re: #197 FFL (GOP Delenda Est)

1996. And I think the plane had a bomb (possibly including stolen nerve agent) aboard.

I saw that in a theater and the crowd actually cheered when an early surprise twist occurred. (Steven Seagal’s character falling out of the plane.)

Though with the title, that makes sense in hindsight. Seagal characters by that point, the audience is only wondering when they’ll take the plane back. Without him, it totally makes sense that even before 9-11, the best way to deal with it may well be to consider the passengers dead the moment they were hijacked and just down it. And that’s defs the President’s call in a time when we still think most hijacked planes will just spend several days on a third-world airstrip.
