Page "Julienne Bušić" Paragraph 4

On September 10, 1976, she, her husband, and three others hijacked domestic Trans World Airlines flight 355 departing from New York for Chicago, using the threat of a bomb, which later turned out to be a harmless pressure cooker.

They flew the airliner over London, where they dropped pamphlets promoting Croatian independence from Yugoslavia.

The group surrendered without bloodshed, but an American policeman was killed and three others injured while attempting to defuse an explosive left behind in a storage locker at Grand Central Terminal.
