I'm kind of surprised there weren't any Air Marshals on board especially from a higher risk country like Pakistan...
Great, I'm sure there would be a long list of Taliban applicants for that job ....:uhoh:

Well said. I'm astonished the air marshal argument is trotted out whenever something like this happens. Their case is massively flawed; surely the risks of having an armed potential rogue must approximate to that of a hijacker?

The two goons have gone on trial....

BBC News - Stansted emergency landing: Pair 'threatened to blow up plane'


The trial is expected to last five weeks.

I'm missing something here. A five week trial? Our legal system is out of touch with the real world, the world that pays its wages. Threaten aircraft = get arrested, go to court, have hearing (two hours?). Guilty = get sentence, innocent = walk. Done!

Well, need to allow plenty of time for the melodrama:


[Prosecutor Brian O'Neill QC] said: "That day Pakistan Airlines flight PK709 took off from Lahore heading for Manchester. It never arrived at its intended destination."
