CBS News Broadcast: Terrorists Blow Up Three Planes in Jordan, Hostages Safe (Sept. 12, 1970)

On September 6, 1970, all on the same day, three passenger airliners all bound for New York were hijacked in a coordinated terrorist operation. An attempted hijacking of a fourth plane failed, but a fifth plane was hijacked three days later. The event were a watershed moment called the Dawson’s Field hijackings. Commercial aviation would never be the same again. To learn more about this historic event, listen to The Pan Am Podcast, Episode 6: Hijackings and the Dawn of Global Terrorism https://podcast.thepanammuseum.org/18... The four planes involved were: a TWA Boeing 707, a SwissAir DC-8, a El Al Boeing 707, and a Pan Am Boeing 747 named Clipper Fortune. A fifth plane, a BOAC Vickers VC 10, was hijacked three days afterward. Dawson’s Field was a direct result of the Six Day War between Israel and Egypt, Syria, and Jordan. In addition, this event sparked the Jordanian civil war of 1970 and 1971. As a result, the Black September terrorist organization was formed against the King of Jordan and would later carry out the Munich massacre at the Olympic Village in 1972. Like this video?
