So the glorious BBC has just had a very quick and cut-short interview with a Jamaican Radio News Reader who confirmed that the hijacker got onto the aircraft when it was ready to leave, and that all the pax have been released.
She said that the FO and Cabin Crew were still on with the hijacker and that there was a stalemate going on in negotiations as the police had brought the hijackers father to talk to him.
Unfortunately the BBC then cuts to the riveting speech that Gordie is about to give to UK business men...brilliant...no one asks about the state of the captain.
