Quote: The pilot did but the attacker ended up in jail - in Germany I think. I saw pictures of the plane afterwards; blood all over the panel.



In a similar but unrelated vein, I recall a report from an insurance company many years ago of a couple of Canadian hunters who had shot and bagged a moose (or some such similar creature ) and were transporting it back home in their aircraft, when they discovered en route that the moose was not in fact dead. Apparently when it awoke it decided that it did not much care for flying and set about its captors with a vengeance .After a shoot out in the cabin with the pilot's passenger, the plane finally landed, the pilot with a broken arm, and much of the panel wiped out and covered in Moose entrails and bullet holes...
