[uncleyap]

No One Was Arrested!

The 200 passengers of direct flight from ShangHai to Taipei were pissed when flight was delayed for 24hrs due to bad weather.

Initially the flight reached Taipei, but due to bad weather in Taipei, it was unsafe to land so it deflected back to ShangHai as a result and it awaited for weather situation to change before it fly again from ShangHai to Taipei.

This delay spent the passengers extra 24hrs. They got pissed and the hijacked the plane for about 1hour after it finally landed in Taipei, refusing to leave the plane. Civil Aviation Authority stepped in to resolve the dispute before the passengers agreed to leave the plane.

The entire hijack and stand off and protest were recored & broadcasted by news.

</td></tr> </tbody></table>這個週末，各地天氣不穩，大雨頻傳，從北到南都傳出淹水災情，空中交通也受到影響。昨天上午一架從上海飛台北的上海航空班機，疑似因為天候因素無法降落，又折返上海，結果直到今天中午，幾乎整整24小時之後，這架飛機才終於降落松山機場，旅客自認受到委屈，從上海吵到台北，決定霸機，雙方火爆的溝通場面，透過旅客的攝影機，通通被拍了下來。


霸機旅客：「休假了啦，沒人了啦，你不要擋在這邊。」


火氣早就爆發，2百多名乘客折返埔東機場的第一動作，就是包圍上海航空，一個個臉色都很難看，不是叉腰，就是抱胸，就是要航空公司交代清楚，究竟飛到台北又折返，是在搞什麼飛機。霸機旅客：「公安來囉！」


一 等再等，氣氛從火爆變僵持，連公安都出動了，上航的主管還是不見人影，身穿紅色polo衫的旅客，指著櫃檯員工叫罵，越說越激動，氣到拍桌。霸機旅客： 「我們這樣跟你說就好了，機上廣播的時候，我們坐在窗戶旁邊我們都有看，基本上它是已經在陸地上，在陸地上空，所以我們看得到。」


眼看這局面無法收拾，上海航空才派人出來解釋，想要安撫整批乘客的情緒，會不會有點太晚了？足足拖了24小時，旅客們的火氣沒消，反而更旺。霸機旅客：「都延誤到了，都延誤到了！」


就算已經回到台北，乘客們決定不下飛機，就這麼在座位上，無言的抗議，霸機整整1個小時，在民航局的協調下，憤怒稍減，但被滯留

I think the airlines are supposed to notify the passengers as they checked in about the bad weather and possible cancellation of flight, and delays etc so that the passengers can re-consider about checking themselves in. The passengers are then mentally ready to expect possibilities of delays or cancellations. That is the way to avoid misunderstanding.

That is for airline services to be reasonable. For passengers to be reasonable, they must know about safety also. Will they rather risk the bad weather and ended up like the bloody Air France AFR447 just to try their luck to get to their destinations faster? If they want to take this sort of risks they should not take commercial flights, they should had joined air force or commando to have bad weather forced landing or paratrooper air dropping within the storm type of things.

Airliners are fragile things, can not take this sort of missions.

They must try C130 or helicopters.

Who are these people? Are they all PRCs? If so, can just dump them into the Formosa Straits. So many of them Chinks..small loss, just a tiny pissy drop in the ocean, and less to crowd Sinkies.

Most likely the Taiwanese who work in mainland and returning for summer holiday. Very Lao Lan. Tai Wan Kia. They dare not do this in Shanghai waited till plane reach Taipei then they hijack the plane. If they tried this in Shanghai airport would had been all arrested already.

These Tai Wan Kia knew that 马英九 government is damn soft and useless so they took advantage.
