Man kicks cockpit door "Kung-Fu style"

[Zhoozhitsu]

More evidence that Kung Fu is at least partially useless:

Several members of the flight crew and other passengers approached Moreira as he kicked the cockpit door "kung fu style," Boyer said. When he eventually forced his way partly into the cockpit, "the co-pilot used an ax that they have in the cockpit to basically hit him bluntly on the head."

Good thing this guy wasn't trained in GJJ, he would have grappled the door open for sure...


This is a perfect example of why we need "small axe" control legislation. Only qualified federal, state, and local authorities should be allowed to own/operate such deadly weapons. Axes of this nature are nothing more than killing machines that promote violence. That co-pilot could have killed someone.

I think the Brady bill should be expanded to include "small axes" in the future.

Just goes to show you that even a "street lethal" martial art, such as Kung-fu (pick your style) can't prepare you for an axe up side your head!!

5 day waiting period on all axes!!!
