Six people failed in an attempt to hijack a plane in China Friday after passengers and crew members overpowered them, dpa quoted a media report as saying. The attempted hijack of the Tianjin Airlines flight from Hotan Airport in western China's Xinjiang province took place around 10 minutes after the plane took off for Urumqi, the Xinhua news agency reported, citing the Public Security Bureau. The plane then returned to Hotan and the six suspects were arrested.
