I love how they said the attacker was upset that he used to be a top pilot but was now "just an engineer...on a cargo plane!" 
Also thought it was a little ironic with all the talk of scope going on these days that there was a Gemini jet in clear view in one of the shots of the FedEx ramp.

asked the Capt of the flight he timed out on if he wanted him to change the time
I also had a FDX security guy tell me that the survivors were provided with security at their homes for quite some time after the incident. Those familiar with Memphis will know why....

From what i understand, this guy flipped and was basically insane when this occured. On a side note, I guess the fact that he was black just shows that if you give somebody somethinig(i.e. a minority), they come to expect things.

Calloway was a scumbag liar, regardless of his race. And it could have just as likely been a caucasion guy go bonkers and take a speargun and hammer to the crew. What would you have said then?
So please take your comments and attitudes somewhere else.
