Hijack attempt on Eastern Flight ends with safe return
A 14 year old with a toy pistol attempted to hijack Eastern Airlines Flight 939 from New York to San Juan but surrendered after Cuban authorities detained the plane in Havana for six hours. In Alabama, a youth on a Delta DC9 tried to seize a passenger, but a stewardess and supervisor talked him into surrendering. The two incidents left 83 aboard the Eastern flight and 17 passengers freed on the Delta run.
