UA855 MIA-EZE is also a 763 now. In Feb. 2002, when it was still a 777, someone tried to hijack the plane by sticking his hand under the cockpit door. The captain whacked him with the emergency ax.

Oh well, if he was a Saudi, he'd understand about losing a hand.

Never saw a news report about this. Does anyone have a link?
