Preachers spark panic on airliner
A pair of Pentecostal preachers with a feel for a captive audience struck terror of a largely non-Biblical nature into passengers aboard a US airliner.
The Continental Airlines jet was about to take off from Buffalo, New York, when one declared the 11 September attacks were good reason for prayer.
Amid remarks about "your last breath on earth", frightened passengers alerted the captain who aborted the departure.
[An FBI agent said] that "in the context of 9/11 it may not have been the best way to promote their religion".
Reuters notes that the two ministers, both Canadians, were on their way to a convention in Baltimore.
