Which was? Just curious, not claiming that anyone's memory is faulty. There's been a couple of recent incidents where non-British aircraft hijacked *elsewhere* ended up in the UK, supposedly because the British hostage-crisis types have a good reputation for dealing with these things without bloodshed. Can't recall any aircraft being hijacked in (or after departing from, I guess) Britain in the last decade. Now that I've foolishly joined this thread, I stand ready to be corrected though :-) Scott -- =========================================================================== Scott Mitchell | PGP Key ID | "Eagles may soar, but weasels Cambridge, England | 0x54B171B9 | don't get sucked into jet engines" s.mitchell@computer.org | 0xAA775B8B | -- Anon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
