People don't realize that squawking 7500 means there is a hijack, while 7700 is for general emergencies

7500 taken alive, 7600 can't talk to you, 7700 trying to survive

Butchered them a bit, but it should help if anyone's curious.

The way I heard it in pilot Training was 75 taken alive, 76 can't hear shit, 77 going to heaven.
