This is what really happened:

The guy probably got sick. He ran.

They asked, "Why are you getting off the plane?"

He says, "I'm gonna vomit!" They hear, "I'm gonna bomb it!"

They yell, "STOP!"

He says, "I gotta go!" They hear, "It's gonna blow!"

Just kidding. Sorry. The subject is so heavy I had to lighten up a bit.

Personally, if someone demands money with his hand under his coat and starts to whip his arm out, I'm not waiting to find out if it's really a gun or just a stick. I'm going to act. Run, hide, shoot, or comply? Whether he tells me he has a gun or not, it would be justifiable to shoot.

If a man acts like a bomber, and has a backpack and reaches inside, you're in pretty much the same situation. Sure there were a hundred people on the plane and they all heard or saw something totally different. Let's not rush to any wild conclusions and judge the men who are protecting us, based solely on what the news is feeding us about the situation.

It's a tragic death to be sure. But trying these guys in the press isn't going to fix it.

"Yet, OTOH, out of ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN people on the plane, they can't come up with one, uno, who heard that..."

Why would the press want one? That wouldn't be controversial. how would they sell newspapers?
