Another religious lunatic jeopardizing public safety:
Jose Flores, 44, told investigators he hijacked Aeromexico Flight 576 after a divine revelation, according to Public Safety Secretary Genaro Garcia Luna. Flores said Wednesday's date -- 9-9-09 -- is the satanic number 666 turned upside down.
Flores, speaking to reporters after he was detained, said he took control of the aircraft with "a juice can with some little lights I attached."
"Christ is coming soon," he added, smiling.

And he's wrong! It's not 666! It's 6066! If you're going to hijack a plane because of your nutjob beliefs, at least make sure you get the math right! Sheesh!
