'Eventuallly they managed to gain access to the cockpit and police were able to storm in and arrested the intruder,'
I have this image of several PCs fighting to enter the cockpit simultaneously . . .
Why would they need to 'storm in'? the guy wasn't likely to escape, was he?
I hope the police were suitably armed - it wouldn't look good if the guy had a gun . . .
if he had been a terrorist with the ability to handle the controls of a 747. Although it was away from the main runway, the plane could have caused a major incident and even worse, if it had taxied and taken off.
Now that
is silly!
