Would you complain if another passenger on your plane was watching video of the 9/11 terror attacks?
A Canadian man and his young son were kicked off an Air Canada flight bound for the U.S. after passengers complained that the boy was watching videos of the 9/11 terror attacks. Would you have complained? Should they have been removed?
NICK ROSE, West Carrollton: “I would’ve been a little nervous about it, but I probably would’ve just dismissed it. It was just a little kid.”
NICOLE WILSON, Springboro: “I would not have complained about it. It’s pretty assinine to me that people are scared of everything when they get on an airplane today.”
LISA METZCAR, Dayton: “It might’ve bothered me a little bit, but I don’t think they should have been removed from the plane. But I wouldn’t have wanted my kids to be watching it.”
JUSTUS SCOTT, West Carrollton: “I don’t think there’s any danger in a little kid watching a video about 9/11 on a plane.”
WILLLIAM NOCK, Franklin: “It wouldn’t have made me nervous at all. Kids are liable to watch anything. Kicking them off the plane was pushing that gray area too far.”

Naw…wouldn’t complain because they’d arrest me on PC charges of “profiling”, accuse me of being Islamophobic (duh…three airplanes into buildings, one into the ground, over 3,000 dead…I’m not capable of cognitiv/critical thought), so it appears that I’m the one with the problem. Nope…wouldn’t say a word…you’ve got me trained as I should be….

Probably not politically correct but kicking them off the plane seems a bit much. Doesn’t say they asked them or him to turn it off. Which one would think they would have tried first.

If another passenger was watching anything that was so loud it disturbed others, they should be asked to turn it down. Otherwise, no, it wouldn’t bother me. It’s part of history, just like the Civil War or the Great Depression.

No, I wouldn’t have taken into offense to it. It’s part of our history now. Everyone has seen it.Kids are curious. Now, if it was really loud, I would have asked to have them turn it down.

No as long as he didn’t mind me passing gas every minute or so.
