Hijacking ends in explosion over Beirut airspace
Shiite militants and Palestinians carried out a sky siege in Beirut with two jet hijackings. American University of Beirut official Landrey Slade and his son William were aboard the first Boeing 727 and later freed from the second MEA Boeing 707 in Cyprus. An explosion destroyed the first attacked plane after a February deadline passed without capitulation, as other hostages escaped during the chaos.
