Hijacked Jetliner Returns to Seoul After North Korea Standoff
A Japanese airliner hijacked by 15 radicals turned back from North Korea and landed at Seoul with 115 aboard. Two Americans, priest Daniel S. MacDonald and PepsiCo Japan executive Herbert Brill, were aboard among 97 Japanese passengers and crew. The hijackers, wielding daggers and swords, seized the flight from Tokyo to Fukuoka, forced refueling at Fukuoka, and were then redirected toward Pyongyang before the jet landed at Kimpo International Airport under guard by South Korean and American fighters.
