Decide to become a suicide-bomber?
Check.

Get a bomb?
Check.

Pose as a disabled person and smuggle it onboard in your wheelchair?
Check.

Get a window-seat?
Check.

Detonate your bomb?
Check.

Blow a hole in the hull and get sucked out of the airplane while failing to kill other people?
Check.

1. Nothing new.

Every year I read about wannabe "terrorists" who blow themselves up accidentally while making bombs.

Remember the suicide bomber training camp, where the instructor blew himself and a bunch of wannabe "martyr" up in Iraq?

Or when the Weather Underground thinned their ranks from a bomb-maker who goofed and blew up their hideout?

3. I hope he was alive during the fall to see the plane continuing on

His last thought being "Fuck, I'm a failure".

4. As Gawker put it...

"This ended up being closer to a Jackass stunt than a terror attack."

That would-be-terrorist could have done more damage by trying to play Beehive Tetherball aboard the aircraft.
