Nightlong San Francisco airport hijack ends with Fremont man safe
Richard Funk, 33, a United Airlines airframe maintenance supervisor from Fremont, was briefly knifed but unharmed after a mentally troubled mechanic seized a grounded DC-8 at San Francisco International Airport. The hijacker, Pat J. Hinnant, a United employee on medical leave, released Funk and surrendered after authorities refused his demands. Funk’s family, including wife Patricia and three children, waited through the night as airport staff and Latzinger, a co-worker and friend, coordinated updates.

County staff will study legality and feasibility, reporting to supervisors in January. Opposing voices, notably Supervisor Joseph Bort, call the plan absurd while noting potential public fund use would affect bonds for all.
