I know we would all like to be the hero and save the day, etc.. However, in reality, how we would react as a hostage or confronting a mugger with a knife, most of us would not risk our life as money and valueables are replaceable while life is not.

I suppose if attacked I would probably fight back. But taking the lead in an assault, that is just plain dumb. I confronted a mugger at an ATM once and ended up with a bloody arm. They didn't get my money, but they did take my watch. It wasn't worth it as the medical bill cost more than the watch and I was lucky no nerves were cut.

Looking back in retrospect to today's event, it would be easy to say what we would have done if on board, however we probably wouldn't know the end result of the attack. Most hijackings end peacefully.
