Maybe it was a late audition for the next cadbury's milk tray man.

Not so funny for anybody, passengers, flight crew, absolutely shitting themselves on that plane. Or anybody waiting for news of their loved ones on the ground. Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades should have a rare moment of insight and resign immediately. Complete

Agreed, odd comment.

To be fair, the quote was made AFTER the situation had been resolved peacefully.

I'm pretty sure it was still ongoing but might be wrong. The 'joke' was certainly reported on the live updates before reports the man had been arrested and all the hostages were safe...

I saw it shown on the news this morning. Totally unacceptable for a leader to be laughing and joking while there were still hostages on board. Complete clown.

No it wasn't, I saw it on the news this morning, before I posted on the hijack thread, long before it was over.

It seems quite an apt statement for me, a little bit of humour after the event when everyone was safe, rather than a terrorist event it was something far less sinister for all countries involved, and yes there usually is always a woman involved when a man does something absolutely stupid.

You mean like the promise of 72 virgins promised for gullible martyrs, terrorists or suicide bombers? Of 71 if they include themselves in the count.

There was only four and twenty virgins who came down from Inverness

So, were any of people shitting themselves known to you?

It wasn't after the event, otherwise I'd agree.
