—– Original Message —– From: Petruna, Tedd J. (JSC-DX12)[RAYTHEON TECHNICAL SERVICES COMPANY] To: undisclosed-recipients Sent: Friday, November 27, 2009 11:32 AM Subject: Long story short…. One week ago, I went to Ohio on business and to see my father. On Tuesday, November the 17th, I returned home. If you read the papers the 18th you may have seen a blurb where a AirTran flight was cancelled from Atlanta to Houston due to a man who refused to get off of his cell phone before takeoff. It was on Fox. This was NOT what happened. I was in 1st class coming home. 11 Muslim men got on the plane in full attire. 2 sat in 1st class and the rest peppered themselves throughout the plane all the way to the back. As the plane taxied to the runway the stewardesses gave the safety spiel we are all so familiar with. At that time, one of the men got on his cell and called one of his companions in the back and proceeded to talk on the phone in Arabic very loudly and very aggressively. This took the 1st stewardess out of the picture for she repeatedly told the man that cell phones were not permitted at the time. He ignored her as if she was not there. The 2nd man who answered the phone did the same and this took out the 2nd stewardess. In the back of the plane at this time, 2 younger Muslims, one in the back, isle, and one in front of him, window, began to show footage of a porno they had taped the night before, and were very loud about it. Now….they are only permitted to do this prior to Jihad. If a Muslim man goes into a strip club, he has to view the woman via mirror with his back to her. (don’t ask me….I don’t make the rules, but I’ve studied) The 3rd stewardess informed them that they were not to have electronic devices on at this time. To which one of the men said “shut up infidel dog!” She went to take the camcorder and he began to scream in her face in Arabic. At that exact moment, all 11 of them got up and started to walk the cabin. This is where I had had enough! I got up and started to the back where I heard a voice behind me from another Texan twice my size say “I got your back.” I grabbed the man who had been on the phone by the arm and said “you WILL go sit down or you Will be thrown from this plane!” As I “led” him around me to take his seat, the fellow Texan grabbed him by the back of his neck and his waist and headed out with him. I then grabbed the 2nd man and said, “You WILL do the same!” He protested but adrenaline was flowing now and he was going to go. As I escorted him forward the plane doors open and 3 TSA agents and 4 police officers entered. Me and my new Texan friend were told to cease and desist for they had this under control. I was happy to oblige actually. There was some commotion in the back, but within moments, all 11 were escorted off the plane. They then unloaded their luggage. We talked about the occurrence and were in disbelief that it had happen, when suddenly, the door open again and on walked all 11!! Stone faced, eyes front and robotic (the only way I can describe it). The stewardess from the back had been in tears and when she saw this, she was having NONE of it! Being that I was up front, I heard and saw the whole ordeal. She told the TSA agent there was NO WAY she was staying on the plane with these men. The agent told her they had searched them and were going to go through their luggage with a fine tooth comb and that they were allowed to proceed to Houston . The captain and co-captain came out and told the agent “we and our crew will not fly this plane!” After a word or two, the entire crew, luggage in tow, left the plane. 5 minutes later, the cabin door opened again and a whole new crew walked on. Again…..this is where I had had enough!!! I got up and asked “What the hell is going on!?!?” I was told to take my seat. They were sorry for the delay and I would be home shortly. I said “I’m getting off this plane”. The stewardess sternly told me that she could not allow me to get off. (now I’m mad!) I said “I am a grown man who bought this ticket, who’s time is mine with a family at home and I am going through that door, or I’m going through that door with you under my arm!! But I am going through that door!!” And I heard a voice behind me say “so am I”. Then everyone behind us started to get up and say the same. Within 2 minutes, I was walking off that plane where I was met with more agents who asked me to write a statement. I had 5 hours to kill at this point so why the hell not. Due to the amount of people who got off that flight, it was cancelled. I was supposed to be in Houston at 6pm. I got here at 12:30am. Look up the date. Flight 297 Atlanta to Houston . If this wasn’t a dry run, I don’t know what one is. The terrorists wanted to see how TSA would handle it, how the crew would handle it, and how the passengers would handle it. I’m telling this to you because I want you to know…. The threat is real. I saw it with my own eyes…. -Tedd Petruna **** UPDATE: A. Gene Hackemack is now sending out this update:Hi, My emails are now running into the thousands each day, which is actually a very good sign, but it also now prevents me from answering each one personally – a 24 hour job for the last 3 days! Let me assure you that the events on AirTran Flight 297 did occur. Mr. Petruna almost got fired from his job, so he is no longer available, however, now other eye-witnesses are also stepping forth, such as Chaplain Dr. Keith Robinson who was on that same flight. His appearance on Fox News adds the validity that this event it deserves. You can go to www.google.com now and type in either Chaplain Dr. Keith Robinson or Petruna or Hackemack (or all three) and find the information that you might be searching for when you sent me this email. Thank you again for your email and rest assured that these events that you are checking validity to – did indeed occur. – Gene <script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Another Muslim Hijacking Dry Run?: If True, Tedd Petruna’s My New Hero; UPDATE: CONFIRMED", url: "http://www.debbieschlussel.com/13158/another-muslim-hijacking-dry-run-if-true-tedd-petrunas-my-new-hero/" });</script> Tags: A.

Airtran says that it is all a lie: http://www.insideairtran.com/?p=2200 But, who knows? I know that when the shadow government wants to take down a plane -they take down the plane, no questions. Occasionally there are mishaps and the intended disaster is averted or does not have the full effect (WTC attack in 1992 for example). We can speculate all day on what this incident "could have been", or what it "might be", but for now we can only be thankful that nothing horrible occurred.
checking back after getting home, snopes calls sorry too quick on the draw... http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/flight297.asp
I am totally amazed that almost everyone thinks Snopes is the final word on everything. IT IS RUN BY 2 PEOPLE, "Barbara and David P. Mikkelson". I have been emailing people about this when they reference controversial items for years, but everyone thinks Snopes is the final word. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snopes.com
Snopes is surely not the only word, and they have been known to mess up. However, they do a pretty good job over all. And, being human --. I don't think the PTB have corrupted them, yet.
Not saying they are totally full of it, but just tired of most people thinking they are the final word.
Yeah like you guys have never dropped ordnance on the ramp. Loaders did that once with a "nuclear training shape" loaded in a clipin assy( bomb rack) inthe bomb bay of a buff. the load crew chief was going over somethings predown load of an idividual bomb inside the aircraft with a brand new kid:" check,check, oh yeah never do thisto unlock the rack:" click" the rack "functioned as designed" and released. There was no "jammer"(bombloader lift) under the selected weapon. The training weapon fell off the rack bounced off the closed righthalf bombay door,fell through the hole from the still open left half and landed on the concrete.bent the fins up scratched the paint...Reports were generated all up and down the chain that's how we heard about it.one load crew decertified....
Neither Snopes nor Wiki are court-admissable sources. I have caught both in error too many times. But in general, they make a good check among others. Snopes does exactly what we all should be doing - go out and search the web for corroborating evidence. Most often, they simply find nothing to say 'yay' or 'nay', and so it is simply unproven. Or they find several variations with enough differences to call it a hoax. IF this event did transpire as reported, I would NOT call it a 'dry run' for an attack - they pulled their stunt far too early. I'd say they were doing a different 'testing' - seeing what the resolve is of the average American to Mid-eastern men acting 'oddly'. So they did nothing overtly 'illegal' but the way they acted, I would have been OFF that airplane right behind the crew - IF this event happened as reported.
