Dutch Passenger Hurls Into Action to Stop Alleged Terrorist on Plane
Saturday, December 26, 2009
A Dutch airline
passenger told The Post how he leapt into action when an alleged Muslim
terrorist tried to blow up a Detroit-bound airliner packed with 300
people just moments before landing.
Chaos
erupted as alleged terrorist Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab, 23, tried to
set off a sophisticated explosive device strapped to his body.
"Suddenly,
we hear a bang. It sounded like a firecracker went off," said Jasper
Schuringa, a film director who was traveling to the US to visit friends.
"When [it] went off, everybody panicked ... Then someone screamed, ‘Fire! Fire!’"
Schuringa, sitting in seat 20J, in the right-most section of the Airbus
330, looked to his left. "I saw smoke rising from a seat ... I didn’t hesitate. I just jumped," he said.
Schuringa
dove over four passengers to reach Abdul Mutallab’s seat. The suspect
had a blanket on his lap. "It was smoking and there were flames coming
from beneath his legs."
"I searched on his body parts and he had his pants open. He had something strapped to his legs."
The
unassuming hero ripped the flaming, molten object — which resembled a
small, white shampoo bottle — off Abdul Mutallab’s left leg, near his
crotch. He said he put out the fire with his bare hands.
