When getting on a plane, don’t open your mouth. Don’t say anything lest some other yutz on the plane takes it the wrong way.
S’yug l’chochma shtika!!!!
I Just got off that plane. after hanging up with family in Israel to stay safe. While coasting to runway seconds l8er we were surrounded by about 10 police cars. They brought police ramp stopped place and barrage of officers armed with guns bigger than the spirit seats got on . Fingers on trigger.
You heard radio shoot to kill. Like a scary movie we werent told anything they made their way to back of plane and led guy out handcuffed.
Within minutes detectives swarmed plane calling several out to interview them we waited for tsa to check luggage. And another hour for ok to leave. B”h all good .But goes to show blink of an eye
last week Tuesday evening i was scheduled to leave on a Spirit flight from La Guardia to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., at 7:50 pm, the flight was delayed due to weather conditions. We left at 9pm and landed in FL at 12am. As we were leaving the plane, the people on the other side of the aisle where I was sitting started arguing and used bad language to one another. at the time those people got to the door of the plane, the police was there and held up the entire plane for additional 15 minutes just to clarify what went on between them. So the moral of the story! just SHUT UP and you’ll move quicker in life!
