NO planes have been hijacked since 9/11.

Just last month an Ethiopian co-pilot hijacked his own flight from Rome to Geneva. Hard for passengers to stop such.

Why go to the trouble?

Maybe CNN did it to boost their ratings! It certainly been better for them than sucking up to Obama.

Actually, you’re right. And thats my theory. That the co-pilot (or pilot) took over the plane. But I think it was a suicide mission and got ditched somewhere in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Probably over a woman. Its always a woman.

Their is one important element you left out of this particular story. The hijacker turned off the cabin pressure and everyone was forced to breath using the emergency oxygen system. Had anyone not complied they would have died of asphyxiation. Someone on this thread asked how do you kill an entire plane of passengers...this is how.
