We need to learn !!!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Read \u00a0entire story, we should be very, very concerned about \u00a0this!\u00a0And \u00a0to think that Fox News was the only channel that reported this. They may \u00a0be &#8220;politically incorrect&#8221;, but at least they had the courage to report it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In \u00a0my opinion, the Muslims are all getting very brave now. Read Tedd Petruna&#8217;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?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Unbelievable. \u00a0Thank God for people like Tedd Petruna.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tedd \u00a0Petruna is a diver at the NBL (Neutral Buoyancy Lab) facility at NASA \u00a0Houston .. Tedd happened to be on the AirTran Flight 297, from Atlanta to Houston . Here&#8217;s his report :<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;One \u00a0week ago, I went to Ohio on business and to see my father.\u00a0<span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_44226087\"><span class=\"aQJ\">On Tuesday<\/span><\/span>, \u00a0the 17th, I returned home. If you read the papers the 18th you may have \u00a0seen a blurb about where an Air Tran flight was canceled from Atlanta to \u00a0Houston 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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I \u00a0was seated in 1st class coming home. Eleven Muslim men got on the plane \u00a0in full Muslim attire. Two of them sat in 1st class and the rest seated \u00a0themselves 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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At \u00a0that time, one of the men in 1st class, got on his cell and called one \u00a0of his companions back in coach. He proceeded to talk on the phone in Arabic very loudly and very, very aggressively. This activity took the \u00a01st stewardess out of action for she repeatedly told the man that cell \u00a0phones were not permitted at that time. He ignored her as if she were \u00a0not there. The man, who answered the phone back in the coach section, \u00a0did the same and this took out the 2nd stewardess. Further back in the \u00a0plane, at the same time, two younger Muslims, one in the back on the \u00a0aisle, and one sitting in front of him by the window, began to show \u00a0footage of a porno video they had taped the night before. They were very \u00a0loud about it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The \u00a03rd stewardess informed the two men that they were not to have any \u00a0electronic devices on at this time. One of the men said &#8220;shut up infidel \u00a0dog!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The \u00a0stewardess attempted to take the camcorder and the Muslim began to \u00a0scream 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 \u00a0because of the noise, the flight crew must have decided that there was \u00a0something amiss and changed the plane&#8217;s directions to head back to the \u00a0terminal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The \u00a0commotion and noise was reaching a feverish pitch, and at this point I \u00a0had had enough! I got up and started towards the back of 1st class when \u00a0I heard a voice behind me from another Texan twice my size, say, &#8220;I got \u00a0your back.&#8221; Then I grabbed the man, who had been on the cell phone, by the arm and said, &#8220;You WILL sit down in your seat or you WILL be thrown from this plane!&#8221; As I &#8220;led&#8221; him around me to take his seat, the fellow Texan grabbed him by the back of his neck and his waist and headed him \u00a0back to his seat. I then grabbed the 2nd man and said, &#8220;You WILL do the \u00a0same!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He \u00a0protested loudly, but my adrenaline was flowing now and he was going to \u00a0go also. Just as I escorted him forward, the plane stopped, the doors \u00a0opened and three TSA agents and four police officers entered the cabin. \u00a0Myself and my new Texas friend were told to cease and desist for they \u00a0had the situation under control.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I \u00a0was 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. \u00a0We talked about the occurrence and were in disbelief that it had \u00a0happened.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Then \u00a0suddenly, the door opened again and in walked all eleven Muslim men! \u00a0Stone 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 \u00a0and when she saw the men, she was having NONE of it! Since I was up \u00a0front, I heard and saw the whole ordeal. She told the TSA agents that \u00a0there was NO WAY she was staying on the plane with the Muslim men. The \u00a0agent told her that they had searched the men and were going through \u00a0their luggage with a fine tooth comb. However, nothing had been found \u00a0and that the men were allowed to proceed on to Houston.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The \u00a0captain and co-captain came out of the cockpit and told the agent, &#8220;We \u00a0and our crew will not fly this plane!&#8221; After a word or two, the entire \u00a0crew, luggage in tow, left the plane. Five minutes later, the cabin door \u00a0opened again and a whole new crew walked on. Again, this was where I had \u00a0had enough! I got up and asked the TSA agent,&#8221; What the hell is going on?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I \u00a0was told to take my seat. The airlines and TSA were sorry for the delay \u00a0and we would be home shortly. I said, &#8220;I&#8217;m getting off this plane&#8221;. The \u00a0stewardess sternly told me that she could not allow me to get off. Now I&#8217;m really mad! I said, &#8220;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, \u00a0or I&#8217;m going through that door with you under my arm, but I AM going \u00a0through that door!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And \u00a0then I heard a voice behind me say, &#8220;So am I!&#8221; Then everyone behind us \u00a0started to get up and say the same thing. Within two minutes, I was \u00a0walking 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 \u00a0this point waiting for the next flight to Houston , so why the hell not \u00a0give them my statement. Due to the amount of people who got off that \u00a0flight, it was canceled. I was supposed to be in Houston at\u00a0<span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_44226088\"><span class=\"aQJ\">6 PM<\/span><\/span>, but I \u00a0finally got there at\u00a0<span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_44226089\"><span class=\"aQJ\">12:30 AM<\/span><\/span>. If you don&#8217;t believe this, look up the \u00a0date and then Flight 297 from Atlanta to Houston.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If \u00a0this wasn&#8217;t a terrorism dry run, I don&#8217;t know what is. The terrorists \u00a0wanted to see how TSA would handle it, how the crew would handle it, and \u00a0how the passengers would handle it. I&#8217;m telling this to you because I \u00a0want you to know. The threat IS real. I saw it with my own \u00a0eyes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tedd \u00a0Petruna<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">May \u00a0I request that you keep this going until this incident reaches the email \u00a0of all POLITICIANS and the news media!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This \u00a0needs to go around, over and over.
