Fighter Jets Escort Plane To Sea-Tac After Hijack hoax

Most recent reports say it was a hoax or some kind of nasty prank. The suspected passenger was asleep most of the flight and unaware of what was happening. The FBI released him after questioning. <a href="http://blogs.seattletimes.com/today/2013/01/military-jets-escort-alaska-flight-to-sea-tac-fbi-d...

RE: Seattle: What To Do?

If you have the time and money, you might consider a sightseeing tour of Seattle and other parts of Puget Sound by Kenmore Air or some of the other small seaplane services on Lakes Union and Washington. Another good museum to check out in Seattle is EMP (Experience Music Project). It's in Seattle Ce...

RE: Languages You Speak And Want To?

I can speak English and basic French (finishing my second year). Also, I can read Hebrew aloud but not really understand what I'm saying. I'd like to continue French through college and start learning modern Hebrew. I've always wanted to learn how to speak Italian and Greek.

RE: Any ''24'' Fans Out There?

I'm a pretty big fan even though I started watching during Day 5. This season wasn't horrible but the finale was way too rushed.
