Man Shot in Miami Airport

Eriadd · Dec 07, 2005, 12:49 PM

To those of you with access to TVs, turn them to MSNBC. Apparently a man was shot by U.S. Marshalls on a plane in Miami for threatening to have a bomb and running towards the pilot's cabin, according to sources on the scene. There are also people saying that the man was bipolar and not on his medication.

Will update as info is made available.

Any thoughts on what could have happened?

It sucks...no cable TV. If it isn't much trouble, Eriadd-garu, can you provide me with a link from which I can read a little more about it?

I appreciate it. But, that does sound like a major.....thing.

Here's a news link, MSNBC's website has fast response, this happened only an hour or two ago.

EDIT: As they keep on repeating in the news, ever since the Federal Air Marshal program was adapted to deal with plane bomb threats (shortly after 9/11), the air marshals are supposed to shoot anyone who says they have explosives on a plane. This is the first fatality since 9/11 that has been related to an airplane bomb threat.

Thank you...I read through it. So, he didn't have a bomb in his bag...and he has bipolor disorder. I am sorry for him, but U.S. Marshals had no other choice...since he was trying to pull out something from his bag. They had no way of knowing it...but still very sad. His wife should have acted early or something to prevent this event from taking place. Others safety is crucial at that time, I guess. Not sure if they made a hasty decision.....

Whew....what a story eh!
Poor guy...But like Kedar said...the marshals had no choice....What would you do in a situation as such?

Eriadd · Dec 07, 2005, 01:18 PM

Exactly, they are told to shoot first, for the sake of passengers on the plane.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Precisally......But him dying is sad tho...he was Bipolar....which makes it even More sad..........

Eriadd · Dec 07, 2005, 01:27 PM

Well, it did just happen about 2 and a half hours ago. It's a pretty important thing.

Not so sure if shooting his legs and hands or some other place in his body, which will not result in death, would have worked or not. Then again, if he really had a bomb...not shooting would have led to the death of so many innocent passengers.

*JustLoseIt* · Dec 07, 2005, 01:32 PM

Thats the thing Kedar......Proceedar calls them to Shoot and kill BECAUSE they are never sure if he has a bomb.....So I mean yea...Every1 wants to save his life now that we found out what was the ACTUAL case...But If he has a free hand or he activates the bomb..EVEN AFTER being shot in the leg or elsewhere....He still has that last chance to kill innocent people.....

Even tho he didn't have a bomb anyway...But ya know...they didn't know...so..yea....lol....Now I'm mumbling so I'll shut up now...

Till the next post anyway.......
