Making a bomb threat because she was late for her flight. Not sure what step 2 of her plan was.
But then they would have to get a vaccination…and they could DIE or turn librul or transgendered.
Don’t know how many Republicans you are gonna find campaigning in opposition to 18-year-olds in bikinis.
Oh just wait. The American Taliban has just begun…
I’m sure you’ll find plenty of hypocrites in the Republican party.
My wife and I were late for a flight out of Burbank once. A bomb scare delayed the flight enough that we were able to make it. (We didn’t make the threat)
BTW, the story has gone multi-lingual. (As a non-Spanish speaker, I find the headline kinda hilarious, and imagine it said by Bumblebee Man that time that he took over for Kent Brockman.)
Tangent time: there used to be a funny multi-part story online from an ex-Mormon detailing the time he tried to “save” a friend from abandoning his mandatory missionary trip by calling in a fake bomb threat to stop his flight. I can’t find it now. Anyone have a link?
Well, she got a free room (and board!) while waiting to leave town on another flight. Of course, that perq is somewhat offset.
She faces one count of false report concerning planting a bomb. If convicted, she could have to pay for all costs and damages that arose from the false report, according to Florida’s law.
That could add up quick - the airline’s cost are probably significant (just the fuel is going to be $$$ I would think), and I’d think any passengers who could show damage by being delayed could submit a bill.
That would be an interesting accounting problem. Suppose the flight for which she called in the threat wound up getting cancelled, and all the passengers were booked onto other flights. Could her attorneys argue that she saved the airline the cost of fuel for the flight that didn’t happen?
I’m sure this guy was shocked - shocked that he couldn’t hide his boner from his family or anyone else on the beach. So therefore, because he can’t control himself, no one should see the harlots and their so tiny and way too sexy thongs. “I, I mean, we, must be protected!”
Only if Rudy took the case.
Everyone on that flight is gonna want their pound of flesh.
I wonder what it costs to the airline to taxi out and have to turn around. There may be airport fees as well as a snowball of other delays because of this.
Another idiot incapable of learning that actions have consequences.
Oh, yes, the airline had to put delayed travelers up in hotels, those travelers should be compensated for their lost time, etc. If the woman who called in the threat is held liable for the costs that were incurred, they would add up to quite a lot. But, if the accountants are very accurate and thorough, there might also be a way in which she saved the airline some money. I hope the debits would still outweigh the credits.
– good grief, there’s even a polka dot bikini in the story.
Though it seems to be being presented as the modest option.
(First I heard of bikinis, we were singing that song on the schoolbus. Bus full of mixed gender kids ranging from first to sixth grade (about 6 to 11) --)
Plus, I am pretty sure she will be on the no-fly list…forever…
The stupid MF might be the bishop himself or might be his former colleagues, but to be honest it’s worth reading just for the opening paragraph.
Viva la weird. It’s a pity he’s been a strong proponent of gay conversion therapy or I might be rooting for him.
Not only hotel rooms and such. But how many flights may have to be screwed up because of the plane coming back to the gate? And parked there for how long? How many other flights where missed?
I would NOT employ bean counters for the defense of what appears to be a hissy fit of an idiot that you can only get in more trouble.
No fly list and $10,000. Or no fly list and $500,000 ?
I remember singing it, too. That, and the tan shoes and pink shoelaces one. And the Purple People Eater.
