A 44-year-old Bolivian drug addict and alcoholic who says he`s a church minister was the person responsible for the brief hijacking Wednesday of a commercial jetliner. Josmar Flores Pereira, told authorities he hijacked the Boeing 737 jet because the date, September 9, 2009, or 9/9/9, and 666 reversed held some significance for him. He claimed he wanted to alert Mexico a earthquake was coming. Pereira also told reporters that Christ was coming before being escorted off. He said he had tied colored lights to a can and that there was no bomb.The hijacker took control of Aeromexico Flight 576 as the jet flew from the resort town of Cancun, telling a flight attendant he was one of three hijackers, said Genaro Garcia Luna, the secretary for public safety. He said a cardboard box he had contained a bomb, and threatened to blow it up if could not speak to President Felipe Calderon. Calderon was in the presidential hangar in the airport preparing to depart when the incident began, leading him to cancel his planned flight. The hijacking apparently went unnoticed by many aboard the plane, which landed five minutes ahead of scheduled and was moved to a different area of the airport. Passengers clutching their hand luggage walked from the plane and down a moveable stairway onto the tarmac, where they got into buses.
