Yes, but they also said they had a bomb. History tells us that hijackings usually end without mass loss of life. They had no way of knowing the agenda here was any different.

Exactly. Before 9/11 had I been on a hijacked flight I would have sit tight. This suicide flight is absolutely unheard of. I don't think it will occur again. I think if I got on a plane tomorrow and it was hijacked, I'd assume the hijackers were going to crash it. I don't know of anyone who would have assumed this before today.

Exactly --- from know on, any hijacker will be torn apart by a pack of wolves. There is nothing to lose now.
