The dialectical struggle of history has always, essentially, been a question of how to apply justice to matter. Take away matter and what remains is justice.

United StatesJune 4, 1971—Glen Elmo Riggs, 58 years old, a retired coal miner from Ashford, West Virginia. hijacked a United Airlines 737 jet and demanded to be flown to Israel. He was captured at Dulles International Airport when the flight engineer, acting on the advice of a psychiatrist in the control tower, talked the hijacker into giving up his pistol. The crew convinced him that the short‐haul, two‐engine 737 was incapable of such a long flight and landed their craft at Dulles—exactly one year after a gunfight ended another attempted hijacking.

September 11, 2001 — flight 93 is hijacked by alqueda terrorists and headed towards the white house. dick cheney scrambles his personal f16 and obliterates the plane with extreme prejudice— bringing new meaning to the phrase “getting dicked down”. it was the obvious choice, totally justified, anyone would have made the same call, but we still came up with a bunch of weird lies to cover this up.

October 22, 2023: Horizon Air Flight 2059 was diverted to Portland International Airport in Oregon, after an off-duty male pilot riding jump seat in the cockpit of a Horizon Embraer E175 reportedly pulled the engine fire extinguisher handles, which would cut the fuel supply and cause a flameout if they were fully deployed. The crew was able to subdue him, prevent an engine flameout (by resetting the "T-handle" that controlled the fire suppression system), and landed safely. Joseph David Emerson was later arrested in Portland and charged with 83 counts of attempted murder, 83 counts of reckless endangerment and 1 count of endangering an aircraft.[192][193]

March 28, 1981: The hijacking of Flight Garuda Indonesia Flight 206. The first major Indonesian airline hijacking. The hijackers, a group called Commando Jihad, hijacked the DC 9 "Woyla", en route from Palembang to Medan, and ordered the pilot to fly the plane to Colombo, Sri Lanka. But since the plane did not have enough fuel, it refueled in Penang, Malaysia and again in Don Muang, Thailand. The hijackers demanded the release of Commando Jihad members imprisoned in Indonesia, and US$1.5 million, as well as a plane to take those prisoners to an unspecified destination. The plane was eventually stormed by Kopassus commandos. One commando was shot by the hijackers' leader, who then shot himself; all the other hijackers were killed. All the hostages were saved

October 31, 1969: TWA Flight 85 en route from Los Angeles to San Francisco was hijacked by 19-year-old US Marine Raffaele Minichiello [it]. All passengers, including the band Harper's Bizarre and three flight attendants, were released in Denver. The hijacker, three pilots and a flight attendant continued on to JFK airport in New York, where two pilots were added for the overseas flight. The plane refueled in Bangor, Maine and Shannon, Ireland, before continuing to Rome, Italy. In Rome, Minichiello took the chief of the airport police as a hostage and departed in a car, from which he slipped away, but was caught shortly thereafter.[48] Minichiello intended to visit his dying father in Italy. Italy did not extradite Minichiello and he served only 18 months in jail.[49] Covering 6,900 miles, this was the longest (by distance) hijacking in history. A provisional film deal about the escapade has been signed.[50]

February 22, 1974: At Baltimore/Washington International Airport Samuel Byck shot and killed Maryland Aviation Administration Police Officer George Neal Ramsburg before storming Delta Air Lines Flight 523 to Atlanta. When informed by pilots Reese (Doug) Loftin and Fred Jones they could not take off until wheel blocks were removed, he shot them both and grabbed a nearby passenger, ordering her to "fly the plane." Jones died as he was being removed from the aircraft after the event was concluded; Byck was mortally wounded when Charles Troyer, an Anne Arundel County police officer on the jetway, stormed the plane and fired four shots through the aircraft door at Byck with a .357 Magnum revolver taken from the deceased Ramsburg. Two of the shots penetrated the thick window of the aircraft door and wounded Byck. Before the police could gain entry to the aircraft, Byck committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. Byck's motive was to hijack the aircraft and crash it into the White House, in an assassination attempt on President Richard Nixon.
