Umar Fizzlepants Update

(Including a Picture of the “Burned” Seat)
by Scott Creighton  
***UPDATE*** As it turns out, the photo of the seat section where Umar Fizzlepants was supposed to have ignited his “sparkler of terror” is even more fraudulent than I first reported. You see, Umar (or the poor Sudanese refugee playing the role of Umar) was seated in 19A… the picture is of 19B, the seat NEXT to Umars. You can see a little of 19A in the upper left part of the picture (below) and the seat is clearly undamaged. 

 

The FLOOR however looks like something happened to it, but the seat where the supposed “Underwear Bomb” was, is not damaged at all. 

 

Now why would they go through the hassle of taking a picture of the damage Umar caused, then not include the damaged seat in the shot (or edit it out later)?

 

Answer: because the seat wasn’t damaged and they didn’t want you to see that.
