Pilot Didn't Wait For New Gov't Hijack Rules
A World War II combat veteran tells NewsMax.com that our soldiers
prevailed in D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge because they were
trained to think on their feet: If a sergeant fell on the
battlefield a quick-thinking private would immediately take his
place.
Not so the Nazis, who were lost the minute their units were
decapitated.
That spirit of independence and ingenuity was on display last
Saturday aboard United Airlines Flight 564 in Denver.
A passenger described what happened shortly after takeoff to the
Washington Times' John McCaslin, who shared this account with his
readers Thursday:
"I want to thank you brave folks for coming out today," the pilot
announced over the public address system. "We don't have any new
instructions from the federal government, so from now on, we're on
our own."
The passengers listened in total silence, McCaslin was told.
"Sometimes a potential hijacker will announce that he has a bomb.
There are no bombs on this aircraft and if someone were to get up
and make that claim, don't believe him. If someone were to stand
up, brandish something such as a plastic knife and say, 'This is a
hijacking' or words to that effect, here is what you should do:
"Every one of you should stand up and immediately throw things at
that person — pillows, books, magazines, eyeglasses, shoes —
anything that will throw him off balance and distract his
attention. If he has a confederate or two, do the same with them.
Most important: get a blanket over him, then wrestle him to the
floor and keep him there. We'll land the plane at the nearest
airport and the authorities will take it from there.
"Remember, there will be one of him and maybe a few confederates,
but there are 200 of you. Now, since we're a family for the next
few hours, I'll ask you to turn to the person next to you,
introduce yourself, tell them a little about yourself and ask them
to do the same."
At the end of that remarkable address, Flight 564's passengers gave
their pilot a rousing round of applause.
