The New Coffee Room

I’ve seen some reports from the UAE that the fly Dubai pilot will probably get the death sentence.
Without going into the pro or cons of capital punishment, for some reason I somehow doubt that they have botched executions there. Or that it will take 30 years to carry out the sentence.

Here it took two weeks including documents being sent to Washington and then returned by courier to the house door.

Hahaha

New input. News here says that the UAE will have jurisdiction over the disposition of the Omani and will request extradition from Saudi when he is recovered. But because most pax were Israeli and if it’s a terror incident Israel may request some sort of involvement in the legal outcome.
UAE is deeply invested in diplomatic and security relationship with Israel. Also I’m sure MBS MBZ and bibi are trying to figure out what the upshot of all this is.
And I’m sure bibi will somehow try to parlay it into an election platform. Oct 27 (election ) less than four weeks away.

Rumors here, mossad people in Saudi to be involved in interrogation of copilot. Who knows?

Check out the tail. After the 15000 foot dive.

Vertical stabilizer gone.

I’ve been following this since the flight was on flight radar 24 this morning. The reports kept on changing. But what I wrote is the latest iteration

Latest here. Omani co pilot tried to kill Emirati pilot and take controls. Possible 9/11 situation ?

Pax managed to get the door open extract two pilots. By chance there were two off duty fly dubai pilots, a South African and New Zealander. They landed the plane after stabilizing it.

Word here is that Omani pilots are not allowed to fly to Israel. And looking in to see how that happened. Also obviously looking to see if there is an Iran connection

Right now the pax (174, mostly Israeli) being flown back from Saudi on a rescue flight arranged by fly Dubai.

That’s all I know.

I’ve flown fly Dubai to Dubai. There are ten daily flights from TA.

New thread? Never dull here.

September 27 is the widest date

"Quality has a price." only in America. where i work quality is pretty inexpensive.

U can just go season 5. It deals with oct 7. Like I said deep breath before episodes 7 and 8.

Deep breath before episodes 7,8.

It’s been on Netflix for the past couple of weeks.

This video has been making the rounds The only word to describe this interview is unserious. How can you appoint this ignoramus to be co chair of the D.S.A. I’m sure that there are people that can make cogent arguments for hard left positions. She isn’t one of them. Just clueless and clueless to her own cluelessness.

this is as good a place as ever to recommend reading the snow leopard by peter matthiessen, which i read when it came out in 1978, but then again, i was a young lad at the time, impressionable and the search for eternal truths in the wilds of the himalayas seemed very cool and earnest to me.
