The article is likely taken from AA which was quoted in Friday's Wall Streeet Journal.
Th senior captain advises his passengers to fight. Furthermore if the hijacker is armed, to throw a blanket over his head to restrain him, and that the captain will land immediately.
Furthermore the captain says we will be spending the next 4 hours together so introduce youself to the passengers beside you, and in front and shake hands. Kind of sounds like Mass doesn't it.
More later but on business at this time.
