Passenger Ignites Firecracker on Delta Flight from Amsterdam to Detroit

Posted on 1 Comment

1948 ET UPDATE: I reported on this earlier today just as the story was breaking. Apparently it was not just a firecracker. See Hunter’s link below. More details and analysis as the story develops.

Well, I can’t blame this one on the TSA.

A passenger headed to Detroit from Amsterdam on a Delta Airlines flight Friday ignited firecrackers upon landing in the Motor City, causing minor injuries to others on the plane…An emergency was declared aboard the flight, operated as Northwest flight 253, according to a Federal Aviation Administration spokesperson.

That’s an odd way to celebrate Christmas…

    Not so much a firecracker incident, but attempted terrorism:
