foiled all because... Hijacker didn't know french

THE STRAITS TIMES FEBRUARY 18, 2007

Pilot used the language to tell passengers to prepare for fightback. this happened when the pilot was negotiating with the hijacker, to where the plane should land, the pilot then realised that the hijacker does not understand french and used that against him to save the 731 passengers and the 8 crew members. although this seemed like a action pact ed show whereby the the hero saves the day or an unpractical plan could save the day, but this is a reality whereby the pilot gave an ingenious idea to save the precious human lives. i think this is a wonderful thing that the hijacking did not take place, otherwise the consequence will be dire, be it political, economical or socially.
