Would you stop a hijacker on board your flight?

Given the recent attacks in London with all these suicide bombers being attacked by a Millwan while passengers on a recent Malaysian flight to Melbourne tackled a man attempting to hijack a flight, I'm imagining a scenario closer to home;

If you were on an early morning flight from Dublin to London, Amsterdam, New York etc.. and three guys got up and tried to hijack the aircraft, would you be the 'hero' and try to tackle/beat them to death? There was a case of passengers on a Chinese flight in 2012 who did just that.

I'm a bit skeptical cause we Irish are stereotype for having a very lax system and being friendly to everyone. Do you think this extends towards terrorists? A

There's a poll so it'd be interesting to see what gender and your response is.

You don't have to hit some one too hard to knock them out. It's all about getting them in the right spots. I just happen to know where those points are

I hear Schwarzenegger channels you when preparing for action roles.

WWDBD is the new WWJD in times of peril.

So you still fancy your chances with dem dere dim-mak powers? Even though the terrorists have surgically removed their necks and filled in the death-touch points with riveted lumps of Japanese manufactured steel?

I reckon your careful manoeuvres would fall limp, like a crazed squid trying to lift weights.

I have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, fought in lots of competitions but when the **** is going down in the hood on a Saturday night and your boxing some fellow the lovely precise moves tend to slip.

Sometimes keepin it real is unreal when it is real.

Yes, with everything I had.

There's an excellent movie ( imo ) based on passengers trying to overthrow the hijackers on United flight 93, definitely worth a watch.

Funnily enough, I have the soundtrack 'The End - John Powell' on my mp3 player where the male passengers and hijackers finish it off.

Despite the fact that the official story could be a load of ****e, I still think the film had one of the best cinematography I've ever seen. It's a beautiful film.

Really?

Martial arts always give you an edge, not as much as people might think, but in a do-or-die situation it can make all the difference.

When five hijackers on board 4 planes armed with boxcutters believe that crashing hijacked airliners into buildings is going to get them lesbian virgins in heaven and that the infidels (i.e passengers on board...yes you) are in the way and need to be incapacitated and punished..

Yea. I don't think it looks good.

BUT.....when I'm on board a plane filled with drink, good food and luscious babes, armed with a box-opening wit, believe that landing in Las Vegas and heading to casinos is going to get me even more luscious babes and money in the hotel, and that the terrorists (ie the lunatic fanatics...yes them) are in the way and need to incapacitated and punished...

Yea. I don't think it looks too good for them.

It certainly does, at the very least you are used to being hit and having a flurry of them and kicks coming at you.

It is very different though from a competition or training at 3 in the morning in jeans and a coat.

Certainly makes a difference in who goes home sorer.

In a gang situation, always best to pick one fukko, and concentrate on him. One by one.

only a nightmare

i always observer the passengers BEFORE the flight,

if i see a dodgy kunt i'' ll report him,

before take off

I had an experience on a flight from Heathrow to Toronto in October 2001, one month after 9/11.

2 hours into the flight, an unusual looking guy made his way up to queue for the toilets. He stood staring back down at the rest of the passengers with a bit of a smirk, which I found un-nerving... and after about ten minutes he decided he didn't want to go to the toilet, and headed off towards the rear of the plane (maybe the toilets at the back).

I was partially relieved because I didn't like the look of him... so out of sight - out of mind etc. but after 10 minutes or so passed I started to wonder what he was doing down the back of the plane...

anyways, he reappeared and proceeded to stand on his seat in the middle aisle with his arms folded, staring straight in front of him, his head almost touching the ceiling of the plane.

I could feel the blood drain from my head and my heart was pounding, this is it... all my paranoid fantasies about plane hijack are coming true. I honestly thought that this was it, game over.

I thought about the guys on the plane who supposedly over-powered the hijackers during 9/11. I knew I could handle this guy if I wanted, I thought about using my belt to strangle him, or use a restraining hold which I know a few of. He wasn't the largest guy ever and Im 5' 11" and 15 stone... so fcuk it, I'll give it a go, and I was very close to doing this when a flight attendant approached him and asked him to sit down, and they got him something to eat and he was asleep 20 minutes later.

so, yes... I would have done it. I never thought I would be in that position, but I had made a plan on how to take this guy out of it.

Physically?

Sorry for asking it's just that a lot of women I meet say they wouldn't simply because the hijacker will most likely be male and stronger than them.

So if you guys aren't going to keep the fekers out of the cockpit, what exactly do you want us to do once they get inside the cockpit?
