Tragedy was avoided this morning after a man who claimed he had a bomb hijacked an AirEgypt flight, forcing it to land in Cyprus. Reports say there were 56 passengers and seven crew members aboard the Airbus when Seif El Din Mustafa claimed he had a suicide belt and told the pilots to land in Istanbul, Turkey, but agreed to Cyprus when told the plane didn’t have enough fuel to make it to Turkey.

Once the plane landed in Cyprus, Mustafa allowed women and children to leave the plane. Several other passengers made a getaway as well, with at least one person being filmed climbing out the plane’s window.

Mustafa’s motives are unclear, although some reports say he has a letter addressed to his ex-wife and wanted her brought to the airport. When a reporter asked Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades if the hijacking was anything to do with a woman, he responded: “Always, there is a woman.”

Motivated by insane, disturbed lost love or not, Mustafa eventually surrendered to authorities.

Welcome to Episode IV. This week, Dan spends some time with his favorite singer/songwriter, Matthew Perryman Jones. Matthew and Dan talk about panic attacks, growing up in Atlanta, the way music is informed by pain and suffering and the way music gives freedom.

If you have spent any time watching television in the last decade you have most likely heard one of Mattew’s songs on shows like Grey’s Anatomy, Pretty Little Liars, One Tree Hill and many others. His insightful writing and voice have drawn comparisons to Leonard Cohen and Jeff Buckley, and he is on the short list of songwriters who skillfully weave the deeply philosophical and the vivid utterly human without ever losing sight of either.
