Can't believe they are admitting it to be a terror attack attempt.

Makes me wonder what the ulterior motive might be for the media

We'll see there are these things hanging in the aircraft called crash axes

No need to bring your own it's part of the safety equipment.

Nope. Just mundane reporting of what you would expect a responsible government to do regarding a possible terrorist attack. It assures the public that adults are in charge.

This wasn't "our" media. It's the official news agency of the UAE.
