> >> I, Gene Hackemack, received this email from my good friend Tedd Petruna.
> >> He is, a diver at the NBL (Neutral Buoyancy Lab) facility at NASA
> >> Houston. I used to work with Tedd who happened to be on the AirTran
> >> Flight 297, from Atlanta to Houston .

> >> 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.
> >> Now, Muslim men are only permitted to view porno women 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 Muslims.)
> >> The 3rd stewardess informed the two men that they were not to have
> >> 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)
> >> 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,
> >> 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!"
> >> 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 one 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
> >> I suggest you keep this going until this incident reaches the email of
> >> all POLITICIANS and the news media!
