"His stated intent was to hijack the airplane and commit suicide," said George Bolds, an FBI spokesman in Memphis, Tennessee. "He did indicate he intended to die in Louisiana. It appears he had a ticket to Louisiana."
Bolds said the boy indicated he had lived in Louisiana.
The teen wanted to crash the plane into a Hannah Montana concert in Lafayette, Louisiana, two CNN television affiliates in Nashville, WSMV and WTVF, reported, citing unnamed sources. The concert is scheduled for Friday night at the Lafayette Cajundome.
I have several "tween" girls in my life. They are my friend's daughters, and let me tell you, there's been a number of times where people have wanted to snap this girl's neck. :) Annoying as she may be, I can't believe the idiocy of this kid who tried to hijack an airplane.
Does he not understand that the passengers are going to rise up and beat the snot out of him? Whenever I get on a plane, I'm worried about Muslim extremists, not nutjob teenagers with a Jodie Foster complex.
I guess I now have to be vigilant against teenage boys now too.
