she faced him, she pleaded with him to take the bomb with him and he said he would take it with him or disarm it before he left.

While waiting on the ground at Sea-Tac for the parachutes, the hijacker became annoyed and [REDACTED] told him the parachutes were coming from McChord. The hi- jacker then said, "McChord is only 20 minutes from Tacoma; it doesn't take that long." [REDACTED] also noted that while they were in the holding pattern over Sea-Tac, the hijacker looked out the window and observed: [handwritten: p.12] "We're over Tacoma now!"

[REDACTED] said there had been no announcement by anyone as to where they were.

The plane departed Sea-Tac at 7:36 PM. Some four or five minutes after take-off, [REDACTED] was [REDACTED] sent to the cockpit by the hijacker. Some 10 minutes [REDACTED] after she entered the cockpit, one of the officers received a call on the interphone from the hijacker, advising he could not get the air stairs down. The pilot then [REDACTED] leveled off the aircraft and reduced the air speed. Within a very short time, the officer's panel showed that the stairs had been lowered and approximately five minutes later, [REDACTED] (8:05 PM), the officer contacted the hijacker who said everything was okay. That was the last communication with the hijacker.

At 8:11 PM, while the plane was at 10,000 feet, the crew experienced a pressure bump or oscillation and the Cabin Pressure Rate of Change Gauge also reacted violently and it was thought, at that time, that the hijacker might have left the aircraft.

When the plane landed at Reno, at 11:01 PM, PST, it was parked away from the terminal. After receiving no answer through their attempts to communicate with the hijacker, they went into the cabin, flipped on the lights but saw no one.
