Passenger attempts to enter coughpit on MH128

[Quickstatus]

8 minute response time in London.

Maybe the skybus fares went up again and they did not have enough $$$ and then had to wait for additional funding. Or Uber cancelled on them because they had guns - is that an Uber policy?

Though Uber is under fire for surge pricing during the incident.

Thanks! The pilot advised the condition, noted the intruder had bee restrained by passengers, he was in control, and requested security to apprehend.

He also wanted the claimed explosive device checked out.

He sounded calm and methodical. No injuries, no violence reported, no worries.

So what in this requires a squad in combat gear with assault rifles?

I can think of two things:
1. In a Chinese Whispers scenario the message is passed along in an increasingly garbled form until a combat squad is required to deal with the platoon of crazed terrorists who have slaughtered half the passengers.

2. The police are just making sure that whatever they find aboard the plane they can deal with and will take no casualties, and the passengers and crew will have to fight off the bad guys until they are good and ready to board.

IF there is a real threat to anybody's safety, then the primary objective is to get the passengers and crew to safety, surely? Perhaps a smart move would be to have someone board the plane on arrival and assess the situation if there is any doubt that the pilot is telling the truth.

I expect that this sort of response makes it likely that the crew will take removal of the passengers from the aircraft into their own hands in any future event. After 90 minutes I have no doubt that the police themselves represented the greatest threat to everyone. Sad, but, this is an event that would have to be the poster child for poorly handled.

Simplistic solution to the problem. Open the door and chuck him out!
Oh. is it a long drop to the ground.
Sorry.
