TURNS OUT THERE'S NO OCCASION TOO INAPPROPRIATE TO ASK FOR A SELFIE
People around the world were watching with baited breath this week, when an EgyptAir flight from Alexandria to Cairo was hijacked by a passenger, eventually landing at a Cyprus airport. In turbulent times, and following recent terrorist atrocities in too many countries around the world, it seemed that this would be another sad news day. Thankfully, the ending to this particular story was a little different.
When it turned out that the hijacking wasn’t actually terror related and turned out to be a man who’d gone (more than a little) off the rails, really just wanting to see his ex-wife, news outlets quickly turned their attention to another aspect of the story: Ben Innes, a health and safety auditor living in Leeds, decided that there was time during the ordeal to stop and ask for a picture with the supposed terrorist hijacker. Begging the question… When is it NOT acceptable to take a selfie these days?
