JohnMitchell 14 #4 February 13, 2010 I've got to say that the ending was okay, the good guys unhurt and the bad guy chose his way out. This wasn't a great thing, of course, but nothing that would make me want to give up any fundamental freedoms or pursuits of happiness. Stuff happens in this world and we need to not over react.

yuri_base 1 #20 February 15, 2010 A gun for skydivers? That's all?! How 'bout a grenade? You have a special handle that cuts away a grenade concealed between your butt cheeks. When hijacker orders the pilot to jump and everybody is out of the plane, you pull that handle and jump.
