My family has a ski cabin in the Poconos, where there is a large Croatian and Slovak population. Almost all these people are Catholic or Orthodox. I have never met a Muslim Croat.

Thanks goodness that our airports now have new thoroughly-trained and well-compensated baggage screeners, beefed-up tarmac access security, and air marshalls on every flight, there is no chance anything like this could ever happen again on a U.S. airplane. <BR> <BR>Not!

Well said, Elvira & Rosenatti. <BR> <BR>Violent crime is hardly a new phenomenom in the United States. In fact, one could argue that violent criminals are "terrorists", only on a smaller scale...but no less terrifying if you happen to be one of their victims.

Perhaps, most of the rumors are being started because of the lack of the factual information. Since this morning, I have not heard a full report about the guy who attacked the driver. Why are they keeping that information away from the public

What I question is the need to post breaking news on this board. We all probably have radios and TVs in addition to a PC. Starting a "newsflash blurb" thread on this board only entices posters to report the sketchiest of details (often unfounded rumors) and serves no real purpose. Take this one for instance -- bus crash in Kentucky...10 dead -- two wrong "facts" in one sentence. If there is a need for further discussion on an incident after reliable sources (i.e. legit news agencies, not total strangers that post on a website) have gathered pertinent facts, then that is totally okay. Why would anyone want to submit to sensationalism and hysteria, especially now?

They are keeping it a secret because the guy was an Arab!
