  • daurkin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It turns out she was trying to make a submission tape for the next MacGyver spin off.
  • LuckieGW, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Thats awesome. I went to a flight school for a while and I know how loud that can be. Pretty exciting. Occasionally I see A-10's fly over my house like that. It's a real sight to see.
  • j.carcinogen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I heard she had a screwdriver too.
  • LuckieGW, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'm not too sure what you can do with vaseline and matches. I suppose you could cover yourself in it and light yourself on fire, but what good is that?
  • daurkin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Actually I love how the google ad for this article to the right is from CNN.COM and it's titled "U.S. "No-Fly" List" Alert aborts London-Boston flight for Breaking News visit CNN.com"
  • samma, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The 2 fighter jets that escorted this plane flew directly over my house. It was the loudest plane i have ever heard considering they were flying no more than 30 feet over my house.
  • schraged, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Actually you can't blame News channels either CNN or Fox for the Screwdriver & other Items in the report.. That came from a Boston Logan spokesman...

  • The_Wallbanger, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3This just in... she was only claustrophobic. Thanks 24-hr rumor channels. No screwdriver, matches, or note to al-Qaida as originally reported. Not sure about the Vaseline though ;)
