He has plenty of them. That way he doesn't have to think about what he's going to wear that day, and can focus all his thinking on Facebook. Or so the story goes.

Negotiators came on board while the military prepared to storm the plane. Eventually the military came in through the cockpit's escape window, entered the cabin through the cockpit door, and took down the passenger.
