BREAKING NEWS: Hijacked Plane

UPDATE 8:06ct
Okay, so now I am seeing that it was a single hijacker who was trying to warn the Mexican President of an earthquake the guy thought would hit today because the date -- 999 (09/09/09) is 666 upside down.

yeah okay.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
UPDATE 255ct
more passengers have been taken off the plane (early reports said that everyone was already off)
they are also saying that some of the hijackers were dressed as passengers and may have been hiding among them.
they just took off passengers from the first class section
they are giving first aid to some of the passengers so there must have been something going on.

they are also saying that the crew has been set free
and they are showing one man being taken off by the police
------------------------
UPDATE 243ct
hijackers got up a lot during the flight while signage was off.
mexico city air port is closed
all they seem to want is to talk to the mexican president
(sorry for lower case letters - just quicker to type this way)
on the tarmack is the federal police, since most of the local police are very corrupt (not my words, the reporter said it)
=============
UPDATE 240ct
Passengers are off plane but crew and stewards are still on.
they are showing shots of someone hanging out window of plane chatting with officials.
they are putting up that the hijackers are 3 Bolivians
-----------------------
UPDATE 2:29CT
they say now it is a 747 (more passengers)
and they have found a square box on board.
which sounds to me like they have already stormed the plane
