After [REDACTED] finished writing the note dictated to her by the hijacker, she got up from seat 18-D, and stepped to the rear of the aircraft and from [REDACTED] who was then on the interphone, obtained the note and envelope originally given to [REDACTED] by the hijacker.

[REDACTED] then took the hijacker's envelope and note, as well as the one she had written as dictated by him, and went forward to the cockpit to give them to the pilot. She was doing this while the plane was still taking off.

At this point [REDACTED] who had been on the interphone, came up and sat in seat 18-D (aisle) next to the hijacker in 18-E.

After [REDACTED] delivered the notes to the cockpit, she remained there at the instruction of the captain; however, after she had been seated in the cockpit for a few minutes, Stewardess [REDACTED] advised by the inter- phone that the hijacker wanted both the note he had written and the one [REDACTED] had written for him, to be returned to him. [REDACTED] then took both notes back to the hijacker.

Both [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] were shown the contents of the briefcase which the hijacker was holding on his lap, which he said contained a bomb. The contents of the briefcase were described as a device with eight red cylinders and a wire running from the cylinders toward a large 6"x8"x2" battery. The wire had a red plastic coating, except for the last inch, which was bare, and which the man held by his fingers. He told them it was an electrical device. He said the aircraft radio should be used as little as possible..

According to [REDACTED] Third Officer, the crew immediately contacted NWA via the company radio and did not alert the passengers nor did they press the Emergency Transponder Code Button, signaling a hijacking to the Control Towers, due to the hijacker's insistence of "no funny stuff."
