Hijack Holiday

The following pages contain the narrative of DC flight 787 from JFK to Nassau in the Bahamas. The first section contains 40 personal histories told by some of the passengers and crew. The second section unfolds the events in which they were involved. As with all narratives, it is up to you to decide which narrators are reliable and which are merely self-serving, or, at worse, distorting the story for various purposes. Technical details have been altered so as not to provide a blueprint for terrorists.
