Do you think a terrorist is going to listen to orders based on a threat of death ???? the answer is more than likely to be NO.

Not all hijackers/terrorists are cut from the same mold or have the same goal. Back in the days when hijackings were a frequent event around the world...the flights were sometimes herded to places the hijackers did not want to go. Not everyone that hijacks an aircraft is willing to die...some of course are willing to die.
