Colombian Jet Hijacked, Lack of Government Aid Angered Man

A father and son hijacked a Colombian jet Monday, September 12 on a flight from Florencia, Colombia to Bogota, Colombia. The father was in a wheelchair and was angry that the Colombian government had not supplied him with money to help with his injury. These men had two grenades, and after hours of talking to government negotiators and a Roman Catholic priest the men surrendered. They had released people from the plane but it took five hours for the men to surrender.
