She should take him back. Women always complain about lack of effort from guys these days, and probably rightfully so, but this dude gave it his all.....traveled 600 miles...... probably spent a year's savings or more on his plane ticket ......and he didn't just show up uninvited on her doorstep like a creeper ex-husband would do hoping to catch her unawares.....NO...... he had the courtesy to make sure she and the whole world knew he was coming. Keeper.

But would you ever travel with him on a plane ever again?!?!

Thankfully, it looks like this wasn't a terrorist incident - just an unstable guy who can't deal with his woman. I will never understand the impulse to make others' lives miserable just because yours is.

Then again, I've had PMS. I take that back.

I'm glad no one was hurt, physically anyway. I can't imagine the terror of that experience.

You don't have to worry about that. He's probably "grounded" forever. Maybe they'll let him float the Nile if he's lucky. His next air adventure will take place when he chucks himself off a bridge/cliff.

Yeah lucky it wasn't a terrorist attack but it's still pretty alarming how easily this guy was able to pull something like this off...
