'Hijacked' Ethiopian plane lands in Geneva

An Ethiopian plane bound for Rome has landed at Geneva Airport after a suspected hijacking, a spokesman of the airport told Reuters news agency.

Ethiopian Airlines flight 702 was reportedly denied permission to land and circled over Geneva for several minutes before it landed at the airport, which was closed by authorities.

A spokesman of the airline said all passengers and crew were safe.

Pilot did it

He hijacked himself?

"Take me to Geneva!"
"OK, after I've taken my schizophrenia meds".

Maybe one of the passengers managed to smuggle a pair of tweezers through airport security.

"Take me to Geneva or I'll pluck your nose hair!"

Co-pilot locked the pilot out of the cockpit after he went to the toilet.

I must admit, if the eventual destination was Rome he could have walked off and claimed asylum there. Perhaps the pilot was being mean to him?

Co-pilot to pilot through the door. "It's my turn to have a go."
