Death is the only just verdict. She not only stabbed the pilots hoping the plane would crash but tried to westle the controls of the airplane and crash it herself. Death is the only just verdict for trying to murder scores of airborne people and God knows how many more on the ground.

How is it possible that a knife-bearing woman could hold an entire airplane at bay? Did none of the passengers have enough fortitude to stand up and smite this woman. What a bunch of wimps the world is now producing, wimps who would rather go down in flames than standing up to a single woman. Were I there I would have put her out of action in 10 seconds even though I might be injured in the effort. The only way for society to function is for its members to persevere. In this case, they did not. They wimped out in a most cowardly and disgusting manner. Our men have turned to cowardice and our women to complicity.

yes, i totally agree.

Solution Prevention is better than cure. Stricter security of passengers BEFORE airflight searching of lugguage etc., Somali woman needs phychiatric evaluation & treatment. God knows her background. She may have experienced & seen terrible cruelty living in Somali. Have mercy.

Clearly this is a psychiatric case and the accused needs rather an immediate help. Such cases are easily exacerbated by lack of understanding in terms of language, racial comments, un-pleasant attitude, and more so the very fact that flying itself may cause a huge pressure on such passengers. In the current issue, it is hard to rule out all of the above and thus I would assume her innocent until proven otherwise. But even in the event she is guilt of some thing, she should be given the benefit of her background. Yes, have mercy.
