SUMMARY

SKYJACK

Carl and Harla were on their way home from a business trip. Taken the plane everything was going well and Carl was happy because he couldn’t wait to see his children only that he wanted to be seen as a superhero by his children and in this he had failed because he had failed to appear in the newspaper. After almost an hour the stewardess, the captain and all the people who worked on the plane showed themselves for what it is, they had held all the passengers hostage. The captain repeats many times that nothing would happen to them, they just wanted to have the two brothers now in prison for a long time for making an explosion. When the state finds out about this he tries to fix it by saying that the two prisoners could not get back only that they did not like it so they decide to show what would happen if they did not give back the prisoners. They opened the door to the plane and threw a man down and shot him later. On the plane while there was a lot of excitement and passengers could not speak, get up and make any noise. The commanders had collected both phones and passports. The stewardess and the others had decided a time to get the prisoners back or all the people on the plane would die. Then the state decides to return one prisoner at a time only that half of the people should get off the plane.
