Tel Aviv - Israeli warplanes nearly shot down an American airliner carrying passengers from New York to Tel Aviv on Wednesday when the pilot failed to respond as the plane approached the Israeli coast, an airport authority official said.

Two Israeli F-15s and two F-16s fighter planes were scrambled to intercept a Boeing 777 operated by the US Continental Airlines as it prepared to enter Israeli airspace without responding to control tower demands to identify itself, the official added.

According to Israel's private Channel-10, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, defence minister Amir Peretz and General Gaby Ashkenazy, chief of staff, were warned that the air force was on the point of shooting down a civilian plane suspected of being in the hands of hijackers.

The Boeing pilot at the last minute realised the situation and the danger threatening his craft and established contact while still over the Mediterranean.
Escorted by the warplanes, the Boeing landed without further problems at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport where an inquiry was opened.

"Two Israeli F-15s and two F-16s..."
Maybe if they buy a dozen more their air defense would not be so taxed! I'll bet you a nickel that Cheney could set it up for Saturday delivery.

jetdawgg- Hey buddy! Those aren't YOUR skivvies, are they?:D

Reminds me of when I was toilet training my youngest son.....One day he had an "accident." I said, "Levi, did you crap your drawers?" He said, "No, dad. I jumped off the porch...and it fell out!"
It was such a good come-back, all I could do was laugh.

My 15 year-old stepson has forever ingrained the VP's name on my brain...here's how...He asked me the other day, "Did you hear that Bill Clinton got a nipple ringy?" I said no...He said "He did it because he heard that Bush has a Dick Cheney." I was laughing so hard I couldn't even tell him how inappropriate that was!

Drum...talking about potty training, my youngest stepson, who is now 4, came to me one day a couple years ago and asked me for something. I almost vomited from the smell of crap that was following him around, so I asked him if him if he pooped in his pants. He said no. I said, well someone did, don't you smell that? He sniffed the air and with the best poker face I ever saw, he calmly said "Dat not me." I laughed so hard I was crying. To this day I call him Danahmee. He'll get it some day!
