Propt:Hijack!

If an Air Bus A380 was hijacked by a terrorist group who threaten to blow up the plane and all its passengers if I do not release some certain convicted criminals and it was up to me to decide how to handle it. For me it would be the hardest decision of my life to choose between the few hundred people now and the thousands of people in the near future. I guest the best was to find out is to look at all the sides. An Air Bus A380 can hold up to about eight hundred people plus ten to twenty crew and the men and/or women this terrorist group wanted released are war criminals who kill thousands of people each. These criminals if released could and probity would kill thousands again. Then if I was to give in to the demands of the terrorist I would show that my country was weak and would break under pressure. Which would mean that the current terrorist group would continue to ask for more for these people lives and even if they let the people on the plane live what would stop them or some over terrorist group from doing this again? So on this side the lose of the plane is small.
While on the other hand each life is priceless so I would fight to save all the lives I could because each one has a family that needs love them. Many times after a major event like the death of eight hundred people, the families would be driven into a state of extreme depression which may lead to the death of many family members.
So the choice that I would have to make would be weight as a cost (the lives of the people on the plane) verse the risk (the demands of the terrorist group). If the people lives come out to be more then I fight harder to save there lives. Now in the end I do not really know how I would handle or even if I could handle it that decision when that time came.
