When the forward door stairway was attached, [REDACTED] departed the aircraft through the forward door as soon as the stairs were put in place. She noted there was one car parked at approximately ten o'clock to the aircraft, the pickup rig was in the area and a fuel truck immediately went about attempting refueling of the aircraft. She stated she obtained a bag from an unknown male individual who got out of the car which was parked near the aircraft and although she is unable to recall the precise wording, she was told that the bag contained the money requested. She took the bag reportedly containing the money back to seat 18-E, which seat was still occupied by the hijacker. He opened the bag and inspected the contents which [REDACTED] said she observed was money packed in small packages with bank-type bands around each package. Having inspected the money in a cursory fashion, the hijacker stated that "it looked okay" and then indicated to [REDACTED] that the crew could now permit the passengers to deplane.

The hijacker immediately agreed with her suggestion and took one package of the money, denominations unrecalled by [REDACTED] and handed it to her. She returned the money, stating to the hijacker that she was not permitted to accept gratuities or words to that effect. In this connection [REDACTED] recalled that at one time during the flight the hijacker had pulled some single bills from his pocket and had attempted to tip all the girls on the crew. Again they declined in compliance with company policy.

She brought back one large parachute (back pack) first, stating that she could only carry one parachute of this kind at a time. It was after she brought this first parachute into the aircraft that he told her to lower all the window shades in his section of the aircraft. After pulling down these shades, [REDACTED]
