On April 15, 2020, Appa Airlines' plane left Omashu for Ba Sing Se. Sokka, a passenger and a government secret agent, noticed that Azula, a suspect in the killing of Aang, was on board. Shortly after the take - off, Sokka wrote a note which was given to the pilot informing him that Azula and her men were in the plane, and to contact the authorities in Ba Sing Se for their capture.

The pilot came out of the cockpit and sat beside Sokka saying that he cannot send a message because it would be heard by all aircraft stations on the ground, which may result to alarm and panic. One of Azula's men saw them which prompted the pilot to go back to the cockpit.

After a while, there was an exchange of gunshots between Sokka and Azula and her men. Azula declared a highjack and she and her men divested all the passengers with their money and valuables. When the plane landed at Ba Sing Se, Azula and her companion were able to escape.

Toph, one of the passengers, filed an action against Appa Airlines to recover her money, the value of jewelry and other valuables taken by the hijackers, as well as damages, attorney's fees and expenses of litigation.

(b) Was the obligation of Appa Airline with its passengers extinguished by the above- mentioned plane incident? Why or why not?
