A mid-air hijacking attempt ended in tragedy this week when a man identified as a former U.S. teacher stabbed multiple people aboard a domestic flight in Belize. He was later shot dead by a fellow passenger during the plane's emergency landing near Belize City.
According to Belize Police Commissioner Chester Williams, the suspect, identified as Taylor, stabbed the pilot and two passengers as the plane circled the skies between northern Belize and the capital, dangerously low on fuel.
