Show Notes
In October 1969, Raffaele Minichiello boarded a flight in LA with an M1 rifle disguised as a fishing rod. He told the pilot that they weren’t going to San Francisco, as planned. They were going to Italy. What followed was one of the longest and most elaborate plane hijackings in history.
