In this episode we explore the coordinated terrorist hijackings of four passenger airliners all bound for New York on the same day on September 6, 1970. The events were a watershed moment and aviation would never be the same again.
The four planes involved were: a TWA Boeing 707, a SwissAir DC-8, a El Al Boeing 707, and a Pan Am Boeing 747 named Clipper Fortune. A fifth plane, a BOAC Vickers VC 10, was hijacked three days afterward.

Later in the program we are joined by Pan Am Captain Paul Lachapelle. A 30-year Pan Am veteran who joined the airline in 1955 flying the 707 and later 747SP. He retired from United Airlines in 1993.
