How the hell are they so relaxed?
Amazing footage has emerged of Egyptair crew and passengers casually wandering around flight MSR181, and taking turns to pose with their hostage-taker.
Ben Innes, whose ‘selfie’ with Seif Eldin Mustafa went viral, is seen strolling down the aisle of the aircraft and asking members of the crew to assist him with his cheeky snap.
“You want to take a photo with him?” Innes is asked, who replies “Yeah, yeah… is that okay?”
A laughing stewardess takes the photo and hands the phone back to the contented passenger.
It later emerged that the suicide vest worn by the perpetrator was in fact fake, but the hostages weren’t to know, even if Mustafa had informed them such.
The video footage was filmed by Dutch passenger Huub Helthuis, and everyone looks bizarrely relaxed despite the potentially deadly scenario…
