American professor helps foil hijacking in Ethiopia
Temple University professor Dr. Roderick Helsinger grabbed a live grenade dropped by a hijacker and threw it toward an empty seat as security guards killed seven attackers on an Ethiopian Airlines flight from Addis Ababa. The plane landed safely with one engine out and rudder control lost. Helsinger, 41, was wounded along with six other passengers and two stewards. The hijacking, possibly linked to Eritrean separatists, ended after 13 minutes in the air. Captain A Kesela and crew stabilized the aircraft and returned to Addis Ababa.
