Flights of Fancy - our partners the Dutch

| 4 Comments

Two mokes board a KLM Flight from Amsterdam to Mexico City.

These people are on the US Terrorist Watch No-Fly list.

The USA refuses airspace access to this flight which has to turn around and fly back to Amsterdam.

The Dutch let the mokes walk away. Charles at LGFhas the story:

US Bars KLM Flight from Airspace
A KLM plane from Amsterdam to Mexico was refused access to US airspace today and had to turn back, because it was carrying two passengers who were on a terrorist watch list.
Flight 685 from Amsterdam to Mexico City was denied permission to fly south across the Canada-U.S. border on Friday because the names of two passengers aboard were included on a U.S. "no-fly" terrorist watch list, KLM spokesman Bart Koster said.
The flight, carrying 278 passengers, returned to Amsterdam, Koster said. He told The Associated Press that on Saturday, a flight without the two listed passengers departed Amsterdam and arrived in Mexico City.

And then, to add insult to injury:

And when the plane got back to the Netherlands, Dutch authorities let the two passengers walk away.
The suspected passengers were not arrested on their return to the Netherlands because Dutch authorities saw no reason to detain them, the ANP news agency reported.

Unclear on the concept...

they let them walk away cause they were clean .. they were indu not arab

lets face it .. it was a fucking stupid mistake those guys were from india i saw them they looked pakistani but were from india .. some one blew it and enden too expensive to just say were sorry wont happen again ..... thats why they let them go freely ...

i was in that plane , and it was not 5 hours but 10 hours after we departed that we were told we were back to amsterdam ... the 15 horse were for competition , and the 2 "terrorists" were sittin in the samwe row a felow mexican who told me the next day when we found out the reason we where diverted , that the 2 guys told him they were indus workin in a laundry in panama . who knows ? the funny thing nobody tells about is the english guy on board too ( who also was detained as soon as we got to amsterdam ) this english guy who, we the other passengers, called "the hooligan " was the real terrorist on board ..tryng to start a figth with everybody on board and also stealing a bottle of vodka from another passenger, i have video of the fligth and the situation on board after those looong 10 hours back to amsterdam in wich almost no ona ever took their seats again . you can see the great job stewardeses made controling this guy..and how the galley and booze was taken from passengers and so many people drunk out of stress and fear and frustration .. lots of funny stories there .. the guy whose wife was about to deliver a baby in mexico when we boarded the plane ,, the guy with a jealous wife worried about she not believing the story and asking everyone if we could sign an statement saying it was true ,, ( he was forbiden by wife to spend a single night in liberal amsterdam ) and the 3 japanese familiy who never really understood what was happening and why we where back in holland instead of mexico city .. they were aking pics wondering how come mexico city looked so much like amsterdam .. also have videoof the captain explaining there was no war or bomb in the plane .. with words like "oh dont worry all is fine down there" ..."no war no 9/11" "is just our plane they wouldnt let through usa air space "... hahaha

The weird thing about that story as well, is on some other news agency's, they reported, is that those two specific people went back to the country they were from. That's really suspicious if you ask me, going back to the board room. At least those people who were doing the screenings of the passenger's list were on top of things, as those No Fly people were denied any access.
