It's on the ground now, so that's at least something

..let's hope that they get everyone off safely, without any loss of life...

Now saying a Bomb on board
Strapped on

..that's my worry, that the intention is to blow up the plane in full media coverage, rather than in mid-air..I hope that isn't the case, those poor, terrified people on board and the families and loved ones as well...

A deal breaker
they all die if Egypt does not release who they demand from their prisons


Just like the old days

Cyprus perfect place for these Terrorists

They got on with Guns?


How the hell did they let them do that?

Dodgy security, lax procedures, they learned nothing from the Russian plane or didn't want to learn, at least some passengers were let off which gives some hope, if tourism wasn't dead before, it's sunk now

Yes I think
Total Corrupt Staff at the Airport in Egypt

[The A320 airliner took off from Alexandria at 8am.]

8 Britons on Board
10 Americans

Absolutely terrifying for all concerned...

They will have to release the selected people
from the Egypt Prisons.


If the Do not all could Die

It will just be like the old days. Need to be prepared for the plane being stormed by Special forces (plenty UK forces there) or the plane being blown up.

Larnaca is a good airport, and they are well prepared.

Yes but any entry they will blow it up

50 released., some reports

so under 20 still on board

thats a bit better

..yeah, reports from Cyprus are saying that there are 15/20 people left on board but no mention of any demands as yet...

Its gets Worse
the ones left could be UK and USA



They are saying one Hijacker

Only non Egyptians left on board with the crew now

This won't end well, unfortunately :sad: these terrorists truly are cowards to threaten the lives of innocent people.

Not so band now he just wants Asylum

If it were ISIS no one would have got off that plane, security at Egyptian airports cannot be trusted now

...some reports are saying that there are now only four hostages left on-board, but I don't know how reliable the sources are...the Telegraph has said that one of the things he asked for was that a letter be sent to his ex wife, so this doesn't sound like a terrorist group thing, more someone acting alone...

Its reported that his wife is now on her way to the airport.

Is there really a suicide vest or is he bluffing?

News agencies and other reports are naming the hijacker as Ibrahim Abdel Tawwab Samaha, a professor of veterinary medicine at Alexandria university.

It's suggesting he's 27 which seems a bit young for that position and the photo of the guy looks a lo older.

Why are the people who were released just casually walking off as if it's normal? With one woman just standing at the top?
Surely they should be running off as quick as they can and be shaken up :conf2:

It's really odd.

Cypriot president Nicos Anastasiades said the incident was not terror related.

He added: "We are doing our utmost in order for everyone to be released and safe and to give an end to this unprecedented incident."

On the one hand it's great it's not terror related, on the other it's worrying how apparently easy it was for this guy working presumably on his own to take control of a plane

How on Earth did they get on board with a bomb/guns?

He may not have, would you want to tackle him to find out? :/

He..a lone person by the looks of things, he might be bluffing which has all sorts of implications for travel :umm2: and if he does have a gun/bomb the staff at the airport he travelled out of should be sacked :idc:

It's apparently just domestic and not terrorism

ah ok, just catching up with this story now, well hopefully he's just a hoax/bluff then :worry:

What's the betting it was the UK? :laugh:

He wants to speak to his ex wife :umm2: But even if he is bluffing and it now appears that he is, how easy was it for him to take control with no weapons :eek:

Yes Not Terrorism a Fecking Lovers Tiff

Yes Samm

Lovers Tiff

Well this is the thing, people are terrified because of all the ISIS stuff going on so it's instantly assumed that it's them I guess :/

Internal Egyptian flight I think flying from Alexandria to Cairo

Idiot.
Hopefully he get a good long jail sentence.
Incidents like this make you realise why they come down hard on hoaxers who think it is ok to joke about having a bomb etc.

Lucky for him he wasn't on an El-Al flight. He'd be dead now.
