At 5 am on 29 December 2000, a mentally ill passenger stormed the cockpit and attempted to hijack the aircraft. Captain William Hagan and his crew were able to apprehend the assailant while first officer Phil Watson regained control of the aircraft, quickly bringing the situation under control. AircraftThe aircraft involved was a Boeing 747-436,[2] registration G-BNLM, delivered to British Airways on 28 June 1990.[3] IncidentAround 5 am local time, the cockpit of a Boeing 747-400 on a British Airways scheduled flight from Gatwick to Jomo Kenyatta Airport was stormed by a mentally unstable Kenyan passenger named Paul Mukonyi.{{r|guardian|bbc|sun}} Grabbing the yoke, he tried to execute a route change, which resulted in a struggle between him and First Officer Phil Watson that caused the aircraft to stall and plunge towards the earth.{{r|guardian|bbc|sun}} This struggle was joined by Captain Hagan, who had gone for a rest break just before the attack. Two passengers (Henry Clarke Bynum and Gifford Murrell Shaw, both of Sumter, South Carolina, US[4]) in the upper deck were able to assist in wrestling Mukonyi from the yoke. Violent pitch changes were responsible for minor injuries among four passengers;{{r|bbc}} one of the stewardesses broke her ankle.{{r|guardian}} After landing in Nairobi, Mukonyi was transferred to the authorities.{{r|bbc}} The actions right after the apprehension were recorded on a video camera by the son of the English musician Bryan Ferry; both were passengers on the flight.{{r|guardian2}} Mukonyi was in fear of being followed and was trying to kill those whom he deemed to be a threat, i.e. the entire complement of passengers and crew. AftermathCaptain William Hagan and First Officers Phil Watson and Richard Webb were awarded a Polaris Award in 2001.[5] Hagan was also given the Royal Association for Disability and Rehabilitation (RADAR) People of the Year award.{{r|sun}} A group of 16 American passengers settled a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against British Airways.{{r|guardian2}} British passengers were offered compensation of £2,000 and a free ticket each.{{r|guardian2}} The actual compensation package from BA for British passengers included the cash amount of £2,000, free attendance on a "Fear of Flying" course at Birmingham airport, and a free ticket to anywhere in the world on the BA network. In 2013 a small group of British passengers attempted to bring a lawsuit against BA, but a legal case could not be made and their efforts came to naught. British Airways has kept the flight number in use, although {{as of|2017|lc=y}} it is used for the London Gatwick Airport – Mauritius route.

British Airways' code is "36", hence "747-436". 3. ^{{cite web |title=British Airways Boeing 747-400 G-BNLM |url=http://thebasource.com/g-bnlm.html |website=The BA Source |accessdate=23 December 2018}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.theeffectivetruth.info/testclb.html |title=Miracle: Clarke Bynum and Gifford Shaw |website=TheEffectiveTruth.info |accessdate=28 June 2018}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.ifalpa.org/alphaomega/documents/Awardees%202007.pdf |title=Recipients of the IFALPA Polaris Awards |date=May 2006 |website=International Federation of Air Line Pilots' Associations |accessdate=11 June 2013}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/1092164.stm |title=BA jet plunges in cockpit struggle |date=30 December 2000 |website=BBC News |accessdate=6 June 2013}} 7. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2000/dec/30/jeevanvasagar.lizstuart |title=Two-minute fight for BA2069 |first1=Jeevan |last1=Vasagar |first2=Vikram |last2=Dodd |first3=Liz |last3=Stuart |date=30 December 2000 |newspaper=The Guardian |location=London |accessdate=6 June 2013}} 8. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4218168/Video-of-moments-after-BA-pilot-wrestled-brhijacker-from-controls.html |title=Video of moments after BA pilot wrestled hijacker from controls |date= |newspaper=The Sun |location=London |accessdate=6 June 2013 |dead-url=yes |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120328181859/http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4218168/Video-of-moments-after-BA-pilot-wrestled-brhijacker-from-controls.html |archive-date=28 March 2012}} 9. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2002/apr/28/travelnews.uknews.theobserver |title=Passengers on jumbo terror flight to sue BA |first=Joanna |last=Walters |date=28 April 2002 |newspaper=The Observer |location=London |accessdate=10 June 2013}} References{{reflist|refs=[6][7][8][9]}}{{Aviation accidents and incidents in 2000}} 6 : Aircraft hijackings|Aviation accidents and incidents in 2000|Aviation accidents and incidents in Sudan|British Airways accidents and incidents|2000 in Sudan|December 2000 events |
