Original Title: TIL about Philippine Airlines Flight 812. A passenger hijacked the plane and robbed the other passengers. He tried escaping using a homemade parachute, but he couldn’t jump and needed a flight attendant to give him a push. He was killed after his parachute failed to open. Everyone else was unharmed.
