Hijack Exercise

In a mock exercise conducted today at the Bangalore international airport, the hijack of a Dubai-bound aircraft was foiled without bloodshed, though a passenger was "killed" and two others "injured".

Flying at 34,000 feet over the Bering Strait, the Russian pilots had a singular focus: making sure they smoothly received the hand-off of a "hijacked" jetliner from their US-Canadian counterparts.
