Sorry if you find this topic offensive.
Do you fight back or do you freeze when the plane you were on was hijacked?
I would fight back. I need the help of the person seated next to me. We just have to wait for the right time to get him (hijacker) down on the floor.
If you are seated next to me, would you help?

Hi! Interesting topic, tomitomi. As for me, I think that I would let the men do all the fighting and I would just sit in a corner and pray that I would still be able to see my family and loved ones and that everything would turn out alright.
may just turn out Ok for everyone onboard and their families. You have been a help.
Thanks so much!

Hmm.. well.. I would just pray? That's all I would do, coz' in fighting back, people would get injured and if unfortunate, the hijackers might even turn more violent. So I guess I would leave the fight back and protection thing to God.

Hi tomi~ I don't know what to say! I would try to help if I
could! I'm not very strong, but can be when I'm really angry!
And I'm sure that would get me really angry so I wouls do
whatever I could to help if there was a hijacker on the plane!
I don't want to die in a plane crash! I hate flying as it is!

Hi Opal!
You would probably have seen the show even if it wasn't the one I watched. There were just all kinds of people onboard. But they all shared a common goal. And to me that made the show wonderful. I don't want to die in a plane crash either. I know many who hate flying but sometimes we don't have a choice but to fly. Anyway, even by nodding your head you made wonderful things possible. Thanks for being a help!

generally the hijackers dont have anything dangerous except weapons so we need to get their weapons first.and then only we can control them . if i would be on the next seat to u ,i'll definitely help u.but btw whats the purpose of asking this discussion ?? do u feel that your plane will get hijacked in future??

Thanks for your help abj!
This was shown on tv. I could have just switched it off or changed the channel but I didn't. Instead I got to watch the beauty of the human spirit. I'm appreciating my family and the people around a lot more.
Thanks for sharing!
