You can't pray in plane. "Praying passenger removed from San Francisco-bound flight"

You can't pray in plane. "Praying passenger removed from San Francisco-bound flight"?
A passenger who left his seat to pray in the back of a plane before it took off, ignoring flight attendants' orders to return, was removed by an airport security guard, a witness and the airline said. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080418/ap_on_re_us/praying_passenger By the way guys, don't kick my butt because I don't have any religion and I am not atheist. I just wanted to see a little fight between atheist an religious people but I hope that you read the whole article If you guys read the article, or the headline, you will see that yahoo maybe put it in the context of religion. However as all of you said, this guy violate a rule and it's not about religion. I am glad that all of you agree on that. It's good that you respond with maturity . Thumbs up for all of you.

Not during take off and landing. You have to remain seated and belted. Be sensible.
2 :
They chose to ignore the rules. If the Pope did that on a commercial flight, they'd kick him off too.
3 :
I don't care what religion you are. Pray before the plane takes off. The attendants have regulations they need to follow for the safety of ALL the passengers. Or pray quietly in your darn seat. *He* was standing during a time they needed to be seated.
4 :
That's ridiculous. There is no reason why he couldn't pray silently in his own seat.
5 :
Dont you have to be in your seat and be buckled in before takeoff and landing and during turbulence? Its a rule meant for the safety of the passengers. Couldnt he simply abide by them and wait until the plane was in the air or pray in his seat? This has more to do with violation of the rules than about religion.
6 :
It wasn't because he was praying. It was because the plane was about to take off and he disobeyed the flight attendants' orders.
7 :
You can't ignore the instructions of the flight crew. You cannot be standing when takeoff is imminent. It has nothing to do with WHAT he was doing, only that he wasn't doing what he was supposed to.
8 :
There's a difference in being forbidden to pray and not obeying safety requirements of the plane. No one told him he couldn't do it in his seat. You're not supposed to get up during take off, and it had nothing to do with his praying.
9 :
Because you're supposed to remain seated. It's not a matter of praying.
10 :
He shouldn't have gotten out of his seat and gone to the back of the plane to pray just before taking off. There are reasons for the rules, especially during landing and take off. He could have kept praying as he sat down.
11 :
It was for his safety. He could have prayed in his seat.
12 :
He wasn't removed because he was praying. He was removed because he ignored the flight attendants when they told him he had to return to his seat and buckle up for take off. He would have been removed had he decided to go to the bathroom during takeoff too and refused to return to his seat. All he had to do was wait til the pilot said seatbelts could be removed, THEN go pray if he wanted. Or do so in his seat.
13 :
Why couldn't the dude just pray from his seat? I think that they made the right decision in sending a message to him and the rest of the public to be respectful of the authority of those running the plane. I realize it was only a 2 minute prayer, but who knows what he would've done at 30,000 feet. I think a clear message was sent and I doubt he caused ANY problems on his way back home. REPOST: I nominate you for the Nobel Peace Prize! You just got all the theists and athiests to agree on something on R&S. Good job!
14 :
Talk about jumping to conclusions. Everyone has to remain seated when the plane takes off and lands and as instructed by the pilots and flight crew. A praying person does not have the special right to endanger his/her life and the lives of others.
15 :
The issue here was not that the passenger prayed but that they did not follow the instructions of the people in charge of the plane. God can hear prayer from your seat and is not encumbered by the fastened seatbelt.
16 :
and.... your question!?!?! FAA regulations come first on a plane. schedule your flights around your prayer times. why on earth should he have been allowed and hold up the entire airplane AND all subsequent flights?!
17 :
Don't be ridiculous, this isn't about religion. This is about a passenger willfully ignoring rules that are there for a reason. They were right to remove him.
18 :
You also can't pray by screaming, "OH, GOD, WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!! SAVE US LORD!!!!!".
19 :
So it's really more like "you can't ignore flight attendants' instructions", then.
20 :
Good. No one should be allowed to create a disturbance on a plane. It is to confined a space, and no way to get out, if this person had something else on his mind by creating a distraction over praying.
21 :
A regrettable misunderstanding, but the airline was correct. Why did he wait until just before take-off to start? That wasn't such a good idea. .
22 :
There is no law that says you cannot pray on a plane. But the exercise of your religion does not give you some special right to endanger other passengers. Everybody needs to be in their seat and belted in on take-off, otherwise if the plane gets into an accident, one person bouncing around the fuselage could easily injure other passengers.
23 :
Now, why do I believe there's a bit more about that story than you're leading on?? Be willing to bet the passanger suffered anxiety panic prior to flying, and the Pilot/crew determined it would be in his/her best interest to turn back. Oh, did I mention, I work at an Airport!

What HKG gates do flight CX873 (SFO-HKG) normally taxi to? Also, how far is the gate to CX907 to Manila?
I need to know if you have any photos or markers that I can use to tell my 67-year old mother how to transfer from an incoming Cathay Pacific flight from San Francisco to another one going to Manila, Philippines. Thanks.

If you take her to the airport, tell the agent that checks her in at the ticket counter that she will need assistance in changing planes. A Cathay Pacific agent will meet her in HKG and take her to the next departure gate. Regards, Dan
