I provided that definition to show that this is terrorism.

Hijacking a plane is violence, which includes forcefulness and the threat of violence. So this story is about terrorism just as any other terrorist news story is. If it were not violence, the flight crew and passengers would've been able to ignore the hijackers and continue their flight without any obstruction. There wouldn't have been a newstory or the story would've read "attempted hijacking on a commercial airline...but no one cared or felt fearful so the hijackers just sat down and asked the flight attendant for peanuts."
