This guy’s photo with the EgyptAir hijacker is a new low for Millennials

An EgyptAir passenger who was among the hostages held during the six-hour hijacking drama incredibly convinced the lovelorn lunatic who had seized the plane to pose for this picture amid the madness.

“I’m not sure why I did it,” Ben Innes said when it was all over.

“I just threw caution to the wind while trying to stay cheerful in the face of adversity,” he told The Sun. “I figured if his bomb was real, I’d nothing to lose anyway, so took a chance to get a closer look at it.”

The 26-year-old health-and-safety (yes, safety!) auditor from Leeds, England, said the plane was on the runway in Cyprus, with hijacker Seif Eldin Mustafa still calling the shots, when “I got one of the cabin crew to translate for me and asked if I could do a selfie with him.

“He just shrugged OK, so I stood by him and smiled for the camera while a stewardess did the snap.

“It has to be the best selfie ever!”

As the crisis continued, Innes couldn’t help but brag to his buddies back home about how fearless he was.

“You know your boy doesn’t f–k about,” he said in one of a series of text messages obtained by the Daily Mail that accompanied the image of him grinning from ear to ear alongside Mustafa.

“Turn on the news lad!” he urged another one of his pals, who incredulously replied, “WTF? Is that a bomb attached to the guys chest? You OK? Let us know when you get off.”

His roommate told the Daily Mail, “He’s not afraid to shy away from anything. I find it pretty mental, but that’s just Ben, I guess!”

“This is not a surprise at all,” another friend said. “Ben is a wild man.”

Innes’ mom, on the other hand, said the photo had her worried sick.

“We don’t really want to comment on what has happened until he’s home and we know he’s safe and well,” Pauline Innes said.
