Posing for a picture with your hijacker

rob316

What does everyone think of the guy posing with the Egyptian hijacker yesterday?

Got to say in a time where suicide bombers are now seemingly a regular occurrence posing with a guy who threatened to blow you to kingdom come is a slightly a bit idiotic.
I'm not PC mad one bit but I would go as far to say its pretty disrespectful to the families of people who have died at the hands of suicide bombers, seen this clown posing with one.

Sums up for me how utterly **** this social media age is.

Meh.

I was more concerned with people calling it a selfie, tbh,

It would have been funny if the looney tune "bomber" was smiling too.

catbear

it might have been obvious to the captives that the guy was pretty harmless and so maybe the photo thing was a positive in reducing the anxiety on board the plane and made disembarking an easier and safer task for everyone.

I"m reluctant to judge anyones reaction when put in an extreme situation without their consent.

Looking at his size, I thought the bloke in the blue shirt had more explosives on his waist.

I notice the picture is cropped to the top half of his body!

If the guy was Irish we'd never hear the end of how much of a "legend" he is.

kneemos

It was a stewardess that took the picture,obviously the whole thing was a farce.

gramar

Better to be taking a picture than mourning a tragedy.

The 'hijacker' is a bit famous too.

If there's a chance you're about to get blown to bits then you might as well have a laugh for your final few hours.

get over yourself will you

how can you make the leap that his actions in one incident is disrespectful to others in an entirely different incident(s) ?? seriously.

Judging somebody regarding a situation that you weren't in is just thick.

I think the lad is a legend and fair play to him .

Fratton Fred

I'd imagine that by this time, the few remaining passengers had sussed that the hijacker was a spoofer and they were just killing time (for want of a better phrase)

What a legend though, this should earn him a few free pints.

A legend? Fair enough, you must be about 16 so for this to appeal to you.

The guy was by that time quite obviously bluffing and so the guy took a chance, whats the worst that could have happened?

Your a bit sad if this is the worst thing to have happened to your tiny enclosed view of the world.

In fairness, I'd say they knew at that stage that he had hotdogs strapped around his waist for dynamite and his thumb and forefinger for a gun.

Or perhaps for that behemoth of a guy to floor the weedy little **** and put an end to the whole nonsense? Clearly they guy wasn't holding on to any 'trigger'.
