Worker ends siege with state flagpole
Louis Jerome, a state Compensation Board referee, charged the barricaded hostage taker Ladislaw Fraczek with a flagpole ending a nine hour standoff at the World Trade Centre. Fraczek 50, was arrested on kidnapping and weapon charges after a plan to detonate a device proved false. The incident forced evacuations of about 4000 people from 17 floors of the 110 story No 2 tower as police investigated a possible grenade though the device was later described as a prop or non lethal item. Jerome described fear for his life but said the assault broke the siege and saved hostages including court reporter Clarence Douglas.
