    Imagine the fear and dread the passengers on this plane had before coming to understand that the belt was a fake. Real fucking humorous. But hey someone got to make it about them. Endemic in this country among the selfie crowd.

    it's not funny at all. should you really be approaching an unstable human who has a bomb that might be real strapped to him? the guy is a giant douche bag and a selfish look at me prick. that's just my opinion though.

    I thought about this as well and from reading another article, that's exactly what the passengers experienced.

    After all is said and done... when you think about it... it kinda took the power away from the f**kwad with the bomb belt.

    Hijacker: "Don't anybody move or I'll blow this plane to pieces."

    Gasps. Shrieks. Disbelief.

    Selfie guy; "Hey. Before you blow it up, can I take my picture with you?"

    Hijacker: "Just one. Then I gotta get back to terrorizing everyone."

    Selfie guy: "Okay. Thanks a lot man! Good luck with your terrorizing!"

    Hijacker is a loser- he can't even get the attention of the plane he's hijacked with a bomb belt.

    what bugs me is that some find this so damn funny. hopefully we never have to be together trapped upside down in a burning wheelchair or mobile home theme park because you'd really get on my nerves

    How can people not see the humour in this?
    That scenario is right out of an SNL skit.
    Sometimes a tense situation needs a class clown.
    If the picture put people in danger, not cool....but if it was already established that the 'bomber' wasn't a threat and approaching him didn't matter...then I don't see the harm.
    I have to wonder how much of the bitching about the pic is actually situational, and how much of it is coming from people who ALWAYS have a chip on their shoulder about modern technology - kids having phones, selfies in general, facebook, texting in social situations etc etc....some people really really hate that shit and would see this as an extension of that. I'd bet there is a correlation there for sure.

    Drowned, valid points - but for me it's not so much the technology itself but in how it's (ab)used in ways; seems to have inflated the egos of some, along with their narcissism. Why must every stupid aspect of life be photographed and posted? Why can't someone walk down the street without staring into their phone (and walking into me - thanks asshole!).

    It's just weird to me, and especially in this instance, where someone was so fucked in the head to sport a fake bomb, scare the holy shit out of a lot of people, and then fellow passenger thinks....

    ....ah, I give up =)

    This is the guy who sits next to you on a cross-country flight and never shuts up. Garlic and onions on the breath, too.
