On Northwest flight 253 this past Christmas day as we all now know, a Nigerian man attempted to blow up the plane which thankfully failed. But with nearly 300 passengers and crew on board you would expect that someone with a camera or better yet a camcorder would be filming or taking pictures.
These days most everyone has a cell phone with camera or video capabilities.
Well there was at least one man that we know of that was filming the entire event, witness’s on board mentioned it during the various interviews that we saw after the news broke.
Kurt Haskell and his wife Lori Haskell were interviewed by Erica Hill on CNN, Lori Haskell tells Erica Hill that she noticed a man with a camcorder recording the “entire” event, she said “he was the only one standing filming the entire thing“. The Haskell’s also talked about what they witnessed in Amsterdam before boarding onto Flight 253, they said; an unidentified man appeared to be helping the bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab get on board without a passport.
Another passenger, Patricia "Scotty" Keepman tells 620WTMJ's "Wisconsin's Morning News." that she and her family were seated about 20 rows behind Abdulmutallab in a center aisle, and that she saw a man who videotaped the entire flight.
Patricia Keepman went on to say "He sat up and videotaped the entire thing, very calmly. We do know that the FBI is looking for him intensely. Since then, we've heard nothing about it."
There has only been one picture released to the media taken on flight 253 it’s an exclusive on CNN showing uniformed officers removing the Christmas Day bomber from the plane (the picture is seen in the video link above).
Because the man has yet to be tried, and because information on this attempted bombing is still sensitive in nature, the American public won’t be seeing that video anytime soon, if at all, and it seems that the Federal government doesn‘t want to mention it. But what is also even more interesting, is that CNN and other main stream media outlets have yet to follow up with any questions, about the man standing with a camcorder filming the bomber on flight 253.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab looks like he's no older than 15. The recruits are getting younger..
"But what is also even more interesting, is that CNN and other main stream media outlets have yet to follow up with any questions, about the man standing with a camcorder filming the bomber on flight 253."
Interesting? Surely you jest! CNN and the mainstream media ceased doing their jobs responsibly long ago. If Obama were Nixon, today's CNN, NY Times, Washington Post etc. would never have reported on Watergate.
Maybe you are finally learning that the partisan democrats running these so-called news organizations are exactly as the guys at Fox, the Weekly Standard, etc. say they are. The truth hurts, don't it?
Got something to say?
