What to do during a hijacking?

Check to see whether you are being followed, and if you think you may be, go to the nearest police station or place where there are many people. Avoid quiet streets or areas. Remember not to lose your temper, threaten or challenge the hijacker, especially if they have a weapon. Do exactly as told by the hijackers.
