- 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.

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 Olympic Village in 1972.

Take heart people of today! The world was going to hell even back in the so called good old days.
It started when "they" took over this country in the early 20th century.
I'll need to look up when passenger screening started, but I'm thinking after this it wasn't long afterward that anyone with a gun in their pocket could just board a plane.
President Nixon instituted a robust airport security program on September 11, 1970 that included passenger screening as a direct result of this incident.

And none of this would have happened if Israel was never forced upon the middle east.@@PanAmMuseum
Harry Reasoner will move to ABC News by December replacing Frank Reynolds. By 1976, Barbara Walters joined Harry at the anchordesk and the pairing was a disaster. By the time his contract with ABC News expired by 1978, Harry returned to CBS News and 60 Minutes where he was until he retired in May 1991. Shortly after he retired, he died by the end of summer at age 68.
