    Umm, no.

    The discussion that got you all worked up were comments that it seemed to be a "very sturdy airplane" in contrast to all of the composite jokes.

    How do you define "very sturdy"?...a pretty gray concept.

      Welcome aboard Daallo Airlines.
      Vodopivec means "Water Drinker".

      Just something to think about.

        It appears that the pax who was ejected was the bombmaker

        A blast which tore a hole in a Somali passenger jet was a deliberate bomb attacks, officials have revealed.

        It was confirmed last night that the bomber was Abdullahi Abdisalam Borleh - who they suspect carried a laptop computer onto the aircraft with a bomb concealed.

        Officials probing the Daallo Airlines mystery mid-air explosion suspect the man was able to bypass airport security by smuggling the device in his wheelchair before moving to another seat once on board, according to a source speaking to the Wall Street Journal.

        "We have confirmed that it was a bomb that exploded," Ali Ahmed Jamac told a news conference on Saturday.

        "It was meant to kill all aboard."

        Abdisalam Borleh's body was later recovered from the town of Balad - about 20 miles away from Mogadishu.

        Somalia-based terror group Al Shabaab, which has close links to Al Qaeda, are thought to be behind the blast that ripped a hole in the side of a passenger jet on Tuesday on an Airbus A321.

          and...... this is what it gets you:

          More than 150 militants are killed in a US air strike on an al-Shabab training camp in Somalia, US officials say.

            Well, he tore up a multi-million dollar plane, injured some folks and got hooked up with 70 virgins, so I guess he won.

            Still, I'm glad that no innocent people were killed.

            Kudos to the Composite Crackerbox for holding up well and making a good landing.
