I was channel surfing in my hotel a while ago and just caught the last ~30 minutes by chance, right when they hog tied a bad guy on the floor. I was wondering how the hijackers got behind a locked cockpit door. I figured they rushed the door when a pilot was taking a potty break, so it’s disappointing to now hear there was compliance, but then that’s entertainment.
