— -- A video has emerged showing moments inside EgyptAir Flight 181, which was hijacked flying en route to Cairo from Alexandria on Tuesday.
The nearly two-minute-long video includes the moment British passenger Ben Innes posed for a photograph with suspected hijacker Seif Eldin Mustafa.
The video shows a surprisingly calm scene on board the plane. Flight attendants are seen calling over Innes to the back of the plane to take a picture with Mustafa. One of the flight attendants take several pictures before Innes walks back to his seat. You then see Mustafa sit back down in the back before the video ends.
The EgyptAir plane was carrying 72 people when it was diverted to Larnaca International Airport in Cyprus because of the hijacking.
When the plane landed, the suspected hijacker initially released everyone apart from seven people, including several crew members and 3 passengers.
