THE CRIME
On November 24, 1971, a lone white male boarded Northwest Orient Flight #305 at Portland, Oregon. At approximately 3:22 P.M., while the flight was en route to Seattle, Washington, he indicated to the stewardess that his brief case contained a bomb which would blow up the plane unless his demands were met.
The hijacker demanded $200,000 and four parachutes in exchange for the safety of the 36 passengers aboard the plane. When the aircraft landed at Seattle, Washington, Northwest Orient Airlines complied with his instructions. After he received the parachutes and the money, the hijacker allowed all passengers and two airline stewardesses to deplane.
He then ordered the remaining crew members into the first-class section of the aircraft and informed them he desired to fly to Mexico City. The hijacker instructed that the plane proceed in a southerly direction and fly at a low altitude and slow speed which would enable the rear door of the plane (Boeing 727) to be opened during the flight.
