Going travelling? You might even have a chance to put your new language to use before you get off the plane. A clever pilot, with the help of his passengers, managed to thwart a hijacking attempt. He realised when talking to the hijacker that he didn’t speak French, despite trying to force the plane to land in France. So, he told the passengers over the intercom that he was going to do a rough landing to throw the hijacker off balance and that the passengers should be ready to pounce. He even moved the women and children to the back of the plane.
You simply just can’t trust anyone these days.
