Johnnie Depp will play the pilot in an upcoming movie. Good ending I hear.

Every passenger on an airplane today is a deputy.
The days of easy hijacking are over. |

Hijackers should be fed to the plane reactors, by the crew members. Maybe that would dissuade them...

that'd be a great invention - aircraft bullets - hard enough to penetrate the soft and juicy organs of a human, but soft enough to not penetrate the fuselage.

Tiny holes from bullets would not have much effect on the pressurization of a commercial airliner cabin, from what I understand. And that's if any rounds even pierce the fuselage, what with all the upholstered furniture and bodies in its way.
Any of the people on those planes on 9/11 would have been glad to have had their plane ventilated like swiss cheese if it meant killing those bastards.

I saw this in the news. Great job on their part! Though obviously some folks, in other situations might go overbaord doing this, by and large I'm glad to see groups of people defending themselves in the wake of 9/11.

A few bullet holes in a pressurized airplane would not make a difference to the pressure system. They are already quite leaky, and the pressure is continually being pumped into the cabin to maintain pressure.
Not that I am for staging duals in flight or anything like that, it's just not the big deal that Hollywood has made it out to be. |

Anyone else wonder how he got 2 guns on the plane?

Excellent outcome!
As far as the low-velocity shells go, yes they've been around for years. The standard issue sidearm for Air Marshalls for many years was the "AirGuard" revolver, with low-V bullets. Still, if one is fired too close to a window or other sensitive area, you can get a decompression problem. Nothing's perfect.

A guy speaking Arabic with a first name of "Muhammed". Hmm. What a surprise, right?

Sub-Sonic frangible rounds are used often in black/spec. ops. They don't go through and they are silent when used with a suppressor. Same stuff is perfect for both airplanes and inside an apartment or house w/ drywall. Close range velocity can kill someone in a different room...like your kid. <<<< |
