It’s wonderful to read human interest stories with happy endings. However, your Dec. 27 editorial about airline passengers becoming involved when the plane is threatened made a misleading observation: “There has been just one air-rage flight diversion to Bangor International Airport since Sept. 11. Passengers, drunk or sober, would have to think twice these days before acting belligerently.”
Exactly how many air rage incidents were diverted to BIA prior to Sept. 11? Two or three a year? Too bad you couldn’t have cited a more meaningful statistic instead of taking the lazy way out.
