# Hijacking of British VC-10

Two Palestinian hijackers, Adnan Ahmad Nuri and Sami Huss Tamimah, set fire to a British Airways Vickers Viscount VC-10 at Schiphol Airport after letting the passengers and crew go. Firefighters extinguish the dangerous fire on the plane, which may have been filled with explosives. Captain Harrison talks to the press and the passengers, mostly from India. The next day, the soggy luggage is handed over to the passengers, who wring out the belongings. Police officers guard the largely burned out plane. In the grass are the plastic chutes the passengers escaped with. The hijackers have been arrested.
