Y outh gives hijacking account
by Terry Lynn Robertson
Heather Pittman, 13, a student at
Binnsmead grade school, was one ol
the 111 persons aboard the United
Flight 739 which was hijacked last
Wednesday evening. It was enroute
from Portland to Los Angeles.
Heather explains that she wasn't
afraid, because she wasn’t quite sure
what a hijacker really was, further­
more she said that the air crew did
not alarm the passengers in any way
of what was taking place. Later it
was explained to her what a hijacker
was.
Heather said she was next in line to
occupy the restroom, she had to wait
several minutes because the hijacker
was inside the restroom for at least
an hour and would not come out. A
stewardess finally had to knock on
the door and ask if anything was
wrong. He answered and said his leg
was giving him trouble. The door
was finally opened and he and the
stewardess headed towards the front
of the plane. Heather figured that
was when the hijacker ordered the
plane be returned to Portland. Heather
said they stopped in San Francisco
for fuel and she wondered why, be­
cause they were so close to Los
Angeles. Heather said the only thing
she knew about him was that he sat
two seats behind her. She sat in 17
and he was in 19.
Heather feels that she will be able
to fly again with confidence that
it will never happen to her again.
This was not her first time flying.
She still thinks about the incident,
knowing that a disaster could have
happened.
Heather explained that she would
have loved to have had the chance to
continue her trip like the others who
returned to Los Angeles, but because
of her mother’s wish for her to stay,
she remained in Portland. She got her
money back without any hassles and
a free plane ride to California.

"GRAND
RE-OPENING
PARTY"
Thoughts
(Continued from page 1 column 3)
tion to all matters of concern to the
school board. But Black parents
should consider carefully what their
answers are to the following
questions:
Does School Board member Rieke
convey the impression that his basic
feelings toward Black people are
negative?
Does he take positions at school
board meetings that Blacks have
learned through bitter experiences
will deprive their children of equal
opportunity and quality education?
Does he assume the role ot the
consummate law-and-order politi­
cian whose aim is to guarantee for
himself the right to express lawless­
ness tow ards legitim ate Black
demands for justice?
Does he use his school board
presence to display anti-Black pro­
secutorial capability or to serve as an
advocate for equal quality educa­
tion?
Black people must remember not
to create illusory shelters to avoid
facing the realities of racial anti­
pathies and hostilities on the part of
public elected officials. Blacks must
continue to be cause-oriented and
situation-conscious. These are essen­
tial to successful programs by Black
protest and resistance.
