MEXICO CITY – A Bolivian religious fanatic briefly hijacked a jetliner from the beach resort of Cancun as it landed in Mexico City on Wednesday, police said. All passengers and the crew were released unharmed.

The Bible-carrying hijacker used a juice can he said was a bomb to hold the 103 passengers and crew on the tarmac for more than an hour. Masked police stormed the aircraft with their guns drawn and escorted several handcuffed men away without firing a shot. Police later said there was only one hijacker.

Jose Flores, 44, told investigators he hijacked Aeromexico Flight 576 after a divine revelation, according to Public Safety Secretary Genaro Garcia Luna. Flores said Wednesday's date — 9-9-09 — is the satanic number 666 turned upside down.

Flores, speaking to reporters after he was detained, said he took control of the aircraft with "a juice can with some little lights I attached."

"Christ is coming soon," he added, smiling.

7. Maybe the other four had more than three onces of shampoo on them? (nt)

4. will the christian rapture take all the insane...?

Or only the religiously insane? Only the christian variant of religious insanity?

Am I the only person who suspects he was marooned on this planet by aliens with a mean sense of humor? As a working hypothesis, that's at least as good as "God created me." :rofl:

[KansDem]

6. Maybe he wanted the plane in time for the rapture?

After all, why float up to Heaven naked when you can go First Class?

8. I'll never look at the first class cabin the same again....

:rofl:

Wish I could nominate that response for a DUzy!

9. The hijacker was a terrorist. The hijacker was a Christian religious fanatic.

Ergo, all terrorists are Christian religious fanatics! Wow! That was easy! When's the invasion! :sarcasm:

11. I heard he was a Muslim -

Pass it on -------------------->

[harmonicon]

13. most terrorists are religious fanatics of one type or another

In the US we seem to have more Christian terrorists than any other kind, but other countries make their own in different models.

10. This is a good insight into the kind of extremeists we have on the right here.

They feel limited by nothing, as God will tell what they are doing, or going to do , ok.

I think Bush once said that God told him to invade Iraq.

[YoungAndOutraged]

12. So let me get this straight

He got on the plane, suddenly realized that 9-9-09 is 666 turned upside down, and decided he needed to blow up the plane? For what reason? Not to mention that 9-9-09 upside down 6-6-06. Are zeroes evil or something? Sounds like a Bolivian mental institution is missing someone.

14. More worried about 9-11

That is coming this week, I hope nothing happens.

A religious fanatic hijacked an airliner yesterday because the date, 9-9-09, was 'the satanic number 666 turned upside down'.

The Bible-carrying hijacker stood up as the plane was landing and told a flight attendant that a juice can he was carrying was a bomb.
The pilot was forced to hold the 103 passengers and crew on the tarmac at Mexico City airport for more than an hour before armed police stormed the aircraft and escorted several handcuffed men away.

Police later said there was only one hijacker, and the other men aboard were detained because the suspect, Jose Flores, had told a flight attendant he had three accomplices, who he referred to as 'the father, the Son and the Holy Ghost'. The others were quickly released.

totally arbitrary dates being the 'reason'.

19. Take this plane to "_______"

or I'll spray grape juice all over you and ruin your outfit!

18. The Church of the SubGenius already used that one after their 1998 X-Day millennial debacle

When the Rupture failed to materialize that year, they determined that the prophesy, written on a cocktail napkin, actually referred to the year 8661.
