What do you do if there's a hijacker on the gate?

• A. Write down the demands and be discreet, don't make a scene
• B. Approach loudly and confront
• C. Call the police immediately
• D. Hide and wait for instructions

Answer: (A)

In a hijacking scenario, the priority is to keep people safe by staying calm, avoiding actions that could escalate the situation, and getting authorities involved through proper channels. Writing down the hijacker’s stated demands and keeping a discreet, low profile helps because it preserves accurate information for responders and minimizes triggers that could provoke violence. It also buys time for a coordinated response rather than risking danger by confronting the hijacker or drawing attention that could put others at risk. Hiding and waiting for instructions delays help, and approaching loudly or confronting is likely to escalate the threat. So the best approach is to document what’s happening and alert the right responders in a calm, controlled way.
