THE CRIME
A lone white male boarded Northwest Orient Airlines Flight Number 305 at Portland, Oregon, on November 24, 1971. At approximately 3:22 p.m., while the flight was en route to Seattle, Washington, he indicated to a stewardess that his briefcase 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 Seatlte, Northwest Orient Airlines complied with his instructions. After he received the parachutes and money, the hijacker allowed all passengers and two of the 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 enabled the rear door of the plane to be opened during the flight.
