Pictured here are the American Airlines Flight 63 "Hero's" (with NBC Matt Lauer) who prevented Richard Reid, the converted "Islamic Terrorist Thug" imprisoned for attempting to blow-up an American Airlines jet 2 days before Christmas in 2001, on a flight from Paris to Miami with 197 passengers on board.
Richard Reid, serving a life sentence in a federal prison says, "...I have no regrets..." and trusts God will set him free, according to the "Daily Mirror"
During the flight, an alert Flight Attendant became suspicious when she smelled the scent of sulfur from a lit match as Reid, attempted to light a fuse wire coming out from his shoe. When Reid was confronted, he fought with the flight crew, biting the hand of a Flight Attendant but was finally subdued with the assistance of passengers who overpowered the terrorist so he could be restrained.
The pilots immediately declared an Emergency and two Navy F-15 jets met the aircraft and escorted the Boeing 767 into Boston Logan Airport where the FBI met the flight upon arrival and arrested the wanna-be Islamic suicide terrorist.
