Hey Jim... A Very Happy Birthday Bro..........Keep Smiling.... Things have been rough all around Take a look at this guys mistakes. Natural Selection at work Hijacker Found Dead; Homemade Chute Failed MANILA, Philippines (Reuters) - The body of a man who hijacked a Philippines passenger jet was found Friday buried deep in mud after his homemade parachute fell off when he jumped from the plane. ``The body was embedded in the ground with only the hands protruding,'' national police chief Panfilo Lacson told reporters after the body was discovered near a reservoir at Liabac, east of Manila. A homemade, lavender-colored parachute was found nearby. Liabac village chief Basilio Gesmundo told local radio he saw a parachute open after a person jumped from the Philippine Airlines Airbus A330 as it flew over his village Thursday. ``I saw the parachute separate from the person,'' he said. The pilot of the hijacked airliner described the hijacker as a jilted husband. He wore a blue bonnet and threatened passengers and crew with a grenade and a gun after he hijacked the domestic flight en route from Davao city to Manila on Thursday. After robbing the passengers and crew, he forced the pilot to take the plane down to 6,000 feet before jumping out. The plane later landed safely in Manila. It was the country's first hijacking since 1982. Senior superintendent Marcelo Ele, from the air force aviation security agency, said the man had never sky-dived before. ``I would say he's an adventurer or a man fantasizing about being a skydiver,'' he said. ``Using that kind of parachute would be plain and simple suicide.''
