Didn’t the 911 commission make a lot of recommendations for air safety and aren’t a lot of them still not in place since the report came out in 2004. Some stalled by various interest groups and of course money. Maybe we need to take lessons from El-Al airlines and stop the foolishness.
Nice! Don’t get me started on 9/11 - I’m still trying to figure out why that WTC building that WASN’T hit by a plane collapsed like a house of cards. That plane that crashed in PA - it wasn’t going to the White House - see WTC building that wasn’t hit by a plane…

In the future, when this ‘crotch bomber’ dies, I wonder if there is enough equipment remaining for the reward ceremony.
