When the US government passed the Anti-Hijacking Act of 1974, it was a direct response to the "Golden Age" of skyjackings. The act mandated that all airline passengers and their carry-on bags be screened before getting on the plane because, in the early '70s, hijackings from the US were out of control. Between 1960 and 1974, there were 240 hijackings or attempted hijackings between the US and Cuba alone.

I was born in '73, and as a kid I had three fears of dying; nuclear war with the USSR, quicksand, and being hijacked and taken to Beirut. I had no idea what or where Beirut was, but I was reasonably sure I would die there. Now I'm older and have dismissed those ridiculous notions, because I'm sure I'm gonna die in an earthquake while going over a bridge.

@Joe Blow ➡️ Except that many lower class members of society travel by bus or train, like Greyhound or Amtrak because those prices are often more affordable compared to plane tickets. It's usually the middle class who travels by plane because (1) you need identification to travel by plane (drivers license, passport, etc.) and (2) the cost of flights are significantly higher than bus or train. Plus, (3) if you have a layover between flights, the food and beverages at airports are priced significantly higher than a bus stop cafe in the middle of the country. You would know that if you had class 😎 LOL!!

A friend of mine led a Forrest Gump- like life where he ran into famous people or just plain WEIRD things happened to him. When he was 13 or 14 he won some type of “ambassadorship”/scholarship where he was sponsored to go to the 1972 Olympics in Munich Germany. And since it was the early 70’s he was put on a plane by himself without a chaperone. On the flight over he realized he was starting to feel feverish and started sweating profusely. And just his luck, a flight attendant took his uneasiness and sweating to be signs he was up to no good! (It may have been right after the infamous terrorist episode that happened at the games so everyone was on edge). So when he got off the plane he was detained. And GRILLED. He also had the dumb luck that he fit the description of a wanted Terrorist! He kept trying to explain, “Look, I’m a KID! I have no idea what you’re talking about! I need to see a DOCTOR! Please call my mom and dad!” The German cops held him for hours. Finally the cops allowed a doctor to see him. The doctor, an old Jewish man with white hair and beard took one look at him, and said “Oi Vey, he’s got da Cheekin Pox! Und he’s just a keed!” The German authorities, being both embarrassed and not wanting an infected person on their hands just put him on the next plane back to New York. You can imagine how miserable the trip back was and he never got to attend the Olympics.

@@seekertosecrets Mike’s life was just crazy, there are so many stories! I kept telling him he MUST write a book. But he was a little too “scatter-brained” in that he was an incredible artist and inventor but I doubt he could sit still enough to write a book. He was so left brained/creative that he was a starving artist-His friends handled his business affairs. He met a lot of famous people by being on the wait staff of a super-fancy conference center. Henry Kissinger, Bill Clinton, and Dr. Ruth Westheimer are among the people I remember him mentioning. On another gig he was Pink Floyd’s bartender for a week. An intoxicated Bill Murray wandered into the kitchen at a country club where he was a cook. The list goes on. As a naive college student he got roped into being a courier for some shady deal involving Baby Doc Duvalier of Haiti and a Texas oil baron. He had some splaining to do with the FBI on that one - probably the most Forrest Gumpy thing he did. Kinda funny how as a kid he was suspected of international subterfuge only to get sucked into a similar thing in real life as a young man!

Plus, anyone who WANTS to go and STAY in Fidel’s Cuba should just be put on one plane and given a free ride there. I was a kid then and though scary, I thought the whole thing was ridiculous.

There were 2 interesting suggestions by experts in the early 70s, that 1) all US airport departure lounges should periodically play the Cuban national anthem, and let security people catch those who stood up for the anthem, and 2) US government should build a mock Havana airport in the US aiming to trap the hijackers after the planes land. Have they been implemented?

Considering how many attempted hijackings there were back then, I'm kinda amazed it took until 9/11 for airports to really get very serious with their security. Lots of people complain about how long and annoying it is to be screened and checked, but I'm grateful for it. Would much rather take an hour or two in line than go through a situation like that.

Airports in the US installed metal detectors in the early 1970s, and skyjackings dropped almost to nothing. So terrorists moved to other countries. By 2001 a gun or bomb in luggage would get you arrested, but pocket-knives and box cutters were still okay. After 9-11 *everything* was banned.

I remember when I was two years old and I went with my parents to pick up my uncle at Love Field in Dallas in 1988 or 89, I think. I had this stuffed Felix the Cat doll that I took everywhere with me. They made me put it through the x ray machine. I thought that was so weird. I thought, did they think someone cut the head off, hid a gun inside and sewed the head back on? Maybe a hijacker would try to sneak a gun onto a plane by hiding it inside a stuffed animal and giving it to their kid? I was only TWO YEARS OLD and I thought that. It amazes me that I can actually remember that. Looking back now, I wonder how I even knew about stuff like that at such a young age in the late 80's. I must have seen it in movies or heard about this stuff on TV, but I don't remember that. This video made me think that I must have heard about this stuff on TV or something, a lot more than I realized, because I didn't know there actually were so many hijackings back in the day. I thought it was mostly just something that happened in movies.

This is really interesting. The stock footage use was a bit much, though. Every shot is some picture being rotated while blended with another image. I'd like to just look at stuff.

Okay actually the wacky cartoon animated effect of bullet holes appearing on a picture of a pilot and co-piliot while real deaths were described is yucky. Sound effect, too.

In the handful of skyjacker movies from the 70s I've seen on TV the villains often used the German order "mach' scnell!" haha!

The thumbnail, I watched all that unfold on TV with the rest of America and the world. I remember feeling so sad and afraid for these people on board, especially that one pilot. I was so happy when it was over. It's crazy that it took so extremely long for the airline security to get the fact that, you can't just let people walk on a plane without practically doing a cavity search first..same on them. I've never flown and don't see it ever happening unless it a life flight then, I better be completely out of or it could be a difficult situation 😉

You described plane hijacking's golden age like it's was a good thing. Poor choice of words.

DB cooper was the best hijacker..... didn't cause mass panic, didn't blow up the plane, let everyone live and got away.....i call that a success it's wrong to commit the crime of hijacking but i respect his approach......
