Hijacker restrained/We don't need no FFDO's

[BobDDuck]

I don't have the source for this article, but there were stories on CNN about it.

Along the way, speaking to the hijacker, the pilot realized the man did not speak French. So he used the plane's public address system to warn the passengers in French of the ploy he was going to try: brake hard upon landing, then speed up abruptly. The idea was to catch the hijacker off balance, and have crew members and men sitting in the front rows of the plane jump him, the Spanish official said.
The pilot also warned women and children to move to the back of the plane in preparation for the subterfuge, the official said.
It worked. The man was standing in the middle aisle when the pilot carried out his maneuver, and he fell to the floor, dropping one of his two 7 mm pistols. Flight attendants then threw boiling water from a coffee machine in his face and at his chest, and some 10 people jumped on the man and beat him, the Spanish official said.

Good thinking Cap'n!

Can't wait till the movie comes out!

I am surprised this has not been posted yet, After the plane was apparently hijacked by a lone gunman. Pilot lands brakes hard and then accelerates so the gunman falls down, the FA throws hot water at his face then the passengers tackle him on the ground. looks like they had a few tense but interesting minutes in the plane:

Good for them. I think a potential hijacker needs to think twice about hijacking a plane these days.

I'm telling you, I'd beat him with the sharp, pointy end of the crash axe screaming "MORRRRTAL KOMBAAAAAAT"

Then have the skipper say 'FINISH HIM...'

I am surprised that the UAL pilot didnt decap the guy when he got his head into the cockpit a few years ago! Why use the blunt end when you have a nice sharp end???

yea see i would love for someone to come at me with a box cutter or some other contraband while im sitting fat dumb and happy up in the cockpit (flightdeck). i would love to have a guy up front with me like seggy's size as well. i owuld try to tear his limbs off. i dont think that is out of line either. you put me and my passengers in danger im going to make you pay. that is if i dont kill you by jumping up and down on your head. im sorry for the explosive posts but this crap sends me off the deep end.

Actually, it should be more like this:

Hijacking on the ground precautionary checklist:

1. Once hijacker is subdued
2. Set parking brake
3. Increase thrust to #1 above 80%
4. Open main cabin door
5. Toss hijacker to the blades

Note: Ensure CNN cameras are running…

See, that where I have the advantage of previous training. I know exactly where a little pressure or laceration will cause great harm to normal physiologic function. Take about 2 sec to solve the problem. Then the ax is a good idea. Safety first!

[bdhill1979]

Doug, something tells me you have had a few daydreams about handling hijackers. I dig it.

You and Seggy would make a cute couple on the flight deck
I'm sure when passengers would see you guys walking to the gate they would think WWF wrestlers came to fly planes.

Air Mauritania identified the heroic pilot as Ahmedou Mohamed Lemine, a 20-year-veteran of the company.


that sounds like a middle eastern name.... good muslims vs. bad muslims
