The domestic flight, from Alexandria to Cairo, was hijacked and forced to land in Cyprus.
This is when the passenger, yet unidentified, allegedly clicked a grinning selfie with the hijacker – Seif Eldin Mustafa.
Mustafa released all the passengers on board the flight and kept just 5 passengers and seven crew members hostage while he continued to negotiate with authorities. However, he finally surrendered.
Expectedly, the selfie was slammed and mocked on social media:
