  • Turkish Airline Hijacked!

    CNN just reported this:

    A flight from Ankara to Istanbul was hijacked upon takeoff, and is now heading towards Greece!

        It merely said it was heading towards Greece, Boshko... it might not stop there.

          194 people on board Turkish airliner. No info on hijackers at this time. There may be two deputies of the Turkish ruling party on the plane.

                Bit of a problem getting details from the ground with the more active OT Greek posters like Paiktis being banned for the coming weeks (or months?)
                Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

                    Does anyone have any updates who is behind this, motives and what are they planning to do?
                    They want to go to Germany? Why?! What is this..

                        Okay I admit it. I was wrong. After those evil maniacs attacked the US on 9/11 I predicted that conventional hijackers would be out of business because passengers would always try to overpower them.

                          Apparently Turkish passengers are used to hijackings that end peacefully. For some reason all the hijackers want to go to Germany.

                            What I never got was all those people that hijack a plane for the express purpose of forcing it to take them somewhere.

                            Have these folks never considered simply buying a ticket?

                              Yeah, and it's not that it will make them famous or something. Noone will actually know the name of the person. Heck, tens of airplane hijacking occur each year, does anyone actually remember specifics?

                              didn't think so.
