A Swedish pilot of a small airplane faced a dramatic turn of a simple parachuting flight in Portugal on Sunday.

Mikael Anderson took off with three passengers from an airfield near Evora, east of Lisbon.

Two of the passengers were skydivers, suddenly the third passengers held a gun to the head of Mikael and demanded the pilot and the skydivers to leave the airplane. Mikael took the plane up to the correct jumping altitude so that the skydivers could jump the airplane. Mikael refused to jump.

The Hijacker took control of the aircraft, but Mikael Anderson managed to keep the airplane in the air with the controls of the co-pilot and got the plane to make an emergency landing in Tires just outside Lisbon.

“The small aircraft practicly crashed but we survived” said Anderson. The Hijacker committed suicide shortly after the crash landing with the gun.
