Or in this modern world is this something that is trained for?
It's also important to bear in mind that the flight crew will, likely, have had no knowledge whatsoever of what would happen next. They knew
(1) Stated bomb threat
(2) Instruction of where to divert.
The stuff we all now now happened, would not have been within their awareness whatsoever.
Of course, if any country tries this on again, it will be. And that is both good, and bad - since a crew may make a decision in a genuine emergency, that is contra-safety, as a result of that awareness. And that, above all else, is why we should utterly condemn Ballarus' behaviour.
