At the risk of looking like a fool, this is an urban legend. But maybe that is what [OT] means? What am I missing? Are the subsequent references to Minnesota related to this post?

Am I about to get the JREF boot for being hopelessly out of it?

Just another case of where alex jones' lackeys can't even do at the most the minimum research into their articles or on any claims. The "explosives" aren't explosives in any sense that we are accustomed to (ie TNT, C4, etc); but a system that uses pressurized fluid to help open a door in the case of an emergency.

Wait until they hear about the explosives under every single-fighter pilot seat on military aircraft. Rational people call it an ejection seat.
 
FWIW the doors on airliners (typically) aren't opened in an emergency by explosives, but a small gas bottle and ram. They may have tiny little charges, but that's all.
There is no possible way to remotely guide the aircraft either.

Both of those ideas are pure fiction.

OT usually means Off Topic.

This happened to me personally, exactly as indicated. I won't dispute that a prior urban legend might have inspired the pilot to do the schtik with me.

[OT] was intended to indicatethe "silly bomb story" was just that, "Off Topic" and onlly tangentially related to the thread.

The Minnesota connection eludes me.
 
Wow. I just got around to actually reading the infoscares article.

McConnell says he has evidence that "The QRS11 trail leads back to Communist China's funding of the second Clinton presidential run and then to Joe Giroir and Hillary Clinton, former partners at the Rose Law Firm, and finally the crime of Arkancide and the death of Ron Brown," and that "The Iridium satellite system used to steer electronically-hijacked jets fitted with QRS11 gyroscopes on 9/11 was probably commanded from virtual and physical war rooms embedded in Canada Steamship Lines vessels built by China for CAI-Carlyle Canada."

This guy really likes to tie it all together. For those of you who don't know (that being, pretty much everybody who isn't Canadian, and even some who are), Canadian Steamship Lines was at one time owned by one-time Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin:

In June, 2002 Martin quit the cabinet as Minister of Finance to pursue a bid for leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada. On March 11, 2003 Martin bowed to public and media pressure on his interest in CSL Group Inc. and announced that he would sell his interests in the company to his three sons, saying that his ownership would "provide an unnecessary distraction during the leadership race."

On December 12, 2003 Martin becomes the 21st Prime Minister of Canada. On January 28, 2004 the federal government, in response to opposition party and media enquiries, revealed that CSL Group Inc. had received $162 million in federal government contracts, grants and loans since Paul Martin became Minister of Finance in 1993. Earlier figures released in 2003 had suggested CSL Group Inc. had only earned $137,000 in federal government contracts during this time period.

Notice the convienent date he became PM: December 12, 2003. Just long enough after 9/11 so as to not raise suspicion that he was being rewarded for his part.....Oh, and also my Dad's birthday, but I'm sure he had nothing to do with it :)
 
"One nasty little thing is that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, which has an almost explicit prohibition on possessing explosives. For those of you who are at BCA [Boeing Commercial Airplanes], you might remember that every single door on an airplane has actuators that are triggered by explosives," said Bain.

If Boeing's President said that, I am mildly shocked because that's a completely ignorant and moronic statement. He may be referring to a squib that ruptures the sealing disk of a compressed air bottle, but I don't know any other Boeing planes those are installed on beside the MD-11, maybe the 747(Bill?).

As far as the remote control business, all I can say is Northwest needs to look at their pilot training curriculum because the man obviously does not know his airplane(s) very well.....maybe he was the one that landed at the wrong airport a couple years ago.

The next time I sit in an exit row and the flight attendant asks me if I'm willing to operate the door in an emergency, I'll just say, "That won't be necessary. I have it on good authority that this door is packed with explosives."
 
Ouch!

I just walked across the carpet in my living room, touched a doorknob and witnessed a blue explosive fireball jump to my index finger - along with the crack of an explosion!

You NWO shills!!!!111one!!!!eleventy!!!1111

You remotely charged MY WHOLE APARTMENT! Now I'm afraid to move and I'll probably die of starvation! I hate you all trust me I really DO! ALEX! Save me! Rosie! Where are you!

Minnesota is like Kevin Bacon. It can be connected to anything.
