On board the hijacked EgyptAir plane: SA man tells his story

Archbishop Damaskinos laughed along with the rest of the world when he learnt that it was a lovesick divorcé who hijacked an EgyptAir airplane last week‚ but there was nothing to laugh about when he was living through the drama. Damaskinos‚ the Archbishop of the Greek Orthodox Church of Johannesburg and Pretoria‚ and his colleague Bishop Nicodemus Boulaksis was on the early-morning flight from Alexandria to Cairo en route back to South Africa on March 29.
