Plane hijackers beaten to death

TWO men who allegedly tried to hijack a plane in China were beaten to death by passengers and crew.

The Global Times newspaper reported that two of the suspects died in hospital from injuries they suffered during the ensuing fight with passengers and crew on board.

The men were part of a six-strong gang involved in the foiled hijack of a Tianjin Airlines flight bound for the regional capital of Urumqi last Friday.

Just minutes after the flight took off from Hetian, southwest Xinjiang, the men, all aged between 20 and 36, stood up and announced their plans to terrified passengers.

The gang reportedly broke a pair of aluminium crutches and used them to attack passengers while attempting to break into the cockpit, Hou Hanmin, a regional government spokeswoman said.

They were tackled by police and passengers who tied them up with belts before the plane, carrying 101 people, returned to the airport safely just 22 minutes later. More here:

 

Yes, well, I sure hope they hold the "beaters" accountable, don't you?  This was an OBVIOUS case of using excessive force (as any good lib would tell you.)  Oh, wait, this didn't happen in the United States.  So the "perps" will get off scot free.

Keep voting for idiot libs so we can have more idiot laws.
