Fox News reports that an Aeromexico Flight 576 was hijacked by four men who took control of the plane and threatened to blow up the plane unless they spoke with Mexican President Felipe Calderon. The flight has landed safely in Mexico City. Local media reports that there was no explosion on the plane and everyone on board is believed to be safe. TV Azteca reported 104 registered passengers on the flight. Reuters reports that Mexican security forces have arrived on the scene at the airport in Mexico City. Fox News reports that the four men are believed to be Colombian. Their motive is not known. |

I wonder what they were demanding, other than a meeting with Calderon?

You know they are nuts when the go from Cancun to Mexico City, rather than from Mexico City to beautiful Cancun..
OK just joking because no one was hurt. |

My stomach churned when I read this on CNN just now... too close to 9/11 for my comfort
Glad everyone is OK. CNN reports the hijackers may have been Bolivian {?} |

I'd hate to be a hungover tourist on my way home from Cancun and have something like that happen to me.
