Taking a Plane to the Hanna Montana concert

Quote:

(CNN) -- Authorities have charged a teenage boy who said he planned to hijack a commercial jetliner in an attempt to commit suicide, an FBI spokesman told CNN late Thursday.

The 16-year-old was taken into custody by airport police without incident on Tuesday evening after flying from Los Angeles, California, to Nashville, Tennessee, on Southwest Airlines Flight 284.

"His stated intent was to hijack the airplane and commit suicide," said George Bolds, an FBI spokesman in Memphis, Tennessee. "He did indicate he intended to die in Louisiana. It appears he had a ticket to Louisiana."

Bolds said the boy indicated he had lived in Louisiana.

The teen wanted to crash the plane into a Hannah Montana concert in Lafayette, Louisiana, two CNN television affiliates in Nashville, WSMV and WTVF, reported, citing unnamed sources. The concert is scheduled for Friday night at the Lafayette Cajundome.

Bolds said he had no information on whether the concert may have been targeted as part of the plot.

In the teen's possession were handcuffs, duct tape and a type of rope or yarn, according to the FBI. Authorities noted that those are not prohibited items. "His plan contemplated overpowering the flight crew," Bolds said.

The teen is being held on unspecified state charges and could face federal charges as well, Bolds said. CNN affiliate WTVF reported the teen has been charged with felony terrorism and is being held at the Davidson County juvenile detention center.

"It is my understanding that at no point in time during the course of the flight there was ever any safety concern," Southwest Airlines spokesman Chris Mainz said. Bolds also said nothing threatening occurred on the flight from California to Nashville.

It was not immediately clear how police became aware of the teen's presence on the flight or his alleged suicide plans.

"Hannah Montana" is a hit Disney Channel show -- which stars 15-year-old Miley Cyrus and her country singer dad, Billy Ray Cyrus -- about a teenage girl who is a typical high-schooler by day but has a secret pop-star alter ego by night.

Since my apartment is RIGHT outside the Nashville airport and on the landing pattern...it's nice to know a suicidal teenager flew over my house the other night with intentions of hijacking and crashing a plane. I'm just glad he didn't get an itch to do something quicker than he intended.

Sounds like the bastard son of MacGuyver who turned would-be terrorist.

So, he wanted to kill himself by crashing an economy plane into a concert? Why not just get a personal plane and jump out of it onto Miley Cyrus while she performs? That'd seem like the right thing to do -- and no downside on the outcome.

The downside of this is he was caught before he could free the world of Miley Cyrus....

If Hannah Banana was successfully taken out of the picture, The Disney Channel would switch mascots, and I'd be forced to watch even more of that crap when my neice comes to visit. >_< I'd rather be forced to endure a wide variety of travesties than just the same three over and over.

Sadly stuff of this nature is already in the works...they plan to have the muppets on that suite life show with zach and codey...I mean seriously I wish Jim would like become a zombie or something and attack diseny.
So sorry to say Gobo it's already to late but of course Disney has made tuns of things they are apprently going to do with the Muppets but they don't ever see the light of day, so let's hope these horrid ideas don't.

Actually, it makes more sense than you'd think. I'm working under the theory that she really IS a puppet that Billy Ray Cyrus created so he could be in the spotlight again. At the very least, there's a mind control device planted in her head.

Not so much this kid or Miley, but killing a bunch of innocent people is wrong. And the scarey thing is, if they can barely foil a p'o'd idiot teenager, how can they handle brainwashed idiot 20 year olds form whatever the hell country we can't stop p'ing off?

Kind of stupid to even worry about it. He had rope, duct tape, and handcuffs. Unless he was some kind of hand to hand combat master there's no way in hell he could have pulled it off. Even if he did manage to tie up the crew someone would notice, unless he's also a ninja or Sam Fisher. A passenger would stop him, someone would. He's 16, I've yet to come across a 16 year old I couldn't beat the snot out of so I'm sure anyone else on the plane who isn't handicapped, a child, or elderly would have been able to handle it.

Huh... I never thought of it that way. You make a compelling argument, Doc. But, as I've always said, if the muppet was created post-Jim, I'm not interested.

But, yeah. It sounded to me like they weren't in any danger too. Of course, it wasn't said how they caught this delusional punk.
