Alleged Hannah Montana Hijacker Caught
Obviously, not one of Hannah Montana’s biggest fans; a 16 year old teenage boy unsuccessfully attempted to hijack a commercial jetliner flying from Los Angeles, California to Nashville, Tennessee Thursday night and planned to crash it into a building where a Hannah Montana concert was to be performed.
According to Southwest Airline Flight 284 spokeswoman and FBI sources, the teen was able to sneak materials such as handcuffs, duct tape and a type of rope or yarn which he planned to use to overthrow the flight crew and crash the airplane in to a building in Lafayette, La., where Hannah Montana was to perform Friday night.
Because the alleged hijacker is a minor, not much information is being released but authorities did state that he was taken into custody by airport police without incident and is being held on unspecified state charges and could face federal charges as well. CNN affiliate WTVF reported the teen is being held at the Davidson County juvenile detention center and has been charged with felony terrorism.
Hannah Montana is a show on the Disney Channel that features 14-year-old Miley Cyrus as your average teenage girl by day but is a hit rock star by night. Her real life father, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus also stars as her father and manager.
