Incidents
On 2 November 2009, two Somali men unsuccessfully attempted to hijack an Antonov airplane operated by Daallo Airlines on a flight from Bossaso to Djibouti. Armed passengers confronted the alleged hijackers when the two men drew their weapons, allowing the pilots to return the plane to Bossaso. None of the thirty passengers were wounded, nor did the aircraft receive any damage.
In November 2009, a man tried to board a flight in Mogadishu carrying powdered chemicals, liquid and a syringe similar to those used in the failed attempt to blow up Northwest Airlines Flight 253 on 25 December 2009.

“An element of exaggeration clings to the popular judgment: great vices are made greater, great virtues greater also; interesting incidents are made more interesting, softer legends more soft.”
