A Monty Python sketch in real life

thewayneI was amazed when I read this:
"July 26, 1996 Iberia Flight 6621, a McDonnell-Douglas DC-10-30 flying from Madrid to Havana was hijacked mid-flight. The hijacker, a Lebanese national named Ibrahim Saada demanded the flight be diverted to Miami International Airport. Saada was later apprehended and faced up to 20 years in prison. No one was hurt and the flight later landed at Jose Marti International Airport some hours later."
Wow. There's a Python sketch where Cleese and I think Chapman are the pilots and Palin comes in with a gun, saying "Take this plane to Luton!" Cleese's reply: "This is a regularly scheduled flight to Cuba, sir!"
