Dawson's Field hijackings received a peer review by Wikipedia editors, which is now archived. It may contain ideas you can use to improve this article.

A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day... section on September 6, 2007, September 6, 2008, September 6, 2009, September 6, 2010, and September 6, 2011.

A fact from Dawson's Field hijackings appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 28 May 2004. The text of the entry was as follows: "Did you know

...that four planes were simultaneously hijacked in the 1970 Dawson's Field hijackings?"

[edit] Untitled

Does anyone else think that it should be mentioned that this was the basis for the first Delta Force movie?

Wow, interesting story - there's a thumbnail of an image of one of the blown-up planes on the BBC site...

Someone should comment that the 747, N752PA, was blown up by hijackers after landing in Cairo.

Is it not interesting how "the blackest day in aviation", back in 1970, occured right around the 11th of September? Ypsidan 04:46, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Robert Stephens biography on Gamal Abdel Nasser, Nasser - A Political Biography, briefly touches upon the subject, but there are a few differences. He claims:

PFLP demanded the release of Palestinians in Switzerland (3 people), UK (Leila Khaled), West Germany (3 people) and Israel (an unspecified number), not only those in prison in Switzerland
The BOAC plane was hijacked three days after the first four ones
After the blowing up of the planes on Sep. 12, only 54 hostages were kept, the others released.
The seven palestinians in prison in CH, UK, BRD were released, not Palestinians in Israel.

[edit] TWA 74 or TWA 741?

There seems to be confusion about the flight number of the hijacked TWA jet. There are almost as many websites on Google that say TWA 74 (excluding those who directly quote Wikipedia) and TWA 741. On the other hand, my old TWA timetable shows Frankfurt-New York as flight 741. Any thoughts on this? -- AirOdyssey (Talk) 03:30, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Ooops, I originated this error here in May 2004. I just checked my original source (a NY Times article) and they have the flight number as 741. I must have mistyped it. Please tell the Internet that I'm sorry. And maybe PBS should hire you as a fact checker. Ydorb 17:59, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dawson's Field site

What exactly is on the site now? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by John celona (talk • contribs) 14:02, 21 March 2007 (UTC).

I believe this is the site [1] it looks to be abandoned. Ydorb 17:22, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

The site was formerly RAF Zerqa. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.40.252.80 (talk) 12:23, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Hijackers as passengers

It appears that the hijackers are not listed as passengers. Should they be? HtD (talk) 12:19, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Anti-semitism?

Very uncomfortable with Antisemitism cats here. This was a politically motivated attack against the state of Israel. Jews were held as pawns, not becasue their captors wanted to inflict suffering on them solely b/c they were Jewish. Come on. Chesdovi (talk) 17:21, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
