Surviving a hijacking the Tajik way
BoingBoing ^ | 9/15/2004

Handy advice (from one of those airline folders in the back of the seat) on what to do if your Tajik Air flight is hijacked. Apparently, it has a great deal to do with fondling space aliens, mutant airplane doors that eat people, but definitely not drinking. I'm guessing from the pictures. Last few lines of each section are in English. Sort of. Do not express you angry, do not wipe in voice, our cough. Close your eyes and do not stir them.

I wouldn't be caught dead on Tajik Air, or then again, maybe I might, but I doubt hijacking will be the cause of my demise.

Hilarious stuff. It must be real, because you can't make stuff like this up. To save you the trouble following links, here's the item...

My russian comes handy once again, here's what they mean:

Do not express you angry, do not wipe in voice, our cough - Do not express your anger, cry loudly, blow your nose or cough. I guess wipe = weep? Where did you see the "Close your eyes and do not stir them"?

Why not a Glock built into every passenger seat back, with glass imprinted:

"In Case Of Terrorists, Break Glass."


Or a couple of Roman candles and matches....
Then have a little fire extinguisher handy....

I saw it in the last section of text. I think they mean don't rub your eyes.

My favorite, Unquestionably, obit to the demand of terrorists, and then the assents of special task force who should deliver hostages.

I wonder if this is just a prank?

My favorite is "In case of shooting,lie down and have a shelter behind your seat. Do not run away."

Its a friggin airplane, where the hell you gonna run.

They obviously have entrenched bureaucratic cartoonists who missed 9/11. Maybe they're just using up their old material as a cost saving measure. I'm sure the new printing will have information about taking out the terrs as you are going to die anyhow.
