I guess it depends on the outcome. If you attack the hijacker and are successful then you are a hero. If you fail, then a couple of things could happen.
You could be the guy that wouldn't go out without a fight, or the idiot that got a plane full of people killed. It all depends on perspective. In the past hijackings were not to obtain a weapon(the airplane) but to get somewhere, obviously there are exceptions, however this was the basic idea. Society didn't change; the circumstances did, in the past if the people knew the plane would become a weapon, at that point it would be acceptable to try and stop it. > -----Original Message----- > From: jon hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, December 02, 2002 5:34 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: England's Crime Rate highest in the world > > Do you think it was ever not socially acceptable to use violence on > airplanes to stop hijackings?
