A phone call would have stopped all this! OK, the radio broke down, wouldn't a phone call to the tower avoided all this show of force and passenger aggravation? | ||

I am sure that a mandatory response to the alarm is the policy. People tend to say what the gunman wants to hear when they have a gun held at their head. Situation needs to be checked out by law enforcement. | |||

Better safe than sorry. Airline staff (including pilots) need better training. BH63 Hunting buff is better than sex! | |||

Would a phone call to the tower have helped? Sure, got the number? I might have been able to find it in, oh, 10 minutes or so. And if I did, AFTER using the hijack code, NO phone call would have mattered. Armed response was gonna happen just like it did. Sorry bout that, y'all remember 9/11? What did they expect? Oh, sorry bout that we screwed up? ONCE that code is used, you ARE going to be boarded and searched. End of discussion. | |||

No one used a hijack code. And hwo come an airliner has only one radio operational? | |||

Apparently the various media sources are reporting different things but from what I gathered he was texting and hit the wrong code number. Instead of radio not working he texted hijack. Since I don't personally know the rules in this case the boarding by law enforcement may have been inevitable. But it seems to me if the two codes are so close together it must have happened before somewhere and there must be a way I would think to override it?
