In 1970, about 4 planes (US and European) were hijacked to the Jordanian desert on the same day.
Passengers overpowered the hijackers on a AMS-JFK flight and the plane landed in LHR. They won!
On September 11, 4 planes were hijacked and the passengers won in a way. Now terrorists are more savage because in 1970, they released the passengers then blew up the planes to create shocking news photos.
