I'm glad no one was hurt (this time), but it could have gone down differently. That a number of passengers subsequently applied for asylum doesn't really change the fact that their lives were risked without their consent (and I have no problem giving the other passengers asylum if they want it--they didn't do anything wrong).

Did you support the invasion of Iraq. Or for that matter any war ever?
