And they say we’ve become desensitised.
You know the drill, you’re on a plane, looking to enjoy a holiday in Cairo… All of a sudden, your plane is hijacked by a guy with a suicide belt! What do you do?
There’s only one answer here, and that answer is make the most of this photo opportunity and get a photo with the guy who’s threatening to take you hostage.
After all, if you make it out alive (which, luckily, everyone did) you’re going to want some proof for everyone back home.
A guys actually took a selfie with the hijacker of #EgyptAir, mid-hijack!

We would advise, however, that if you ever find yourself in a hijacking situation – it might be best practice not to get too close to the man covered in explosives.
