Kudos to the helpful male flight attendant.

 

" . . . he commanded the pilot to descend and depressurize the aircraft so that he could escape by a homemade parachute made of nylon with a curtain sash for a ripcord . . . " :booger

Ummm . . . I'm not a thief, but if something should compel me to rob an aircraft and escape by jumping out of it hundreds if not thousands of feet above the ground, I think I would begin my criminal career by first stealing an actual parachute.

Or maybe just rob a bus . . .
