> 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
