Bus hijacked on Utah interstate by man with knife
May 31, 2004 (WESTWATER, Utah) — A Greyhound bus traveling to Chicago was hijacked Monday afternoon by a man with a knife who was captured just west of the Colorado state line, authorities said.

Fifty-eight passengers were let out when the man took control of the bus on Interstate 70, Utah Highway Patrol spokesman Chris Kramer said.

The hijacker and driver went about 60 miles before the driver slowed the vehicle down to about 10 mph and jumped out, Kramer said.

"He has some cuts and scrapes, a little road rash. He's OK," Kramer said.

The hijacker barricaded himself in the bus briefly before he was arrested, Kramer said. He was identified as Antonio Hernandez of Lexington, Neb.

It was not immediately clear why the man hijacked the bus, which was traveling from Los Angeles to Chicago. He had talked of going to Nebraska to see his estranged wife, Kramer said.

"Aggressive behavior of this magnitude on the part of a passenger is extremely rare," said Greyhound spokeswoman Lynn Brown.

Hernandez was taken to the Grand County jail in Moab. Charges were pending.

The passengers were picked up by another bus at Green River, about 200 miles southeast of Salt Lake City.

to me these laws make no logical sense

people who are willing to use knives illegally are the same ones who dont care about no knife rules

so when a guy does sneak a knife, other people dont have their knives become near helpless.

same thing with the zero tolerance no knives on campus bullcrap

if someone does plan to use a knife to hurt another student, they arnt going to care about being expelled for having the knife. all it does is take away a means for students who would defend themselves if needed.

now for that bus hijacking, what if all the passangers were carrying knives? would a would be hijacker with a knife be able to scare a bus full of others with knives?

why rely on others (security guards) for personal safty when i am fully capable?
