Mexico’s security forces took a heinous blow as an Aeromexico flight was hijacked in the vacation spot of Cancun and was flown to the Mexico city.

Although the plane has landed safely without any of the passengers getting injured or whatsoever, but the alleged hijack carried out by a man who claimed to have received a message from the God, did leave the security department officials red faced and fuming with embarrassment.

Initially the authorities thought that they were at least five hijackers on board only to find out that there was only one man operating the whole drama. It is feared that the whole incident might tarnish the image which is desperately trying to portray itself as a safe destination to vouch upon, accompanied with law and order. Wednesday’s event came as a blow to the security officials who did not have a single clue about the incident beforehand.

The brief stint of hijacking, that lasted only for a couple of hours or so, shook up the entire nation. Speculations are already doing rounds regarding the safety policies of the nation. It is also said that the tourism industry might have to bear the consequences of the incident.

The 44 year old Jose Flores, a preacher by profession was arrested for allegedly trying to hijack the flight. Other men were briefly detained as Flores had said earlier that he had three accomplices on board. The bizarre melo-drama set up by Flores did shook up the entire security channels of Mexico.

The reported event is supposed to have caused severe blows to the tourism industry of Mexico as the tourists are doubting the security measures of the nation.
