For a change a hijacking took place for love instead of hate. Don't punish the hijacker. Just charge him for the fuel.#EgyptAir

Meanwhile the Egyptian officials have said that they were also investigating if the weapons carried by hijacker were real or not.
Now after having read the whole article, you need to read this as well. And it's kind of much serious.
All jokes aside; the fact the #EgyptAir hijacker was able execute this is highly disturbing. We're lucky it wasn't real terrorist attack.
