The other day, before encountering this thread, I was telling a friend about an SDMB thread on the poor guy who was suddenly burned because of his clothing. As I remember, he worked at a small airport. He had been wearing foil and/or foil-lined clothing for a while. The day he wore foil-lined underwear inside his foil-lined pants, he touched an airplane with its engine running. For anybody else, it would have been a harmless static shock, but he was wearing a giant capacitor (two layers of foil separated by cloth.) There was a fiery flash inside his clothes.:eek:
I think I remember his was not seriously burned, but he had to promise his boss he wouldn’t dress that way again.:smack:
Wow, all this lampooning really struck a cord with you guys, huh? I hope the investigators have the energy to get to work finding the culprit, instead of sitting around stroking their chins and watting for a light bulb to go off. They need to catch him before he goes off grid. A photo at the scene shows the guy had wirey limbs and bulbous head but that evidence might just be a plant.
Has this sort of thing ever happened before? What parallels can we draw to the series of previous events?
Amperes to me that someone is not that well grounded in the definition of electrocution. As far as I know, one can never “survive electrocution”–no matter how healthy or adult they are.
I mean, using stolen or forged passports, several spotters, and excellent timing!
Sounds like a Mossad operation-or it could be a rival terrorist group (Hezballah?) who WANT to make it look like the Mossad did it!
In any case, a monster got sent to hell-I applaud whoever removed this POS from the earth.
I am certainly not an expert, but I doubt a high quality organization like Mossad did this. Did you see Ireland’s comment on the “passports” used by the team? The passport IDs didn’t have the correct number of digits, and genuine Irish passport IDs contain both numbers and letters. The fakes had only numbers. OTOH, the team obviously knew the quality of the border controls in Dubai and didn’t waste any unnecessary effort on quality documents.
Quite outrageous really, this, regardless of how “evil” the victim allegedly is.
I would be pretty angry if Mossad had used my identity to carry out a murder. If they wish to indulge in these activities that’s up to them but they have no right to involve innocent people in the matter.
Not least because they may kill the wrong person and murder an innocent by mistake - which has happened before I believe.
This is a GQ thread, not MPSIMS. I came to this thread to find out some information about the murder in Dubai, and 90% of the post are not-very-good puns about electricity. Am I the only one that is annoyed?
Of course, by asking this question, I have hijacked the thread, but the thread is pretty much way OT anyway.
OK. This is is my working hypothesis:
She comes in looking like a hotel electrician with biaxial cable. She splits it into two, strips off some of the insulator, winds and melts the exposed wires to make them pointy. She dips the wires into some poison. She sneaks up on the guy, and sticks the two leads into his chest, crossing the heart. She wraps the rest of the cable around his neck, and the respools it ever tighter.
Next they’ll find that he committed suicide with three gunshot wounds into his back.*
I love this story so much that I plant to write a triode to it.
*Whatever happened to silencer/handguns that go phit, phit, phit?
The UK seems to be annoyed that some of the assassins were using fake UK passports. Both Canadaand New Zealand has had rows with Israel over the misuse of their passports for Israeli spies. The fact that none of the assassins used Canuck/Kiwi identities could be another clue that points to the Mossad.
This is one of the oldest tricks in a very big book for Mossad. Obviously they wouldn’t use the perfect fakes they can get hold of anytime. They’d simply make it look like some less well organised group of assassins had done it.
Twice I’ve been in this thread and received a fraudpack.exe virus alert. Anyone else having a similar problem?
Hang on, I think there might be someone in my back garden — if I’m not back in 10 mins, someone phone the local plods for me.
