Students 'Hijack' KLM Airbus.

Last night, a KLM Airbus A320-200 was 'hijacked' by students. The airplane was 'hijacked' from the miniature Schiphol in Madurodam. The students apparently broke in the night before, 'hijacked' the plane, and landed it in the Q-Music radio station studio in Hilversum. Somehow, they also succeeded in 'destroying' the plane to some degree during landing (the wings were taken off, the rudder was broken, etc.).

Needless to say, a lot of people were upset about this stunt. Personally, I was surprised at those students. They brought the 'hijacked' plane to the studio, talked on the radio about how they did the stunt, and were proud of it. WTF? Proud of stealing something? Are they on pot or crack or something? What's even more surprising is that the Madurodam Security didn't knew anything was wrong until the radio station confirmed the 'hijack' to Madurodam.
