Je ne parle pas francais

A would-be hijacker was subdued in the Canary Islands when the pilot realized he didn't speak French:

Along the way, speaking to the hijacker, the pilot realized the man did not speak French. So he used the plane's public address system to warn the passengers in French of the tactic he was going to try: brake hard upon landing, then speed up abruptly. The idea was to catch the hijacker off balance, and have crew members and men sitting in the front rows jump him, the Spanish official said.

The pilot also warned women and children to move to the back of the plane in preparation for the plan , the official said.

It worked. The man was standing in the middle aisle and he fell to the floor, dropping one of his two pistols. Flight attendants then threw boiling water from a coffee machine in his face and at his chest, and some 10 people jumped on the man and beat him, the Spanish official said.

Ouch. Boiling water on top of a beating? That's Walker Texas Ranger justice.
