Post #8,749 by wharris2 9/12/01 9:34:59 PM Reply	Sad situation Reports are of course contradictory, but I think terrorists claimiing they have a bomb and slashing throats of stewardesses are going to be treated quite differently from now on. I damn well hope so. That no man should scruple, or hesitate a moment to use arms in defense of so valuable a blessing [as freedom], on which all the good and evil of life depends, is clearly my opinion; yet arms ... should be the last resource. - George Washington

The pilot had the mic on and was heard to say "get out of here", then some scuffling and then once again, "get out of here". Then an English voice with an Arabic? accent came on and said there was a bomb on board and they were returning to Newark. I suspect we'll have more details very soon.

Yeah, would be nice if "despair" wasn't such an appropriate word choice.
