let's talk about a hijacked commercial flight the most bizarre thing about this
is that the hijacker was the copilot
this is an Ethiopian Airlines copilot who hijacked a plane that was bound for
Rome
and then fluid instead to geneva where according to officials the copilot
wanted to seek asylum
there are many ethiopians who are very interested in in some cases desperate to
seek asylum in other countries
the copilot thinking I will hijack the plane
above this government-run airline and try to get myself to geneva
it did not work particularly well this was a Boeing 767 with about 200
passengers and crew
it took out took off from the Ethiopian capital
and landed in geneva later than it was supposed to land in Rome
and the most interesting thing about this is that the Yahoo news report about
this hijacking said that
those on board didn't realize that a hijacking had taken place because the
plane was flying normally
just to a different destination however there's a huge
read it ask me anything that was done where one of the passengers on the
flight said
that is flat-out wrong we were fully aware that the plane had been hijacked
we were sitting there was about midnight and then the
oxygen masks dropped we thought it was some kind of a glitch because the plane
was in
was there was no turbulence there was no reason to think that we needed those
those oxygen masks shortly after that
we hear a very creepy voice over the intercom saying the plane has been taken
over
and then there are some significant dissent in a sense in the plane's
changing altitude
and then this is the most incredible thing 6 hours
over normal flying during which at least some of the passengers including the guy
who did the reddit ask me anything
said we thought we were just waiting to die and
imagine that Lewis 6 hours on a hijacked plane
seemingly everything is normal on the plane accept that you know it's been
hijacked
and you assume it's eventually going to be crashed in some kind of 9/11 type
situation that has to be
absolute torture yeah that is
I not a pleasant situation by I
wish we had a bit more information it's interesting that
this pilot chose Switzerland I recently just read that switzerland is
considering
closing its doors pretty much to do immigrants
I'm and now this guy's seeking asylum they're
very strange story a few minutes after landing in geneva the copilot
left the cockpit using a rope and then went directly to the police forces that
were surrounding the plane
he announced I and the hijacker this plane
it's not immediately clear why specifically he wanted asylum but as I
said
there are many asylum seekers in ethiopia
just for her I don't know what I would do if I was on the plane
the the pilot had been locked out above the cockpit when he went to the bathroom
that's when the copilot lock them out
and hijacked the plane so if the pilot doesn't even think that they're able to
get back into the cockpit to take control
I don't know what I would have done for those six hours on that play
yeah I wonder this will somehow change
I security measures on a plane I mean now maybe perhaps you will have some
type of
I don't know access code about you getting from
you know passenger side or something like that I don't know
yeah let's take a break next we will talk patriot male
I also want to talk about a elected official
who threw his kid don't worry he's pro-family
and he's also pro-life so nothing to worry about there will take a break a
lot more coming up today glad you're with us
