14. This reminds me of a similar incident shortly after 9/11 |
|
A woman and her husband were traveling and there happened to be a group of Arab men on board. The woman was imagining all sorts of things, like when the men got up to go to the restroom she was sure they were planting a bomb. One of the men reached into the overhead bins and she was certain he was pulling out a bomb. One of them looked at her and she was certain they were going to kill her .... etc.
To make a long story short, by the time the plane landed the woman had gotten the flight crew and passengers worked up into mass hysteria and the police stormed the plane and arrested the Arabs.
Oopsie. Turns out the men were members of a band going to a gig.
Wonder if that brainless wonder ever apologized ...
