Under 1990s it states that Flight 8969 was the "a landmark: the first known hijacking where the intention was to destroy the aircraft and passengers, and use the fuelled aircraft as a missile to destroy ground targets".

I was curious today when the news mentioned D.B. Cooper as the only unsolved U.S. plane hijacking because I remember the Officer Robert Rosenbloom killing and the the killers hijacked a plane. His son was in school with my brother. Is there a reason this doesn't qualifiy?

Note: I've moved this comment to a new section, at the end of the talk page, to make sure it is seen and receives whatever degree of attention it is due. By doing this, I am not taking a position either for or against the other editor's comments. Richwales ( talk) 14:41, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
I added a comment on the 9/11/2001 alleged hijackings to the effect that the official government/Commission story cannot be taken at face value. My edit was deleted by Rich Wales on the grounds that I gave no "reliable source" for my comment and that information given has to be "neutral". The information given on the Wiki page for these events is taken entirely from the 9/11 Commission Report and/or government statements - neither of which can be considered to be "reliable sources". Specifically, the Commission Report is known to have been based on 'evidence' gained through torture, in particular of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who was waterboarded 183 times in two weeks. His "confession" is therefore totally unreliable and should not be taken to represent fact. It would not be admitted in a court of law. The Bush administration was not known for its truthfulness; thus any statements from that source regarding the events of 9/11 must be treated with care. More specifically, the FBI has acknowledged that the phone calls alleged to have been made from the "hijacked" aircraft did not, in fact, take place. This is crucial because the call alleged to have been made by Barbara Olson to her husband Ted is the only one in which "hijackers" are mentioned. There is no corroborated evidence of the presence of any hijackers on any of the four planes alleged to have been hijacked.
The entry for 9/11 is therefore based entirely on unreliable sources and should either be deleted completely, or have a warning attached to it as unsubstantiated assertion.
A "neutral" entry, i.e. one without bias, would refer to the alleged hijackings as the "uncorroborated official conspiracy theory", and cite sources (there are many) which have shown that the official story cannot be true.
Wikipedia will otherwise stand accused of bias and dishonesty. I strongly object to the practice of allowing clearly biased people such as Rich Wales to decide on the acceptability of entries. His intervention undercuts the Wikipedia commitment to neutrality and lack of bias. Carlinesloup ( talk) 20:58, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Cmckain14 insists that the word terrorist does not appear constructive to him, I'm removing the word terrorist from the entire page if that is the case.

October 31, 1969 (Minchiello) ends with "Covering 6900 miles, this was the longest hijacking in history". July 2, 1971 (Jackson) ends with "It was a record for long distance hijacking, over 7,500 miles". April 5, 1988 (unnamed culprits) says "is the longest skyjacking to date". Are these using different classifications of "longest"? Were they the longest at the time (in which case the first statement is now false)? Or are two of these statements simply wrong?

I can't seem to find the name of the airliner, but in October of 2012 the Turkish Air Force did force a Syrian bound airliner from Russia to land in Turkey. The argument seems to have been that the Turkish military suspected the airliner of carrying weapons, and cargo from the aircraft was seized. < https://www.france24.com/en/20121010-turkey-grounds-syrian-passenger-jet-security-concerns-weapons-fighter-planes><https://www.voanews.com/world-news/middle-east-dont-use/turkey-seizes-cargo-syrian-plane-forced-land-ankara>

This hijacking incident related with september 11 and september eleven. This was first wave and september 11 might be second wave attack. I do remember this because turkish hostess was killed when she was trying to open door to saudi police. The way that hijackers used was interesting and different. Then I thought on this, a turkish girl killed, nobody in the world will not give a damn on this incident and the way that hijcakers used will get used again. Another interesting thing hijcackers want to go to afghanistan. Who were hijcakers and where they were trying to go? Usama bin ladin? Just 6 months later same method used again. In the no documentary about september 11 nobody mention relation of two incident, even intel sources may be unnoticed but both very related.

Being a neophyte, I'd like some guidance on adding to this list. I think this incident deserves to be added because the pilot was coerced to change the direction and destination of the aircraft. 20 October, 1921 - King Charles (Karoly) IV was forced to renounce his throne following Hungary's defeat in World War I and the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian empire. He sought refuge in Switzerland (1), but his ambitions to regain power led him to make multiple failed attempts to reclaim the Hungarian throne. The 20 October, 1921 aircraft hijacking attempt (3) involved a 6-passenger Junkers F-13 belonging to Swiss Aviation company Ad Astra. They departed Zurich-Dubendorf (2) for a local flight. Once airborne, Charles IV and five loyal ex-colonels coerced the pilot to change the aircraft's direction, eventually landing at Dénesfá, Hungary. He switched to a train and headed towards Budapest. This coup attempt ultimately failed when his forces were defeated by government-aligned forces at the Battle of Budaörs three days later. The Swiss pilot was repatriated but the aircraft interned, ending up at the Budapest Aviation Museum where it still resides (4).

Good morning. I just came across this article announcing that the first hijacking attempt in the USA took place in 1954. Can anyone verify? In France where I am, this story is completely unknown.
https://toledogazette.wordpress.com/2016/07/07/first-american-air-hijack-attempt-happened-in-ohio/
The year was 1954, 62 years ago this week on July the 6th when a large framed 15-year-old boy, wearing a leather coast denim jeans boarded an American Airlines plane at Cleveland Hopkins airport, waving a pistol and demanded that the pilot fly the plane to Mexico. The pilot, however, reached into high flight bag and withdrew a .38 caliber handgun and shot the young teen twice, once in the hip and once in the chest. He died about an hour later at the hospital...

Someone stealing a plane (particularly and empty one) is NOT a hijacking. Andrewgprout ( talk) 06:01, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

I can't seem to find the name of the airliner, but in October of 2012 the Turkish Air Force did force a Syrian bound airliner from Russia to land in Turkey. The argument seems to have been that the Turkish military suspected the airliner of carrying weapons, and cargo from the aircraft was seized. < https://www.france24.com/en/20121010-turkey-grounds-syrian-passenger-jet-security-concerns-weapons-fighter-planes><https://www.voanews.com/world-news/middle-east-dont-use/turkey-seizes-cargo-syrian-plane-forced-land-ankara>
Why is it that there's an extensive article on this guy on the Italian language site, but only the most basic of info on the English site? https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raffaele_Minichiello

This hijacking incident related with september 11 and september eleven. This was first wave and september 11 might be second wave attack. I do remember this because turkish hostess was killed when she was trying to open door to saudi police. The way that hijackers used was interesting and different. Then I thought on this, a turkish girl killed, nobody in the world will not give a damn on this incident and the way that hijcakers used will get used again. Another interesting thing hijcackers want to go to afghanistan. Who were hijcakers and where they were trying to go? Usama bin ladin? Just 6 months later same method used again. In the no documentary about september 11 nobody mention relation of two incident, even intel sources may be unnoticed but both very related.

Being a neophyte, I'd like some guidance on adding to this list. I think this incident deserves to be added because the pilot was coerced to change the direction and destination of the aircraft. 20 October, 1921 - King Charles (Karoly) IV was forced to renounce his throne following Hungary's defeat in World War I and the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian empire. He sought refuge in Switzerland (1), but his ambitions to regain power led him to make multiple failed attempts to reclaim the Hungarian throne. The 20 October, 1921 aircraft hijacking attempt (3) involved a 6-passenger Junkers F-13 belonging to Swiss Aviation company Ad Astra. They departed Zurich-Dubendorf (2) for a local flight. Once airborne, Charles IV and five loyal ex-colonels coerced the pilot to change the aircraft's direction, eventually landing at Dénesfá, Hungary. He switched to a train and headed towards Budapest. This coup attempt ultimately failed when his forces were defeated by government-aligned forces at the Battle of Budaörs three days later. The Swiss pilot was repatriated but the aircraft interned, ending up at the Budapest Aviation Museum where it still resides (4).

The first item in the 1990s section about America West Flight 727 is largely plagiarized from this Washington Post article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1990/01/18/bid-to-hijack-jet-to-cuba-foiled-in-texas/1679a09b-3bc2-4965-9360-67957c2a731a/ Lumiras ( talk) 16:07, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
Good morning. I just came across this article announcing that the first hijacking attempt in the USA took place in 1954. Can anyone verify? In France where I am, this story is completely unknown.

The year was 1954, 62 years ago this week on July the 6th when a large framed 15-year-old boy, wearing a leather coast denim jeans boarded an American Airlines plane at Cleveland Hopkins airport, waving a pistol and demanded that the pilot fly the plane to Mexico. The pilot, however, reached into high flight bag and withdrew a .38 caliber handgun and shot the young teen twice, once in the hip and once in the chest. He died about an hour later at the hospital...
