Qatari diplomat Mohammed Al-Madadi

The 27-year-old Qatari diplomat who caused a full-blown, midair security scare when he tried to sneak a cigarette and then joked about it should be recalled or expelled for doing just about "everything wrong" on board the United Airlines flight to Denver, some officials said Thursday.

Qatari diplomat Mohammed Al-Madadi caused a full-blown, midair security incident--including the scrambling of Air Force F-16s--when he tried to smoke a cigarette in the airliner's bathroom. An air marshal, alerted by the smell of smoke, confronted Al-Madadi, who stupidly joked that he was trying to set his shoes on fire--an all too unfortunate reference to the infamous airline "shoe bomber" Richard Reid. Now there are calls for Al-Madadi to be expelled from his post in the U.S.

Group of ghost hunters looking for ghosts on anniversary of 1891 train wreck. Caught on 300-foot long railroad trestle when real Norfolk-Southern train appears. One man struck by train and killed.

It's a shame that one man died. About the "ghost hunt" I really don't want to comment anything, because each has the right to believe in what he want.
