..."the first report is always wrong."
Passenger sets off firecrackers on Detroit flight. I rather expect that URL won't last, so we'll do a little excerpting:
ROMULUS, Mich. – A passenger aboard a plane at Detroit Metropolitan Airport set off firecrackers Friday, causing a commotion and some minor injuries, a Delta official said.
Delta Air Lines spokeswoman Susan Elliott said the passenger was subdued immediately. She had no details on the injuries.
One passenger from the flight was taken to the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor, hospital spokeswoman Tracy Justice said. She didn't know the person's condition, or whether the person was a man or woman. She referred all inquiries to the FBI.
An FBI spokeswoman in Detroit said the incident is being investigated.
Instead, it turns out that
a non-Rotarian with a non-euro-sounding name apparently tried to blow himself up, in a troubled outreach for assistance, which, coincidentally might have resulted in the destruction of the aircraft and his fellow passengers as an unforunate side-effect.
Which, in a sad commentary on the state of the debate, would not have stunned me to see advanced as an explanation so as to maintain the invisibility of the elephant in the room.
