Maybe he had pictures of his hot Columbiana and all he wanted to do was show them to somebody- "Hey everyone, look, I've got da bomb!" Next thing he knows, "Bang!" Sick world.. good times though. |

Flew into Miami today on AA flight 1700 and made my connection for Chicago. As we were pushing away from the gate, we were stopped while a flood of police and emergency vehicles quickly passed. We were held in that position for about 15 minutes and then allowed to proceed. We then taxied past another AA plane surrounded by the emergency vehicle and encircled with yellow tape. I learned later that this was the plane where it all came down. There were 2 large dark colored vehicles that probably carried swat teams. The police response was quick and massive. I like it that they took the guy seriously. Turns out he was a Columbian born in CR. |

From A.M. Costa Rica: Costa Rican native is shooting victim in Miami By the A.M. Costa Rica staff and wire services A Costa Rica-born U.S. citizen became the major international news story Wednesday when a sky marshal shot and killed him at Miami's International Airport. The man is 44-year-old Rigoberto Alpizar, formerly of Guanacaste. He may have been in the throes of a mental disorder because law officers say he claimed to have a bomb in a backpack he carried on the passageway to his airplane. No bomb was found. The afternoon incident is the first shooting involving the marshals that were put on airplanes after Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States. In what law enforcement officials described as an unfortunate event and an isolated incident, the shooting took place near Flight 924, a Boeing 757 heading from Miami to Orlando. Alpizar and his wife had just returned to the United States from South America where they had been involved in dental missionary work in Ecuador. They had been there since Thanksgiving. James E. Bauer, special agent in charge of the Federal Air Marshals field office in Miami, said Alpizar threatened to blow up a bomb in his backpack. "At some point, he uttered threatening words that included a sense to the effect that he had a bomb. There were federal air marshals on board the aircraft," said Bauer. "They came out of their cover, confronted him, and he remained non-complaint with their instructions. As he was attempting to evade them, his actions caused the FAMs to fire shots and, in fact, he is deceased." FAM means federal air marshal. A passenger on the flight said Alpizar ran down the aisle of the airplane while his wife cried that he was mentally ill and had not taken his medication. Federal authorities said they found no evidence of explosives. FBI agent Andy Apollony said investigators were considering whether the threat was terrorism-related. "Anytime there's an individual that's on a plane or is attempting to board a plane and says he has a bomb, we're going to be interested in that from a terrorism nexus," he said. Before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon, there were only a few dozen federal air marshals, who flew mostly on international routes. Thousands have since been hired to protect aircraft and their passengers. After the shooting, agents unloaded the luggage on the aircraft and blew up two suitcases when trained bomb sniffing dogs showed an interest. Alpizar moved to the United States in 1986. He worked at Home Depot, a construction supply store. He lived in Maitland, Fla. The news story captured the attention of the major television news outlets, and congressmen, physicians and terrorism experts were among those interviewed on the topic. |

Dude was bipolar and not taking his meds. Wife should've never let him get on the plane without taking his medication. No doubt, the family will sue TSA and AA's ass. It's a real tragedy. Friends don't let friends fly crazy.

I do not see how they can sue AA, maybe home security & TSA but not AA. |

Any attorney is going to name every "deep pockets" he can connect to the incident no matter how tenuous the relationship may be. You have heard the GI slogan from Vietnam, "Kill them all let God sort it out." Litigators slogan is, "Sue them all let the Judge sort it out" |
