FBI Probing Punctures in US Airway Jets

More punctures on more US Airways aircraft. From AP, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:

CHARLOTTE, N.C (AP) -- Puncture holes were found in the bellies of two US Airways jets at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport, which the FBI said was not likely caused by normal wear and tear.

Officials said the punctures discovered Monday morning during routine visual inspections are similar to damage recently found on another US Airways jet in Florida.

No passengers were in the planes, which were temporarily grounded for repairs.

"There was some damage found on two planes here in Charlotte," FBI spokesman David Martinez said Wednesday. "They were brought through the channels for maintenance and it was brought to our attention. We are now doing interviews.

"We've opened a case, investigating. We're trying to figure if there is a criminal nexis or a terrorism nexis. We've opened the case, and see where it takes us."

Nexis? What's a Nexis? Don't they mean nexus?

I would have thought AP could spell :-)

Maybe this particular plane flew over Sadr city, when old porky's crew of cockroaches were firing their guns into the air like wild-west outlaws on crystal meth.
(Maybe they were shooting at Allah for giving them such a crap life, and for not letting them win any recent wars)

wHAT KIND OF pLANE WAS IT THAT CRASHED IN MO. THIS MORNING? Was a comuter but did not say where it came from or what airline?

Catherine,

The plane was an American Airlines-affiliated Corporate Airlines plane, a twin-engine turboprop. Flying from St Louis to a town inb northern Missouri. Sounds like pilot error but anything is possible!

I thank the true God for creating me into the most giving, most tolerant, most humane, and most free tribe in the history of mankind. We are blessed with a gift that many take for granted, many die trying to attain, many envy, and many seek to destroy. I pray I can do my part in saving her from this barbaric evil known as Islam.

Looks to me like the great white knight of westernism- George W Dubya may lose after all. Lots of small things are against him - not least outright voter fraud by the Dems largescale in Ohio and Florida - and I'm already tring to reconcile to a Kerry presidency, desperately trying to find something good about his impending reign...

BUt there may be yet be hope, methinks. Maybe Kerry, wavering and pandering that he is, can be prodded in the right direction (of defending freedom against the jihadis) by strong popular opinion.... Or is thata sking for too much in a Dem administration? It's gonna be a moslem lovefest I guess. Arafat and Chirac vying for photo-ops in camp David for starters....
