DaTransitMan4608 Posted September 29, 2011 Share #1 Posted September 29, 2011 http://www.news12.com/articleDetail.jsp?articleId=293615&position=1&news_type=news A 26-year-old Massachusetts man has been arrested and accused of plotting to destroy the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol with large remote-controlled aircraft filled with explosives. Rezwan Ferdaus of Ashland was arrested Wednesday in Framingham when undercover federal agents delivered materials he'd requested for his alleged plan, including grenades, six machine guns and what Ferdaus believed was C-4 explosive. Ferdaus, a U.S. citizen and graduate of Boston's Northeastern University, was scheduled to appear in federal court in Worcester on Wednesday afternoon. A message for comment was left for his attorney, Catherine Byrne. According to the federal affidavit, Ferdaus began planning "jihad" against the U.S. in early 2010. He allegedly believed he would have a large psychological impact by killing Americans, whom he described as "enemies of Allah." :mad::tdown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadcruiser1 Posted September 30, 2011 Share #9 Posted September 30, 2011 Religion does crazy things to people. It has been proven earlier this year in Norway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted September 30, 2011 Share #10 Posted September 30, 2011 Not totally true. THe Norway thing was more racism as in the psycho wanted to put the blame of the killings on the muslims to turn people against them and in turn get them all deported or such. So religion in that case was moot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadcruiser1 Posted September 30, 2011 Share #12 Posted September 30, 2011 No. The large model planes can cost 20k, and would be about 8 feet in length. They can carry about 50 pounds of explosives if someone can convert them correctly, and if they could foot the bill for one. They are extremely dangerous in the wrong hands though, because the planes are hard to control, and is only for experienced model plane flyers. I doubt that this guy even had the knowledge for it. He might have had ended up flying the model at himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted October 2, 2011 Share #13 Posted October 2, 2011 I've seen vids of model B52 bombers, those are friggin massive and it takes a hell of a lot of effort to fly one right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted October 2, 2011 Share #14 Posted October 2, 2011 I remember a radio control aircraft club that used to bring all of their WWII-era planes to Floyd Bennett Field...they still around? Those things were amazing to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted October 2, 2011 Share #15 Posted October 2, 2011 I wished I knew. From the vids on youtube, those model planes are just beautiful as it is, but the fact they can fly like the real deal is just amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
