Seatmate Of Christmas Bomb Suspect Recalls Chaos On Flight

On Christmas Day, Jay Howard sat next to Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab on Northwest Flight 253.
In his first broadcast interview, which aired on All things Considered today, Howard shared his memories of the fateful flight — and his fellow passenger — with NPR’s Michele Norris.
According to Howard, as smoke filled the plane’s cabin, Abdulmutallab “seemed very surprised and shocked at what was happening, like he didn’t know what was going to happen.”
“The look on his face was of utter shock,” Howard said. “What his actions told me on the plane was that he was in over his head, and he didn’t exactly know what he was doing would entail.”
After spending a semester in Europe, Howard was heading home. Before boarding the Airbus A330 at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, he looked around at his fellow passengers.
“When I was sitting in the waiting room, I noticed that there were people there from all over the world,” Howard said. “And I was really amazed by that.”
According to Howard, Abdulmutallab was polite. for most of the flight, his behavior was unmemorable.
Abdulmutallab tried to sleep, listening to music on the plane’s media player, Howard said. during the meal service, he refused to eat. Abdulmutallab told Howard and the flight attendants that he had an upset stomach.
Several hours into the flight, there was a small explosion, followed by smoke. for a moment, Howard struggled to identify its source.
“I was very curious what had happened, because it sounded very close to me,” he said, adding that there was “a repulsive smell.”
Abdulmutallab had covered himself with a blanket. Howard asked him about the smoke. There was no reply. he reached over and grabbed the blanket, releasing more fetid smoke. There was almost immediate commotion. some passengers cried. others screamed, demanding water and fire extinguishers.
This interview is part of a series called “Going Radical: An NPR News Investigation.” in pieces for NPR’s All things Considered and Morning Edition, Ofeibea Quist-Arcton chronicles Abdulmutallab’s life.
Win the Battle With Insomnia
Posted by: | CommentsIn this article, we will review a wide range of tips on helping a person fall asleep. How long does it take for one to fall asleep?That depends on a number of factors, including what the person ate before they went to bed, how tired the person is, and numerous other factors.If you have sleep problems, a person could take what seems like hours to fall asleep.
Insomnia Information: Insomnia means you are finding it very difficult to get to sleep.It also can mean that staying asleep is difficult. Most people who suffer from insomnia say that they remember turning and tossing all night long or remember being awake at night. Nights when I struggle with insomnia I just can’t seem to turn my mind off, and often I can’t even close my eyes. Usually it takes me about 30 minutes to fall asleep; but my son is asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow.
The TV helps me fall asleep — I have it on a timer to shut it off after 30 minutes.I also require total darkness, and my bedroom must be ice cold – even in summer. Admittedly, this does not help save energy!
There are natural or behavioral treatments for insomnia. One relaxation techniques is practiced by tensing different muscle groups and then relaxing them. Another method is repeating a set of visualizations to produce a state of relaxation. My favorite visualization? Lying in the sun on a beach in the Bahamas.
It is also good to be able to manage the stress in your life; this can allow you to more easily relax at night and when it’s time to go to bed. Another helpful method is to associate the bedroom with just sleeping, by limiting the time spent in the bedroom for non-sleep activities.So take your television, office, and computer out of the bedroom. Also reduce the use of stimulants (such as caffeine) and avoid big meals just before bedtime; this can help reduce insomnia. One can also try soaking in a hot bath to relax or listening to some soft music before going to bed.
Melatonin is a sleep aid. It is especially helpful for people who suffer from insomnia caused by jet lag or shift work. Melatonin occurs naturally in the body; this happens when serotonin is exposed to less light.
Other common over-the-counter (OTC) sleep aids such as Sominex or Nytol can also be tried by adults; but one should consult their doctor before taking any of these sleep aids especially if you suffer from Parkinson’s disease, or are being treated for depression or other mental health problems. But it is also buying into the mindset of turning to a pill to solve a problem, which can produce problems in other areas of a person’s life.

It is advised that if you have trouble falling asleep and have tried all the natural tips in this article, then perhaps you should see a sleep therapy specialist. So many people have developed sleep issues, there is now a sub-specialty in medicine for such problems. Inomnia may be a symptom of another medical problem, so it is best to get a consultation with your doctor and discuss your sleeping problems with him.
Even with so many sleep tips, falling to sleep is very individual — you must find the way that is best for you.
