The co-pilot of an Ethiopian Airlines flight hijacked the plane heading for Rome on Monday. Authorities said the co-pilot, who was around the age of 30, hijacked the plane by locking the cockpit door when the pilot left to go to the bathroom. Swiss officials said that when the plane landed in Geneva the co-pilot climbed out of the cockpit down and rope and turned himself in. He says that he was a "pirate" and feared prosecution in his own country. The flight started in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital and was carrying around 200 passengers. Ethiopian Airlines forced the plane to land in Geneva and the passengers were escorted safely to vehicles once it did.
