Hijacked EgyptAir plane landed at Larnaca airport...

[Mackenzie]

Is he having a moment to think about what he's done?

Just finishing his duty free.

 

[Bozza]

"I'm not leaving this plane until Crystal Palace win a league game."

I hope he packed supplies.

 

[Pavilionaire]

He'll be out soon enough. There's only so long a man can survive on little bags of peanuts and mini cans of Coke. At least when he does emerge he should smell nice from all the Duty-Free aftershave.

He has not thought this through. By hijacking an internal flight, there will be no duty free.

They may try and flog some bits on an internal flight, but the selection will not be as good as long haul.

Poor planning by this chap.

Or he doesn't have a real suicide belt on him and has constructed a fake one from things which are allowed through security.

At this stage none of us have any idea what's going on.

maybe its a lego suicide bomber kit...

He is now saying that he did think of that, but the alternative was Ryanair and he did not want to pay the ridiculous excess charge for the suicide belt, they offered to put it in the hold but he said they were missing the point.

Reporting on this is all over the place... very strange stories and counter-stories coming out...

Suggestions he is now making demands about the freeing of prisoners... odd thing for a lovelorn vet to be doing??

I'm sure I've read somewhere that the Vet was in fact one of the Passengers who got released.

Very odd all the same.

He did book on Ryanair for an earlier attempt but was passed off when they landed at larnaca Southend and he was going to be bussed the rest of the way.

More people leaving the plane... including one climbing out of the cockpit window!

Reports that he's let out all the hostages and is on his own in the plane.

Something ain't right.

Something ain't right.

Sky reporting probably 3 left onboard.

 

[Fred Oliver - Legend]

Sky news saying its now over.

 

[Triggaaar]

Sky news saying its now over.

When do we find out if he actually had a bomb? Or is he mentally ill?

 

[Pavilionaire]

Is he just SH1T at geography - said Larnaca, meant Ankara?

That never bothers Sky news!

He'll be disappointed with that pronunciation

Not connected with terrorism , just a plain old run of the mill hijacking

Ah that takes me back to the news of my yoof.

In the good old days you could storm the cockpit, divert the plane, land safely, and finish it all off with a nice media standoff.

Not knowing where you'd land was one of the joys of flying.
