There was an hijack on a UPS cargo plane a number of

disgruntled UPS employee. He overpowered the skeleton flight crew and

Fortunately, the injured flight crew struggled back control of the plane
and overted a potential disaster.
I think you're referring to an incident with a FedEx employee. (Either
that or a freakishly similar one happened to FedEx.) The employee
used some of the instruments already on board the plane, particularly
a hammer, to injure the captain. He intended to crash the plane into
the primary data center facility for the company.
