Syed Jafry was preparing for his plane to land in
Detroit, Michigan, after a long flight from Amsterdam, Netherlands,
when he heard a noise that startled him.
“There was a little bit of light, a little bit of — kind
of flamish light and there was fire,” Jafry told CNN. “And
people began to panic.”
For a couple of seconds on Northwest Flight 253, nobody knew what was going on, he said.
That pop, officials say, came from a Nigerian man who ignited a
small explosive device as the flight descended into the Detroit,
Michigan, area. The White House described the incident as an attempted
terrorist attack. The suspect was eventually subdued by passengers and
crew.
