PHOTO:British guy took a photo with the EgyptAir hijacker before he was arrested! LOL

-

A British man who was held hostage on the EgyptAir plane took a grinning selfie with the hijacker.


Obviously, why wouldn’t you?
Ben Innes, originally from Leeds but now living in Aberdeen, snapped a picture with the Egyptian man who is now being held after hijacking a domestic flight which was forced to land in Cyprus.
Officials claim hijacker of Flight MS181 Seif Eldin Mustafa is psychologically unstable and the incident was not being investigated as an act of terrorism.
He allegedly forced the flight – which was intended to land in Cairo – to redirect to Larnaca so he could pass a message to his ex-wife, who lives in Cyprus.
Despite the potentially life-threatening situation, Innes fancied a snap with the hijacker.
He sent the image to friends, along with the message: ‘You know your boy doesn’t f*ck about. Turn on the news lad.’
It’s believed Innes approached Mustafa for a picture while he and other passengers were being held hostage on the tarmac.
His flatmate, Chris Tundogan said  ‘I have no idea why he took the selfie but I imagine he probably volunteered to take it as he’s no afraid to shy away from anything.’

The Egyptian Civil Aviation Ministry said the foreigners on board included eight Americans, four Britons, four Dutch, two Belgians, a French national, an Italian, two Greeks and one Syrian. Three other foreigners could not be identified.
The initial group of passengers released by the hijacker was seen calmly walking off the plane down a set of stairs, carrying their hand luggage and boarding a bus. 
Security was tight at the airport, with police repeatedly pushing back reporters and TV crews working just outside the fence, near where the aircraft stopped. Police also evacuated a nearby beach popular with tourists.
Egyptian passenger Farah el-Dabani told the Dubai-based Al-Arabiyah TV network that the hijacker was seated in the back of the aircraft and that it was the crew who told passengers that the plane was being hijacked.
‘There was panic at the beginning, but the crew told us to be quiet. They did a good job to keep us all quiet so the hijacker does not do anything rash,’ she said in a telephone interview.


The incident raised questions about security at Egyptian airports, five months after the Russian aircraft crashed minutes after it took off from Egypt’s Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.
