What would realistically happen???

[troy]

I wonder if I could kill someone with a spork?

But, for the sake of discussion and investigating scenarios, what if the hijacking is real and the device the hijacker is using to bolster his/her threat is an explosive device that can be detonated by any or all triggers after being armed:

1. A 5x5 broadcast on 121.5

2. A loud sound.

3. A tilting of the device.

4. The press of a switch.

5. The release of a switch.

6. The removal of trip or booby trap wires.

7. Depressurization of the plane.

8. The expiration of a designated period of time.


What, pray tell, would the intervention of the passengers have anything to do with the outcome of the hijacked flight?

Well for one thing the flight would be destroyed while in the air instead of being used for a suicide missle like 9-11. I'd rather go fighting. If you're gonna die anyway, why let a terrorist have a successful mission?

Call in Team America, they'll take care of it.

That's true, but if the evidence points to you causing the terrorist to set the bomb off, I won't get as much money from that lawsuit if my wife or parents are on the flight.

If I was sitting in the seat behind you would feel my arm around your throat whilst at the sametime ramming the stylus pen from my PDA through your eye socket into your brain.

Probably shouldn't have made the comment about the stylus pen from your PDA. Now TSA will be taking those away

Why not give it a try and let us know what happens.

I'm with Junkflyer - give it a shot and let us know what happens...I think the prison system allows you internet access.

...if you were onboard a commercial airliner, at altitude, stood up in your seat, and yelled: "THIS IS A HIJACK"!!!

I don't know, but I bet the widow of that guy who was shot and killed on the jet-bridge in Miami, while having a nervous break-down, could give you some insight into this question.
