Furthermore it would be extremely difficult to know who someone is calling. If they are calling someone in the back of the plane, the person listening in on this conversation would not be able to hear the person in the back of the plane nor know where the call was going to.

 

The second man who answered the phone did the same and this took out the second stewardess. In the back of the plane at this time, 2 younger muslims, one in the back aisle, and one in front of him, window, began to show footage of a porno they had taped the night before, and were very loud about it.

 

It would be impossible to know what people were allegedly watching or whom they were speaking with in the back of the plane from Business Class. Furthermore, how would anyone know what was on this alleged videotape or when it was made?

 

Now, they are only permitted to do this prior to Jihad. If a Muslim man goes into a strip club, he has to view the woman via mirror with his back to her (don’t ask me, I don’t make the rules, but I’ve studied). The third stewardess informed them that they were not to have electronic devices on at this time. To which one of the men said, “Shut up, infidel dog!” She went to take the camcorder and he began to scream in her face in Arabic.

 

While the flight attendants did ask an individual to discontinue the use of portable electronic devices, there are no reports of screaming or shouting insults to our Crew Members.

 

At that exact moment, all 11 of them got up and started to walk to the cabin. This is where I had had enough! I got up and started to the back where I heard a voice behind me from another Texan twice my size say, “I got your back.” I grabbed the man who had been on the phone by the arm and said, “you WILL go sit down or you Will be thrown from this plane!”

 

There are no reports of any passenger standing up in a threatening manner. At NO time was there any physical altercation between passengers. Upon returning to the gate, the individual on the phone and his party were asked to de-plane and did so in full compliance of Crew Members’ instructions.

As I led him around me to take his seat, the fellow Texan grabbed him by the back of his neck and his waist and headed out with him. I then grabbed the second man and said, “You WILL do the same!”

 

This is simply untrue. At NO time was there any physical altercation between passengers.

 

He protested but adrenaline was flowing now and he was going to go. As I escorted him forward, the plane doors open and 3 TSA agents and 4 police officers entered.

 

At no time did any law enforcement or Transportation Security Administration (TSA) official enter the aircraft. Two TSA inspectors came to the gate to assess the situation and spoke with the individual involved and his party.

 

Me and my new Texan friend were told to cease and desist for they had this under control. I was happy to oblige actually. There was some commotion in the back, but within moments, all 11 were escorted off the plane. They then unloaded their luggage.

 

The entire party complied fully with Crew Members’ instructions to exit the aircraft in order to ascertain the situation. Their bags were not removed at any time.

 

We talked about the occurrence and were in disbelief that it had happened, when suddenly, the door opened again and on walked all eleven!!

 

After determining none of the individuals posed a security threat to the aircraft, the party was allowed to re-plane.

 

Stone faced, eyes front and robotic (the only way I can describe it). The stewardess from the back had been in tears and when she saw this, she was having NONE of it! Being that I was up front, I heard and saw the whole ordeal. She told the TSA agent there was NO WAY she was staying on the plane with these men.

 

There was no TSA or law enforcement agent ever on the plane.

 

The agent told her they had searched them and were going to go through their luggage with a fine tooth comb and that they were allowed to proceed to Houston.

 

There was no TSA agent on the plane and there was no additional screening of anyone’s bags.

 

The captain and co-captain came out and told the agent, “we and our crew will not fly this plane!” After a word or two, the entire crew, luggage in tow, left the plane. Five minutes later, the cabin door opened again and a whole new crew walked on.

 

The crews were swapped. This is a common occurrence in the aviation industry for any number of reasons. If a Crew Member cannot or will not continue a flight, we must replace that Crew Member.

 

Again, this is where I had had enough!! I got up and asked, “What the hell is going on?” I was told to take my seat. They were sorry for the delay and I would be home shortly. I said, “I’m getting off this plane.” The stewardess sternly told me that she could not allow me to get off.

 

Now I’m mad! I said, “I am a grown man who bought this ticket, who’s time is mine with a family at home and I am going through that door, or I’m going through that door with you under my arm!! But I am going through that door!!”

 

At no time did any AirTran Crew Member refuse to allow a passenger off the plane. Had any passenger threatened a Crew Member, we would have taken appropriate action, including contacting law enforcement.

 

And I heard a voice behind me say, “So am I.” Then everyone behind us started to get up and say the same. Within 2 minutes, I was walking off that plane where I was met with more agents who asked me to write a statement. I had 5 hours to kill at this point so why the hell not. Due to the amount of people who got off that flight, it was cancelled. I was supposed to be in Houston at 6pm. I got here at 12:30am.

 

After offering all passengers the opportunity to de-plane the aircraft, 12 individuals decided to not take this flight and opted to be re-booked. AirTran officials did not request any passenger to complete an official statement.

The flight was not cancelled and did continue to Houston-Hobby

 

Look up the date. Flight 297, Atlanta to Houston.

 

The flight was not cancelled and did continue to Houston-Hobby

 

If this wasn’t a dry run, I don’t know what one is. They wanted to see how TSA would handle it, how the crew would handle it, and how the passengers would handle it.

I’m telling this to you because I want you to know. The threat is real. I saw it with my own eyes.

 

The flight was not cancelled and did continue to Houston-Hobby.

The TSA determined this was a customer service issue. The party continued on the flight to Houston-Hobby that evening without further incident.

 

 

......Just too bad....BUT, be wary of ALL looking abnormalities these days!

Perhaps OCD about it....but, at the grocery store, I'll head to the next aisle

if a burka clad gal is there. Hate to be blown up by canned goods shrapnel...... :ph34r:

 

Chess... next time why don't you just try a smile and a 'Hello".... that's what I do and they smile back. :)

 

 

Gonna go out now and climb some pretty red rocks... get away from all this crap-n-nonsense.

 

Have A Great Day All. :)

Yea, I knew that I had read this story before, but it was a long time ago.

Did some checking and the farthest back I got was Dec 03, 2009.

Maybe someone else can find the original date of the incident.

This email was sent to me by someone who does a lot of research and is on top of things.  So I didn't bother to check anything further on.  I'd wouldn't of known how to anyway.   The thing is that lately I've been reading a lot of upsetting information on whats going on here in the USA and how information is being kept from us so this story didn't sound far fetched to me at all.
