There's a hero...see something, say something. Don't think that everyone else is doing their job and remember most things are done by the lowest bidder.

It looked like an open ended wrench. Is that called a spanner over there?

Good thing it wasn't a torch!

Good catch.

I don't understand this part:

"The rammed plane had already taxied down the runway in Geneva in preparation for its flight to Copenhagen when a 25-year-old Swiss man saw the wrench wedged into one of the flaps."

Rammed plane?
