Woman with child drives onto Phoenix runway
A woman with a child... rammed her 1997 Saturn into an airport gate and drove onto an active runway about 10 p.m., according to the Phoenix Police Department. Phoenix police responded quickly by stopping the car and taking the woman into custody, police said. Airport operations were shut down for a couple minutes, but flights didn’t experience delays or any danger... (www.azcentral.com) Mehr...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Preacher1...You are so right! Forgive me...I had a brain fart! To be honest with you, I feel the government is not protecting our anything! Congress are a bunch of talking heads and yet this guy at JFK jumped the fence...just for the Hell of it!
Sad part is that the Airports are getting the money for it. I hate to say it but they are going to have to go to a TSA style security outside or let the TSA do it, perish the thought. Most local jurisdictions don't want to give that control to anybody else, don't want to give up that money, and yet refuse to do it like it needs doing.
I still can't get past the "Authorities found Anderson with a pacifier in her mouth and her son in the back seat." A pacifier on HER mouth, and the baby is in the back seat. Good lord.
Well, they said she was either drunk or stoned.
You know...we post this breach of security at our airports and I agree with JD345! The "bad guys" are taking all this in and they are most likely getting a big kick out of it! We tend to make light of this...what if it happened at JFK, LAX or IAD? We can't forget that fatefull day, 9/11. We cannot become complacent. This is not the time to let our guard down. What ever happened to "Stop Short of the Runway"...especially with "Unicom". That's a no brainer with anybody who has any "grey matter"! Stupidity...and you can't fix stupid!!!
It did happen at JFK. Completely innocent but remember the guy with the broke down jet ski a few months back. He wasn't detected, so to speak, until he approached somebody for help. Based on that, had he been a bad guy and wanted to, he could have tore up jack. Why have so much emphasis and security on the front door if the back one is wide open?
