FacebookUpdate 4:20 p.m.: As a commenter points out below, it appears Schuringa has made his Facebook page private; we’re guessing he got a ton of friend requests.
He’s only got seven friends on Facebook, but he’s arguably the most popular man in the world right now.
Jasper Schuringa, a Dutch film director, has been cited as the man who helped take down terror suspect Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab and thwart a potential disaster aboard Northwest Flight 253.
Schuringa gave his story to several media outlets after the plane landed at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
“Suddenly, we hear a bang. It sounded like a firecracker went off. I saw smoke rising from a seat … I didn’t hesitate. I just jumped,” he told The New York Post.
“I pulled the object from him and tried to extinguish the fire with my hands and threw it away,” he then told CNN.
After the ordeal, Schuringa said his hands were a bit burned, but he’ll be OK.
“I am shaken up. I am happy to be here,” he said.
Schuringa’s parents tell a Dutch media organization that they are proud of him, but thankful he didn’t lose his life or become seriously injured.
DutchNews.nl, Dec. 26: Jasper Schuringa’s parents, Bob en Ingrid Schuringa, told the Telegraaf: ‘He said that he had climbed over the seats at top speed when he saw what the guy was doing. Then he hit him, dragged him to the front of the plane and returned to put out the flames. We are extremely proud of him but also really shocked because in one second it could have ended up very differently’.
What “Object?”
Where is it? What does it look like?
A PDA with a blown Lithium Ion battery by any chance?Otherwise, this “object” would be showcased in all the corporate media as definitive proof of the crime! The absence of this object from the media is notable! It should be there, but itn’t.
And how can our hero pull an “object” from our terrorist when the official story is of 80 grams of PETN sewn into his underwear?
As a side note, the explosives sensors used at the airports detect PETN remotely
