There have been clashes between authorities and Uighurs resentful of government controls over their religion and culture.Dilxat Raxit, spokesman for the German-based World Uyghur Congress which campaigns for Uighurs’ rights, said that it wasn’t a hijacking attempt, rather an in-flight brawl over a seat dispute.“We warn China not to use this incident as another excuse for crackdown,” he said in an emailed statement.Two more suspects are reportedly being treated in hospital after mutilating themselves.

I guess you could say they got [I]hijacked[/I].
Problem solved.
"Hey, let's protest against the strict laws against our religion and culture by acting like terrorists that'll convince them that we're the good guys, right?"
Good luck breaking into a cockpit with a broken metal stick. A+ terrorism
I can say they did the right thing, though. Leaving the plane to the hijackers for them to crash it down means you'd die by a hundred percent chance. If anything like this happens, the passengers should attack the hijackers so at least they have the chance to survive.

It says in the article that it was a dispute over a seat but I doubt not getting a seat would turn into "I'm gonna hijack the plane and kill you all!"

i miss the brief times when puns were a bannable offense because 90% of the time they were bad enough to make you wish that person banned for it
[QUOTE=Bobie;36611951]in china, conventional protest tends not to work.[/QUOTE] So instead they try to carry out an act that is widely regarded as the staple move of one of the most evil and hated groups in the world? Great, that'll convince the Chinese government that their group should be given more religious and cultural freedom than any traditional protest ever could.

I wonder what would have happened had they not been re-hijacked

In fact, that's one of the reasons that the 9/11 attackers were so successful. Before that incident, no one had ever heard of a suicide hijacking. In fact, the majority of the hijackers weren't even informed it was a suicide mission, only the pilots were. The only reason Flight 93 resisted was that they heard from friends and family about the other hijackings earlier in the day.
Bit excessive consequences but did I really expect anything else to happen?

Holy shit, that's one way to deal with them.
Found some pictures of the brave men who took them down.

They die now!
destroyed
Don't fuck with the Chinese
0/10 terrorism would not be terrified again
[QUOTE]"They [the hijackers] went straight for the cockpit but failed," she wrote. "It is said the cockpit doors have all been strengthened after 9/11. One security guard was severely injured though." She added: "They brought a football-sized bomb onto the plane. Also, after all the other passengers were checked [by police] they found a seventh accomplice." [/QUOTE] From the telegraph. Doesn't seem like a seat brawl

While the idea with the crutch was kind of creative, I doubt that an aluminum baton would do more than cause a slight bruise.
