The plane diverted to Havana with a crew of seven and 80 passengers aboard, including journalist Nora Hampton. The hijacker entered the cockpit, wore black attire, and carried a copy of Cleaver’s book. He remained in control for the three hour flight and then left the aircraft without a clear destination.
