Details in Mystery Travolta Extortion Doc

Posted Jan 27th 2009 7:40PM by TMZ Staff

John Travolta & Jett TravoltaWe've now gotten to the bottom of the mystery document that was the basis for the alleged extortion plot in the John Travolta case.

Sources connected with the investigation tell us John Travolta told EMT workers he wanted to fly his son to Florida rather than drive by ambulance to the hospital ... which was 45 minutes away.

There was a disagreement over which course would be better. John felt initially it might take the same amount of time to get his son to Florida where he might get better care.

The document at issue would have released emergency services from any liability if Travolta elected the Florida route.

In the end John realized the hospital was Jett's best hope.

1. He was just looking out for the best care for his son. So sad.

2. If your child is dying on the bathroom floor, I don't care WHERE you are....you take that child to the nearest hospital!! I can't believe Travolta wanted to load the kid on an airplane and FLY him to Florida!! Something is not right with this story and despite people saying Scientology had nothing to do with it, I'd bet my last dollar he wanted to take that kid to a Scientology physician. Probably one he had on his payroll...... poor kid.

3. bull!!!!!!!!! What about a document like that would warrant millions........makes no sense..total cover up.....either the autopsy is a lie or the fact people knew the handicapped kid was left alone for HOURS

4. John Travolta was right ! He could have flow his child to the hospital in Florida and saved his life.
It took 45 min. to get to the hospital in the Bahamas ?

What is the Extortion about?

5. I agree sandbox. Who would have even think to get in a plane and FLY their kid somewhere? Good Lord, just get him in the ambulance and go. My opinion, and I'm entitled to it, is that he did not want a non-Scio doctor to treat him. It's happened before, with deadly results.

6. Is Jett wearing eyeliner?

7. Confused at a time when his son was dying and they thought that was exploitable? The Travolta's have always been a close and respectable family dispite their fame.The Bahamas is off of my list of places to visit FOREVER!

8. Sorry TMZ but trying to get the best care for your son doesn't add up to a million $$ blackmail scheme.
There is more to this story.
The death of this boy is a tragedy but it looks like we will never really know the true circumstances.

9. Hey, John maybe you should have just put him in the bathroom and steamed the sickness out of him, you know like your crazy church does in their detox to cure mental health diseases

10. something STINKS about this. from what we've heard, jett was unresponsive and presumed dead at the scene (as far as i remember, someone correct me). the problem is, if jett was deceased at the scene, why would this even come up? if, in fact, jett had a week pulse or was barely alive, the matter was an EMERGENCY. there should have been NO thought to fire up a plane and fly an hour away and, ESPECIALLY, no debate that requires paperwork and a signature! something is up, tmz, something is up!!!

11. NOT TO MENTION the time it took the paperwork-wielding EMTs to get there in the first place!

12. what's worth $20 million is if their services were refused.

13. HAVE WE AS AMERICANS NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN TO TALK ABOUT A FAMILY THAT'S GOING THROUGH THE MOST UNIMAGINABLE PAIN ANY PARENT CAN EXPERIENCE? WHO ARE WE TO HAVE AN OPINION, THE TRUTH IS NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO REACT WHEN A TRAGEDY LIKE THIS KNOCKS ON YOUR DOOR. AND THESE PEOPLE WHO COULD EVEN THINK OF TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE DEATH OF A CHILD TO MAKE PROFIT HAVE NO HEART. AS A MOTHER OF 2 CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS AND AS A PARENT PERIOD MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE TRAVOLTA FAMILY MAY GOD GIVE YOU THE STRENGH TO GO ON. GOD BLESS YOU!

EXACTLY Right! If you watched TomCruise's crazy Scientology recruitement video from Gawker, He said it himself..."It's not like anyone else can help! You're the ONLY one that can do anything about it" etc...

John wanted to make sure only a Scientologist had access to his son. He wanted to make sure his son death was handled properly. This is NOT the first time the clams have staged death scenes, and manipulated them. John and the rest of his cult are being disgusting. Poor Jett never had a chance being born into this cult family.

15. The problem is in these islands they work on island time, they are very slow, it takes along time to get to the hospitals from the resort areas... John flys and has his own plane so I can see how he would think he could make it to fl a lot faster, he has a private runway at his house in ocala where he could have a ambulance waiting for him and it would get him to the hospital a lot faster than in the bahamas
