South Korean airliner hijacked to North Korea
A South Korean Air Lines plane carrying 51 people was hijacked and diverted to North Korea. The plane, a YS11 prop-jet, departed Kangnung near Seoul and was traced to Wonsan on the east coast. The government sought help from the International Red Cross to secure the passengers' return. In the same era, FBI data showed mixed U.S. crime trends with Milwaukee and Madison reporting declines in some categories but overall national increases.
