    ...and it is being hijacked. (i wonder what the inspiration for this thread is) you have two choices, either comply with hijackers or resist and risk a bomb / gun going off. What would you do and why?
    Personally I'd resist. Regardless of whether you or other passengers are injured the risk of hitting a building is too great to let it happen.

    Pop quiz, hotshot. There's a bomb on a bus. Once the bus goes 50 miles an hour, the bomb is armed. If it drops below 50, it blows up. What do you do? What do you do?

    How do you know the retards are going to crash the plane into a building

    Nearly all aircraft hijackings have ended peacefully???


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,463 ✭✭✭Solnskaya


    i'd be too busy feeling airsick to give a damn. I'd probably hope they killed me quick to end my misery and my tobacco withdrawal symptoms. Feckin hate flying

    You will absolutly never know till you are in that situation as your mindset now will be so much different from what it will be should that ever happen and hopefully you will never get to prove me right or wrong;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,843 ✭✭✭jluv


    My son has an American and Irish passport and I always tell him. In times of trouble lose the american one! Everyone loves a paddy...

    Death is about as peaceful as you can get.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 644 ✭✭✭wolf moon


    Resist. I always fight against.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,228 ✭✭✭epgc3fyqirnbsx


    If you saw on the TV screens that there were hi-jacked planes that were after crashing into various targets and your plane just got hi-jacked then yeah, I think I'd be of the mentality that I was dead anyway but it wasn't gonna happen by these f*cks terms


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,543 ✭✭✭JerryHandbag


    The monkey priest from Father Ted. He'd sort them hijacking fcukers out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,171 ✭✭✭af_thefragile


    call for a party?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 191 ✭✭Sarah?


    I'd grab the nearest dog toy telephone and call for help.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 431 ✭✭aido179


    yes its controversial, yes it is totally fictitious but sure why not!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,201 ✭✭✭✭Pherekydes


    There's a trapdoor that leads to the undercarriage. From there you can jump and have a nice soft landing in a swamp. You should evacuate as many of the passengers as you can by this method. Before jumping, you should dump as much of the fuel as you can. There'll be a big switch labelled "Fuel Dump".

    P.S. The most beautiful stewardess may want to have your babies, but be careful, she may be in league with the terrorists.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,973 ✭✭✭SafeSurfer


    If it was a Ryanair flight I would comply fully with all the hijackers demands and add a few of my own.

    can't practise that. You only get one go at it. Unless you miss. Then Osama would laugh at you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,674 ✭✭✭Dangerous Man


    I would insist on not calling the hijackers hijackers. I'd call them hijackeens.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,900 ✭✭✭General General


    How about the question, do you shoot down a plane that's got 100 people on board as it's been hijacked or let it possibly fly into a building, killing 1000 people (+ the 100 on the plane)??

    Two question marks there for obvious reasons.

    My answer: I wud imput the data intoo a compudter und avait its concloosions.

    Make them watch Airplane with Leslie Nielson?

    I'd probably be "Ah - feck it, gonna die anyways" and do a remake of that scene in 28 days later where Cillian Murphy sticks his thumbs into that guys eye sockets!
    If I could do the stuff Tom Cruise does in Day and knight (or whatever the hell it's called) where he takes everyone out without really doing anything - well I'd do that but I'd probably be more likely to achieve the eyes into the sockets scenario. So, I'd go with that one....

    Sorry, what was the question..??

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,638 ✭✭✭F.U.B.A.R


    Well if the plain is definately going to crash and burn then I would feck em into the arse of the plane so they may have a chance of surviving with horrific injuries and then be taken to Gwantanamo Bay.....where they belong!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,739 ✭✭✭✭starbelgrade


    I'd order some drinks & have a cigarette.

    Things always seem better after a few drinks & a smoke.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,638 ✭✭✭F.U.B.A.R

    Hiyjacking or not, there's no better way to fly than to load yourself up with a few overpriced Becks and smokeless ciggies.:)
