The not-so-freindly skies.
Airplane grounded by praying pentecostals.
A pair of Pentecostal preachers grounded a plane when they panicked
passengers and pilots, saying 9/11 was "a good reason to pray."
One preacher told fellow passengers as the Continental
Airlines plane taxied down the runway, "Your last breath on earth is
the first one in heaven as long as you are born again and have Jesus in
your heart," according to FBI spokesman Paul Moskal. Passengers on the
Wednesday flight to Newark, New Jersey told a flight attendant, who
alerted the plane's captain, officials said. The captain turned the
plane around.
"They were sincere in their beliefs and were not malicious," Moskal
said by telephone from Buffalo. "In the context of 9/11 it may not have
been the best way to promote their religion."
