UPDATE - The suspect was screaming “Allahu Akbar” as he stormed the front of the plane.

The suspect who tried rushing the cockpit of an American Airlines plane is placed on a stretcher after the plane landed in San Francisco. (NBC Bay Area)

A Yemeni man was tackled by crew members when he rushed the cockpit on a flight to San Francisco.
The AP reported:

Crew members and passengers wrestled a 28-year-old man to the cabin floor after he began pounding on the cockpit as an American Airlines flight approached San Francisco, the third security incident in a day on U.S. planes, authorities said Monday.

The man was yelling unintelligibly as he brushed past a flight attendant about 10 minutes before American Airlines Flight 1561 was due at San Francisco International Airport Sunday night, Sgt. Michael Rodriguez of the San Francisco police said.

A male flight attendant tackled the suspect, who carried a Yemen passport, and other crew members aided as the suspect banged on the cockpit door.

“He asked for help; a couple of passengers joined in,” Rodriguez told The Associated Press. “They were able to get him to ground and a flight attendant put him in plastic handcuffs.”

The Boeing 737 carrying 162 people landed safely at 9:10 p.m. and the man was taken into police custody.

He was identified as 28-year-old Rageit Almurisi. Though he carried a Yemen passport, it wasn’t clear if his nationality was also Yemeni, Rodgriguez said.

  1. And so it begins………….

  2. Holder will deem this an isolated incident.

  3. A wonderful member of the religion of peace no doubt ?

  4. “The Yemeni man seemed to be having a panic attack” said the officials we spoke with. He was interviewed and then released with a notice to appear at a court hearing in two weeks.”

    Wait for it; you know it’s coming. And nowhere will they mention his religion.

  6. Lessee now… Yemen… isn’t that somewhere in Scandinavia? Gol danged Yemeni Lutherans, always up to something.

  7. HI HO,,HI HEE,, I am a Yemeni,,, I wear a little shirt and I dig in the dirt,,,,HI HO,,HI HEE,,,I am a Yemeni

  8. maybe it’s time that only americans can fly on our planes…

  9. Sure it was just a panic attack…and the 19 hijackers were simply unhappy with the in flight entertainment. Nothing to do with Islam at all, peons.

  10. The death of bin Laden certainly slowed the movement. Not!

  11. The folks should have put a bit more presure to his neck and called for a body bag.

  12. One more time, the incident was not prevented by T&A. One more time, there was no cop on the scene. One more time, the Militia was called on to respond, and did so with honor and effectiveness.

  13. Too bad the attendants and passengers allowed the goat buggarer to live. I doubt there’d be this number of incidents if just a couple of these skunks arrived at the terminal room temperature.

  14. On Drudge there is quite a list of panic incidents in the air. Interesting developments actually. I wonder how our gutsy/ CIC is going to deal with this.

  15. Even the MSM can’t hold back all the growing awareness that Muslims are the source of the world’s terrorist attacks. And Americans are waking to the fact that the Islamic machine is coming at us 2 ways, direct attacks and the stealth jihad as Islam makes its way through our institutions.

    How to fight back. Educate all your friends by increasing their knowledge base by inviting thme to read good websites like GP and Spencer’s jihadwatch.org
    http://www.jihadwatch.org/

  16. Ah, another probe. I wonder how many other Yemenis were watching to see what would happen. Had he gained the cockpit, dollars to doughnuts says there would have been a few other “peaceful” muslims waiting in the wings.

    This will only get worse but I’m glad the masks are off.

  17. Another reason to have an all Muslim airline.

    Another reason to give extra scrutiny to swarthy ME males, 17-40 y/o.

  18. I supported Liberal Hawks (aka Neoconservatives) “Spread the Democracy” Doctrine because it is true that Democratic Nations do not war against one another.

    However, after careful evaluation of events over the last nine years of “Spreading the Democracy” I am re-evaluating my support.

    I’d like to ask the Liberal Hawks Bill Krystal, Charles Krauthammer or Jennifer Rubin how has “spreading the Democracy to Islamists ethnic-cleansing Christians abroad while you spread your Liberal Fascism at home” done anything to further advance Freedom worldwide or to quell the hate emitting from the Arab streets in the Mid-east, Europe and America?

  19. Now are they sure the person wasn’t a six year old girl with the last name Smith? I hear they are often armed and dangerous…..same goes for those little Caucasian boys.

  20. And don’t forget the Burbank Illinois man who tried to open the passenger door on that flight that got diverted to Houston, conveniently unnamed, Burbank being a center of radical Islam in Illinois. Wouldn’t want to embarrass the religion-with-special-rules.

    And the Albuquerque-diverted plane with the treatening note in the lavratory.

    And the ASA flight (the one where the topic of religion was suddenly very important to the discussion)

  21. Who wants to be the non-muslim pilot on an all muslim airline, and who wants an all muslim airline flying around in the U.S. or anywhere else for that matter, even though airlines from muslim countries filled with muslims are landing and taking off everywhere. Hmmm.

  22. The next terrorist attack Obama will stop spiking the football and go back to blaming President Bush

  23. Shoot him in the head first and then ask his family questions later.

  24. Guess the Delta pilot last week was spot on…..

  25. The authorities should have waterboarded this clown as soon as they got him off the plane.

  26. My thought exactly…….the Delta pilot was right on.
    These “lone wolves” are being called to action by their brothers in the religion of peace to act. Apparently they are taking the call seriously.
    There have been 2 IED’s found. One near Brownsville and one in PA that was near RR tracks.
    I don’t know how successful these “lone wolves” are going to be but the eunuchs in the lsm had better start reporting.

  27. Fool thought San Franciscans would be a soft target. Well guess what. Even San Franciscans don’t want to die in a fire ball of wreckage.

    Keep alert, folks. Their leaders exhort them to more violence.

  28. And to think that just a few days ago, 3 muslims who were kicked off a Delta Flight were standing in front of a microphone lecturing us all about how if we only knew about islam, we’d realize that we have nothing to fear from muslims.

  29. The next time someone does this, get him or them on the ground and kill them! The Obama regime is protecting them, so it’s up to the citizens to destroy them.

  30. Also, wasn’t the Left telling us for YEARS that all we had to do was to kill Bin Laden and all the jihadi badguys all over the world would then pack up their bomb belts and go home and live peacefully with non-muslims forever and ever, amen?

  31. Wouldn’t it be safer if the airlines started serving BLTs for the in-flight meals?

  32. Thank God for the TSA. A proven and effective deterrent for terrorists.

  33. Did the airline apologize to him. I’m waiting for the pedophiles in the TSA to search a 2 year old European American/Native American little girl, while this type of woman is waved right through. We are on our own everyone. We have a Muslim impostor sitting in the White House committing Jihad with the help of the DOJ, FBI, and DHS.

  34. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=bae_1304490155

    This is the face of Islam. Do not watch this video unless you can stomach to see the head severed from a nine year old boy. The minority muslim population in Thailand doesn’t let it stop them from slaughtering 4000 or so Buddhists. If this crap didn’t happen everyone muslims reside, then maybe we could think it was just a few, but this crap happens everywhere – no one is safe.

  35. No doubt he’s lawyer’d up already.

  36. Does TSA keep security tapes showing who went through a scan or pat down. It would be interesting to know if this man was checked.

  37. One of my best friends is an airline pilot. Stuff like this scares me for him. We so need someone with a stiff back to keep our skies safe. Not going to happen with this guy in the WH, though.

  38. But a terror attack is thwarted by a locked door when everyone knows the doors are locked? Something is up.

  39. Waterboard him!

  40. It’s times like these when I wish El Al flew domestically.

  41. He was “yelling unintelligibly”? Just waiting for the passengers to come out and say he was yelling Allahu Akhbar! (Just like the funeral procession at Osama’s send off did).

  42. Makes you seriously wonder why we dont profile? I fly a ton, have to be xrayed etc..It appears to me when someone with Middle East Looks or name come to that point ? That they dont go thru the same scrutiny because of the PC MENTALITY…

    I know once on the plane, I scan everyone I see and identify any such potential terrorists, if I see them make a move like that, I am pummeling the shiit out of them as I am certain many more of the like American Males would also..

  43. He probably thought it was the bathroom. (/sarc)

  44. This would never have happened if he was a 6 yr. old girl.

  45. WHere did he board? That airport is not up and front.

  46. Ah. Found it: Chicago

  47. Off with his head..off with all of their heads

  48. Spot on Susan regarding the “Liberal Hawks Bill Krystal, Charles Krauthammer or Jennifer Rubin”, all 3 and many others on the Democracy building team need to be held to account for their Religion of Peace crap! Sarah Palin has started to move away from these “Neo-Con” or Faux Cons and that is a good thing. The US Empire is like the British Empire except we don’t get to take the bounty!

  49. This and the other two incidents yesterday are being called “False Alarms”, today!

    EXCUSE ME??? A YEMENI BANGING on the PILOT’S DOOR of a plane is a “FALSE ALARM”???

    I don’t think so! NOT ON THIS GREEN EARTH!!!

    Joanne commented: “Now are they sure the person wasn’t a six year old girl with the last name Smith? I hear they are often armed and dangerous…..same goes for those little Caucasian boys.”

    Yep. The greatest threats to air transportation are six year old white girls named “Smith” and those notorious Diaper Bombers (little white boys under three years of age wearing diapers).

  51. Practice run!

  52. The word has gone out from the Imam of the Al Aqsa Mosque…… http://youtu.be/zhn65MVC2rk

  53. Throw a few out of the plane at high altitude and it wouldn’t happen.

  54. So when these chaps run at the cockpit screaming ALLAHU AKBAR……what does that mean?? I mean, should I be concerned, or is this normal behavior??

  55. A red dot on his forehead to match bin deaden is in order…………

  56. “Allahu akbar” for a panic attack? Who was he trying to panic? I guess the guy must’ve thought a panic attack is a person cuz “Allahu akbar” is the Islamic battle cry heard before slaughter. Hmmm. Did he kill his panic?

  57. Can you imagine how much more safer the trains will be when TSA starts scanning and pat downs at the depots. The bus system is next on the list.

  58. Hit them in the back with an old pigskin football.

  59. Perhaps we can have all flights carry a goat in heat and a private area.

    That should occupy the potential middle eastern terrorists.

  60. Probably upset about the inflight movie.

  61. The guy’s first name is Rageit. He was just living up to it.

  62. “Allahu Akhbar!”

    “Gesundheit.”

  63. The local SF leftist news, TV, radio, print or net, didn’t say a thing about what the Yemani yelled, but they did say he was subdued by a retired federal agent and a retired cop. It’s time to profile air travelers by nationality, not by who’s next in line – like little old ladies, infants or well-endowded females.

  64. but but but but…but but but…what about the CRUSADES????

  65. What are the odds. So many Irish Catholics. Never does one yell JESUS SAVES, as he runs to the cockpit.
    Yet we have numerous instances of PANICING WHILE MUZZTARD???

  66. “He asked for help; a couple of passengers joined in,” Rodriguez told The Associated Press.

    So long as that remains true, we’re still good.

  67. Actually, the leftist newsrag (SFgate) DID mention what he said. They reported that a woman onboard who understood arabic stated that he was saying “God is great” (AKA Allahu Akhbar) They must have scrubbed the story before too many normal people saw it and got the wrong idea about the poor misguided passenger (SARC)

    I guess he did not get the memo that rushing the cockpit will result in a severe ass beating now. He’s lucky he was not passed around the plane like a fat joint at a rock concert.. getting some individual attention all the way to the back of the plane.
    I apologize for the drug reference, but you get the idea!

  68. Logically, most of the 162 passengers heading for San Francisco had to have been liberals.

    These are the “good” people. I remember a San Francisco child being comforted by her mother soon after 9/11 when the child was afraid they were going to be attacked like New York. The mother said something along the lines of “Don’t worry, dear. They would not hurt us because we are the good people….”

    I wonder if the SF libs still feel their innate “goodness” will save them from rabid Muslim attacks.

  69. Just turn on the seat belt sign, wait 30 seconds, then porpoise the aircraft between + and – two gees every half second for about two minutes. Scrape the little bastard off of the ceiling, what’s left of him.

  70. They should’ve snapped his friggin’ neck when they had the chance.

  71. A panic attack brought on by having someone standing on his head after he tried to rush the cockpit, maybe. Excuse me while I feel no sympathy for him whatsoever.

  72. Another member of Lone Wolves local 131, no doubt.

  73. Vindication. I knew when the AP stated that the terrorist (alleged) was “shouting unintelligibly” that he was actually shouting Allahu Akhbar, and that when passengers were interrogated, they would tell those were his words. I’m only surprised that under this PC TSA, that he was arrested.

  74. @#66 gus

    Maybe that’s what we should be screaming.

    While muslims shout “allahu akbar” before trying to kill someone, we should scream “Jesus Saves” while trying to stop them.

    Jesus Saves.

  75. “The man was yelling unintelligibly”

    Yeah, right. Something tells me it was allahu akbar.

  76. “The suspect who tried rushing the cockpit of an American Airlines plane is placed on a stretcher”. I like that he had to be taken away on a stretcher. Way to go flight attendants and passengers, hopefully everyone got in a few good punches!

    Watch for CAIR to jump in to defend the poor, defenseless guy who was overtaken by a crowd of prejudice white people obstructing his religous practices.

  77. On radio news this morning, the news announcers would not say WHAT he screamed. All they said was, “He pounded the cockpit door and was screaming.”

    I guess it’s just too “sensitive.”

  78. There is a video documenting the expunging of the yelling of that death cults mantra:
    http://religiopoliticaltalk.com/2011/05/watch-media-expunge-islamic-attempt-to-bring-plane-down/

  79. “yelling unintelligibly”" Apparently that means no one else on the plane spoke Arabic, right????

  80. I heard the taped comments of a passenger on that aircraft on the Glen Beck radio show.

    That was the first thing the passenger brought up that he screamed Allahu Akbar.

    My liberal friends, please ask yourself why would the MSM not include this in thier reports??

    Muslims will kill us all if you do not face the truth. Its a war and liberals and conservatives

    are on the same team. Best wise up, the rag heads just kill Americans, they don’t ask for

    political affiliations or gender nor race. Truely equal opportuninty killers.

    powder is dry, wise up.

  81. Nutso. But aren’t they all? I wasn’t aware that this wasn’t revealed by the MSM, but then I DON”T GET ANY OF MY NEWS THERE ANYWAY.

  82. Militant Conservative @ 84,

    You state that libs and Conservatives are on the same side. Since when? The libs in this country are and always have been against the United States as it was intended. Why else would everything from the socialist, PC tripe our kids are taught in public schools to what the .gov is doing to the Constitution be what they are? Wake up and take a look around.

  83. These bastards need to be taught that they are different and until they act right everyone who resembles them will be treated as second class if not first as a threat.
