Language Barrier Lands Hijacker in Hot Water

Respect to this guy!

I have been feeling quite smug lately at my ability to think up tabloidesque titles for posts. I mean to deploy them in an ironic kind of world-weary way, as tabloidisation isn't something I would aspire to though perhaps may be destined for.

And this story lends itself very well to the genre.

But what do I find, I am not even original or clever at being tabloid! I find that 'language barrier' has already been word-played, several times - examples are here and here. Others warm to the hot water theme. Is this a pun on aircraft? Two on a weaponry theme are quite creative. But credit mostly for thinking on the fly.

What fun the news is!
