Hijacked!

The four airplane hijackings, which were part ofrepparttar tragic events of September 11, 2001 were not typical. These sickos were not seeking escape from political persecution, nor were they interested in money. They intended to die and to take everyone else with them. Based on available information we have to conclude that there was nothing those poor passengers could have done to save themselves. They were doomed fromrepparttar 102087 beginning.

In a "normal" hijacking, however, passengers at least have some chance of survival. And following can increase that a few guidelines:

First, do your best to remain calm, and encourage those around you to dorepparttar 102088 same. The hijackers are probably extremely nervous and scared, so comply with whatever they tell you to do. Do nothing to draw attention to yourself. You want to be just another face inrepparttar 102089 crowd. Do not attempt to hide your passport or your valuables.

If one ofrepparttar 102090 hijackers speaks to you, reply in a calm, normal Voice. Passrepparttar 102091 time by unobtrusively taking mental notes onrepparttar 102092 characteristics and behavior ofrepparttar 102093 hijackers. Give each one a nickname. Notice their manner of dress, facial features, mannerisms and temperament (but don't be obvious aboutrepparttar 102094 interest you are taking in them.) If you or a nearby passenger is in need of assistance due to illness or other discomfort, ask a member ofrepparttar 102095 crew for assistance first. Do not attempt to approachrepparttar 102096 hijackers unless they have already rendered assistance to another passenger. If you are singled out be responsive but do not volunteer information.
