A Note to Our Readers

Dear Readers,
We make a special effort here to record the facts as we receive them. At times, there may be error but we do try to use our best judgement at the time of posting, and will be glad to amend any details which are proved incorrect. Furthermore, even though we do not here discuss the human cost, we realize that losing anyone in an air accident is insurmountable tragedy to individuals, families and communities. We do extend our heartfelt sympathy to those whose loss we record here. "...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for..." us all.

Feds Debark Unruly Passenger

What: Southwest Airlines Flight 1402 en route from Phoenix to Detroit
Where: Denver International Airport
When: after 2 p.m Saturday
Who: undisclosed woman
Why: While on board, the woman "became unruly and combative" leading up to a physical confrontation. She was escorted from the plane into federal custody as it is a felony to disrupt a commercial flight

George’s Point of View


We already put US Marshalls on plane to keep the bad guys in their seats and so they don’t try anything. With all the recent misbehavior on planes, maybe we're looking at the wrong profession. Do we need on board referees? A corner for time out? Nuns with rulers?
