EGYPTAIR FLIGHT HIJACKED

Woke up this morning to this breaking news and I'm just like "what is going on in the world???"


A hijacker took over an EgyptAir plane en route to Cairo from Alexandria on Tuesday morning and forced it to land in Larnaca, on the southern coast of Cyprus.
Most of the 56 passengers were released, but a tense standoff ensued for four hours, as the plane stayed on the tarmac. Three passengers, and five crew members including the pilot and co-pilot were still on board, along with the hijacker, EgyptAir said in a Facebook post at 12:15 p.m.

Although the hijacker claimed to be wearing a suicide belt and threatened to detonate it, officials in Egypt and Cyprus said they believed he may have been motivated by personal factors.

What kind of personal factor will make you hijack a plane with passengers from different parts of the world. Will be following this story.
