1. highjacker

   A hijacker is a person who unlawfully seizes and takes control of a vehicle, aircraft, or other means of transportation, often by force or threat. The term can also be used metaphorically to refer to someone who takes over or effectively controls something (like a process, event, or situation) without having the legitimate authority to do so. The aim of a hijacker is usually to reach a certain destination, to make a political statement, to commit a robbery, or to take hostages for negotiations.
