About this title

Synopsis

KARACHI, PAKISTAN, 5 September 1986
Four heavily armed Palestinian terrorists storm a Pan Am jumbo jet as the passengers embark. The pilots escape, the terrorists shoot a passenger and throw his body out of the plane. They collect in passports and call Michael John Thexton to the front of the plane as the next hostage to die. A bearded, ragged figure rises from a seat and goes forward. A little Indian girl sees him go, and asks her parents for months afterwards, "What happened to the hippy man?"
This is his extraordinary story, relating for the first time the heroism of the flight attendants, the horror of the end of the siege, and its long aftermath now entangled in the "war on terror" � right up to the launch in April
2006 of a $10 billion lawsuit against Libya and
Colonel Gadaffy. This book leaves you knowing what it really feels like on the front edge of terror.
