Hostages foil jet hijack SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) — Pas sengers aboard a hijacked Tur kish jetliner overpowered two armed air pirates in a hastily planned but skillfully executed escape Monday at a Black Sea resort airport, freeing all 91 people aboard, including five Americans, authorities said. The two gunmen and four passengers were wounded, but the five Americans — all bankers employed by the New York based Citibank, were un harmed, U.S. and Bulgarian of ficials said. The dramatic escape at Bur gas came after one of the two air pirates leaped from the plane after he lost his gun in the scuf fle with the passengers, and in the midst of gunfire from the remaining armed hijacker, the Bulgarian news agency BTA said. Earlier, BTA said authori ties had enticed two of the original gunmen off the plane with a promise they could make statements to reporters. The end to the nearly 30-hour —making the news— From Associated Press Reports CHICAGO (AP) — A 25-year-old acrobat wearing a red-and-blue Spider-Man outfit conquered the world's tallest building Monday, climbing all the way up the sheer west face of the 1,454-foot-high Sears Tower in a 7'/2-hour exploit. As hundreds watched in the downtown street below, Daniel Goodwin of Kennebunkport, Maine, was handcuffed and taken into custody as he reached the roof of the 110-story steel-and-glass building at about 8:30 a m. PDT, after defying 40 mph winds and the best efforts of authorities to stop his ascent. Goodwin carried 50 to 60 pounds of climbing equipment, including metal binders, suction cups and rope. Goodwin would stick one metal device into the exterior slots used for window-washing equipment and twist it until it was tight, then use it as a step. Meanwhile, he'd remove a second device from below, insert it higher and bit by bit move upward. Goodwin also used window ledge clips with ropes attached to his body as a safety line. The suction cups were used also for attaching safety ropes to the building and for moving horizontally to evade a window washer's scaffold that authorities at first employed to try to block his ascent. Goodwin was being held for investigation of disorderly conduct, criminal trespassing and criminal damage to property. LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) - A tiny mallard duck with an arrow through her breast was fed bread laced with a barbi turate Monday and captured. The duck had eluded would-be rescuers for more than a month. The duck, named Donna by Humane Society volunteers, was captured after a brief tussle in a pond at the Sahara Country Club golf course. Within five minutes of her capture she was picked up by a helicopter and flown to a veterinary hospital in nearby Henderson, where Dr. Gary Weddle performed surgery to remove the arrow. Donna, with a 3-foot target arrow shot through her breast, had been the object of intense efforts to capture her over the past week, and residents around the country club said they had been trying to catch her for more than a month. ATLANTA (AP) — The city’s list of murdered and missing young blacks grew to 30 Monday, as police added the cases of a man who disappeared a week ago and another whose body was found in the Chattahoochee River. An autopsy showed the latest victim was asphyxiated, like 16 before him. The nude body of the man, whose identity was not released, was found Sunday in the river northwest of Atlanta. Police said Monday his case and that of 22-year-old Ronald Crawford, a mentally retarded man who has been missing since May 18, would be added to the list of cases being investigated by a special police task force, bringing the total to 28 unsolved deaths and two disappearances. hijacking was cococted by the pilot and passengers in a bid to save the Americans, two Japanese and a French hostage on board, American officials said. The hijackers, identified as members of the leftist Turkish guerrilla group Dev-Sol, had threatened to blow up the Tur kish Airlines DC-9 along with themselves and the non-Turkish hostages if authorities did not meet their demands for $500,000 and the release of 47 inmates from Turkish prisons, BTA said. Explosives were later reported found aboard. "The terrorists told the pas sengers ... that at 5 o’clock (9 a m. PDT) they were going to release all but the first three rows (where the non-Turks were sitting) and at 6 o'clock they would kill the Americans,” said Brian Carlson, spokesman for the U.S. Embassy in Sofia. Irish rioters vow to kick British out LONDONDERRY, Northern Ireland (AP) — In a graveside pledge to hunger striker Patrick O’Hara, the outlawed Irish Na tional Liberation Army vowed Monday to step up its campaign to drive the British out of North ern Ireland. Rioting broke out after the funeral in the Catholic Bogside quarter when some 200 youths attacked troops and police with stones, gasoline bombs and homemade hand grenades, police said. A derelict building was set on fire, but police said the rioting was on a small scale compared with the violence of previous nights. There were no reports of serious injuries. “What we have done in the past will be bettered in the fu ture,” said a hooded, uniformed guerrilla leader at the grave. “That’s our promise to Patsy O’Hara.” O’Hara, 24, was an INLA member and the fourth hunger striker to die this month at the Maze Prison near Belfast. He and the three others — members of the Irish Republican Army — have been replaced by com rades in the fast intended to pressure Britain into granting jailed guerrillas political pri soner status.
