"Police Arrest 'Disruptive' Passenger Aboard Plane at Detroit Airport Sunday, December 27, 2009 Police have arrested a Nigerian airline passenger following a disruption on the same Detroit-bound flight that was attacked Christmas Day by another Nigerian man who attempted to blow up the aircraft while in flight. Several police vehicles and a police command unit have surrounded a Northwest Airlines plane at Detroit's Metro Airport Sunday after the pilot on the flight requested emergency help. The man reportedly became verbally disruptive and barricaded himself in the bathroom for an hour. Two sources tell Fox News that the suspect boarded a plan in Lagos, Nigeria, with no baggage, and said the FBI has already sent an e-mail alert to other federal agencies notifying them of the incident. A source told Fox News tjay the man taken into custody at the Detroit airport was a Nigerian national in his 30s. Federal officials know who the suspect is, but won't provide any more details. There are some reports suggesting that the man, who reportedly barricaded himself in the plane's bathroom for an huor, may just have been a sick passenger. Detroit's Metro Airport spokesman John Wintner said there was a report of suspicious activity on the Delta/Northwest Airlines Flight 253 from Amsterdam Sunday. That is the same flight that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a 23-year-old Nigerian man, was suspected of attempting to blow up over Detroit on Christmas Day. Federal officials are trying to determine whether there is any connection between the disturbance Sunday and the attempted bombing Friday, when Abdulmutallab was subdued by passengers and arrested on the ground in Detroit. White House spokesman Bill Burton said President Obama was notified of the disturbance Sunday as federal officials began reviewing airline security measures. "The President was notified shortly after 9:00 a.m. Hawaiian time of the incident regarding an unruly passenger on the flight arriving in Detroit by NSS chief of staff Denis McDonough," Burton said. "The President stressed the importance of maintaining heightened security measures for all air travel and gave instructions to set up another secure teleconference briefing as soon as possible." All 257 passengers and 12 crew have deplaned safely, said Delta spokeswoman Susan Elliott. The flight landed in Detroit at 12:34 p.m. Sunday. The plane has been moved to a remote location at the airport so authorities can conduct additional screening, Reuters reported."

When Nigerian email scams go wrong.

Maybe the guy realized he was flying into the shithole that is Detroit and had regrets.

So dude is Nigerian and his father is a "prominent banke"... hmmm... is he incharge of sending all those scam emails all over the world?

BTW, dude obviously wanted to be blown up into bits... he was injecting a starter material into the explosive that was sewn into fabric attached to his thigh.

I say we put him in the middle of the desert and have the starter material injected into the explosive around his thigh via remote control.

Good riddance... that would be.

Good riddance indeed

We had the "shoe bomber", now we have the "underwear bomber".

So are they going to ask travelers to remove their underwear?

What's next? "Bowel bomber"

The guy next to me flying home from my parents after christmas was busting ass something fierce, it was like rotting meat, he should be charged with bowel bombing.

the blown up remnants of a plane crashing into Detroit would do about two hundred million dollars worth of improvement.

people still fly into Detroit?
























why?

Dude had 80 g of PETN.

They showed a video on the news of an airliner being blown up with 50 g of PETN in a controlled explosion... the whole thing blew up!!!

So if this barbarian was successful, he would have killed 300 people.

And if he had been successful, we still would have people saying he should be jailed for life and not executed. And one particular user on here would argue that he should be put into an insane ward, as anybody who does such a heinous act has to be insane.

As I said, put him in the middle of the desert, strap 80 g of PETN onto him (even 5 g would do), and blow him up. THAT'S WHAT HE WANTED.

If he had been successful [in blowing up 300 people on a plane] then he would most certainly be dead with them.

how was it detonated though? It was probably det cord, which this guy didn’t have, and is probably what he would have needed for a proper explosion.
