*** PREVIOUS RESULTS *** Last week, just hours after Federal Air Marshals shot and killed an airline passenger, AVweb asked our readers for their opinion on the incident.
67% of you saw the shooting as an example of the system in action – although one with tragic consequences.
The other 33% of our readership thought the death of an innocent man was a clear indicator that the system had failed.
*** THIS WEEK’S QUESTION ***
Follow-up to the American Airlines incident. Initial mainstream media reports generally told one version of events, indicating that 44-year-old Rigoberto Alpizar was threatening to detonate (or at least claiming to have) a bomb. Now, one week later, news media from Yahoo! to TIME magazine to Fox News to CNN have offered briefs more in line with AVweb’s original next-day coverage.
Our question to you: If Rigoberto Alpizar never said anything suggesting that he may have had a bomb, would that change your opinion about the event?
