Original Note:
The device the highjacker was wearing was fake and did not contain any real explosives. He asked to take the photo to get a better look at the belt, so that he could send it to the authorities while they were still on the flight, to see if the explosives were real or not. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/mar/30/briton-ben-innes-posed-selfie-egyptair-hijacker-praised-by-relatives https://x.com/Globalstats11/status/1871071401341505651
