Reading the failed attempt in Greece I can only thank my lucky stars that we don't arm our prison guards.
I was, indeed, left handcuffed to B206L1 G-OLDN although the hijackers wanted to take me with them. I have always believed that I wasn't shot because they wanted a hostage. I managed to persuade the guy who hijacked me in the first place that leaving the controls with the rotors running would kill us both. Where that came from at that time I have no idea. Survival instincts I guess.
