The moral of this story is: Don’t try to hijack a plane in China.
Two would-be plane hijackers were beaten to death by passengers and
crew aboard a flight bound for the regional Chinese capital of Urumqi on
Friday, The Global Times reports. The men died in the hospital from the injuries they suffered at the hands of those whom they thought would be their victims.
There were a total of six men involved in the foiled plot to hijack
the Tianjin Airlines flight. All of the men were reportedly Uyghurs, a
local Muslim ethnic minority.
Less than 10 minutes after the plane took off from Hotan airport in
southwest Xinjiang, China at 12:25 a.m., the men, aged 20 to 36,
announced their intentions to horrified passengers and attempted to
storm the cockpit using a “broken crutch” made of aluminum as a weapon.
