Interesting......and impractical. Events that passengers find frightening freeze them. The course of action against a hijacker is to whisper to those seated nearby...Marines? Vets?......you'll find some who have been in the grinder and will react once they know others are with them.

Zero G's maneuver works well as long as everyone else is strapped in. Fun to watch too.

I remember recently a retired cop took on a perp in a commercial plane. None of the young boys would help. He found a marine captain sitting next to him to help. They both were in their 60’s or 70’s ?

The cops wife did not even look up from her book. She knew how it would end up.

She was not sure how the book would end up.

Would a dramatic pitch ( up or down ) or dramatic change of bank angle dump everyone in not strapped in ?

You might get some unset tourists and empty out the over head storage....

It would be fun to take the terrorists off their feet ? Who then could be attacked.
