Chris Llewellyn was staring out the window of Delta Airlines Flight #110, watching the landscape of Los Angeles rise up toward the plane, when he heard the screams of a flight attendant: “Help me! Help me!”No matter how spineless or politically correct our politicians may become, this is why America is still a great country: the peons, the drones, the commoners. All of us who actually work for a living, who understand right from wrong, and who call a spade a spade.Turning quickly, he saw that a passenger had pushed the attendant to the floor and was trying to open the rear exit.
“Don’t come near me,” the man warned. “I have a bomb. I have a bomb.”
“I thought this guy was going to open the door. I was thinking, ‘I’m not going to go down with the plane,’ ” said Llewellyn, 26, a 6-foot guitarist, who was flying into Los Angeles from Atlanta this morning for a television appearance with hip-hop artist Asher Roth.
Along with a dozen other passengers, Llewellyn ran down the aisle, into the galley area and jumped on the man, pulling him away from the exit door.
“He was struggling hard-core,” Llewellyn said. “I was holding down his arm. Somebody had a foot on his head. Everyone was holding down a different body part. He was going nuts. I was telling him to chill because he’s not going any place.”
The jet landed safely and no bomb was found. Still, local and federal authorities credited Llewellyn and the other good Samaritans with helping save the day.
As long as Americans react like this, there's hope for this country.
There's my two cents.
