    Canada experienced its first ever successful hijacking in 1971. The hijackers, carrying a handgun and grenades, ordered the plane to be re-routed to which location?

    Question #90383. Asked by pmac41. (Dec 28 07 5:43 AM)


    Jafato

    		Havana.

    "He was holding the gun in his right hand and the grenade in the other hand," says a crew member about the man who hijacked Air Canada Flight 932 on Dec. 26, 1971. She describes how the plane from Thunder Bay was only 20 minutes from Toronto International Airport when an armed hijacker aboard passed a note that read: "Think. We have fragmentary grenades, and a .38 calibre revolver. Take me to the captain. We're going to Havana. This is no joke."
