What I survived
Pan Am Flight 73: The 1986 Karachi Hijacking P2

And she said, I don't know.

What I survived
Pan Am Flight 73: The 1986 Karachi Hijacking P2

He was here.

What I survived
Pan Am Flight 73: The 1986 Karachi Hijacking P2

I'm sure he was here.

What I survived
Pan Am Flight 73: The 1986 Karachi Hijacking P2

And she said that they spent a couple of minutes searching the cockpit, you know, in sort of open cupboards.

What I survived
Pan Am Flight 73: The 1986 Karachi Hijacking P2

And they went back downstairs and said, we can't find the captain.

What I survived
Pan Am Flight 73: The 1986 Karachi Hijacking P2

Went back upstairs with the leader who noticed the open hatch.

What I survived
Pan Am Flight 73: The 1986 Karachi Hijacking P2

Then he's got to change his plan because he wanted to fly somewhere immediately.

What I survived
Pan Am Flight 73: The 1986 Karachi Hijacking P2

And now he hasn't got a pilot.

What I survived
Pan Am Flight 73: The 1986 Karachi Hijacking P2

So then they came back downstairs.

What I survived
Pan Am Flight 73: The 1986 Karachi Hijacking P2

So all of this must have taken some time.

What I survived
Pan Am Flight 73: The 1986 Karachi Hijacking P2

I can't remember.

What I survived
Pan Am Flight 73: The 1986 Karachi Hijacking P2

I was just sort of

What I survived
Pan Am Flight 73: The 1986 Karachi Hijacking P2

frozen still.

What I survived
Pan Am Flight 73: The 1986 Karachi Hijacking P2

And then they said, everybody up, everybody back.

What I survived
Pan Am Flight 73: The 1986 Karachi Hijacking P2

And in this changed situation, they needed to clear the front of the plane so that they have a sort of secure area to control the situation from.

What I survived
Pan Am Flight 73: The 1986 Karachi Hijacking P2

And so, you know, here I am on my first ever business class flight.

What I survived
Pan Am Flight 73: The 1986 Karachi Hijacking P2

I'm being downgraded quite early on.

What I survived
Pan Am Flight 73: The 1986 Karachi Hijacking P2

And like a good civilian, I picked up my hand luggage and walked with it down the aisle, one hand up, one hand holding the hand luggage.

What I survived
Pan Am Flight 73: The 1986 Karachi Hijacking P2

Because, you know, it's more important to me than my life, this hand luggage.

What I survived
Pan Am Flight 73: The 1986 Karachi Hijacking P2

Ridiculous.
