MEXICO CITY (CNN) -- A 44-year-old Bolivian drug addict and alcoholic who describes himself as a church minister was the sole person responsible for the brief hijacking Wednesday of a commercial jetliner, a Mexican official said.

The suspect -- Jose Mar Flores -- 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, said Genaro Garcia Luna, the secretary for public safety. "He said that because of that divine reference he wanted to alert Mexico City of an earthquake," Garcia told reporters.

To me, his arguement sounds perfectly reasoned and well thought out, if a tad OTT.

Although by way of celebration I settled for putting some flags up and searching for some interesting bugs with Kaleem.

Whatever floats your boat. I guess.
