No, I Can Totally See It

'Maybe he was looking for the bathroom': Family defends Yemeni passenger who stormed cockpit, shouting 'Allahu Akbar' as plane came in to land at San Francisco.

We’ve all been there after a long flight, the congealed airline chicken gurgling away inside,  you need the loo just before you have to belt up ready for landing. You fight your way down the aisle past all the people suddenly deciding to check their carry-on is ready for instant departure, plus the stews trying to sell you some final scratch cards. Only to find the toilets occupied by some stupid bint spending 10 minutes making sure her make-up is perfect for customs. Who hasn’t wanted to scream and bang on the door.

“Jesus Fucking Christ just open up will you, are you going to be all day.”

Add in the fact that.

The 28-year-old, who was heard yelling 'Allahu Akbar', had also only been on three planes in his life and would have been unfamiliar with the layout*

I am also waiting to hear that he ‘got his medication mixed up’ ‘he ‘felt threatened’ he was ‘scared’ he was ‘confused’ [Oh done that one], he was ‘indoctrinated by bad men’

Always remember that how ever this turns out, it will have nothing what so ever to do with the ROP

.*This also happens to me in unfamiliar places and layouts, I was once asked to leave The Albert Hall  after running around, banging on doors and screaming “Jesus Fucking Christ will someone show me the way to the toilet.”
I will always be grateful to James Taylor for pausing during ‘Sweet Baby James’ to offer directions. .

  1. When I storm the loo, I always shout Allo Allo Akbar or whatever it is. Adds zest to the operation.

    They're really all the same inside. And they have signs pointing the way.

  3. Was screaming and banging on the cockpit door the best he could manage? Rather half-arsed terrorism if you ask me. There are plenty of easily-accessible weapons on any flight, as the man who very nearly killed me with his baby kit bag when dropping it out of the overhead locker proved the other week...

  4. Hijacking 101? Someone wasn't paying attention. You need to storm the cockpit with your nail trimmer offering them a manicure.
