What does the scan show?
A person reads every report. Corrections are made by hand, to the data — titles, dates, names, which pages belong together — never to the scans, and they can take a while to appear.

NWA hijacker continues
United Press International
Woodland, Wash. Hampered by fog and rain, searchers slogged through the foothills of the Cas- cade Mountains Friday looking for an airline hi- jacker.
The fugitive took over a Northwest Airlines 727 jet Wednesday, collected $200,000 ransom and es- caped by parachute some- where between Seattle, Wash. and Reno, Nev.
The ground and air search started near Woodland yesterday. FBI officials said that the site was se- lected on "pure conjec- ture" because four crew members who remained on the plane did not com- municate with the hijack- er between Seattle and Reno.
