THE HIJACKINGS brought to six the number of planes commandeered and
ordered flown to Cuba during the week, and to 11 the number of planes hijacked
since June 12,1979 —after 87 planes were commandeered from the United States
to Cuba from 1961 to 1973. Saturday’s takeovers came one day after federal
officials announced a step-up in airport security.
Two of the hijackings - of a Delta Air Lines wide-body L-1011 and a Republic
Airlines DC-9 — occurred within half an hour Saturday night, according to the
Federal Aviation Administration in Washington. An Eastern Airlines Boeing 727
wasordered toCuba Saturday morning and returned to Miami in the afternoon, a
few hours before the Saturday night hijackings were reported.
FBI AGENT William Nettles said there were four hijackers aboard the
Republic plane. He said each was carrying a small container of unidentified
liquid and sprinkled it around the cabin, threatening to light it. While they were
doingso, they were shouting. "Cuba, Cuba.Cuba.” Nettles said.
Roger Myers of the FAA in Atlanta said that one to three persons who
"apparently had four containers of gasoline, "di verted the Delta jet.
Further details about the methods used were not immediately available.
The Republic plane, carrying 106 passengers and five crew members, arrived
in Havana at about 7:30p.m.. EDT. The Delta jet had 157 passengers and a crew of
eight aboard when it landed in Havana at 8:01 p.m., government and airline
