At 01:30am on Halloween night, Raffaele Minichiello, dressed in camouflage, stepped on to the plane, a $15.50 ticket from Los Angeles to San Francisco in his hand.

This was the last stop on Trans World Airlines flight 85's journey across the US, which had started several hours earlier in Baltimore before landing at St Louis and then Kansas City.

At 01:30 on Friday, 31 October 1969, TWA flight 85 left Los Angeles for San Francisco. Fifteen minutes into the flight, the hijacking began.
I'm John Dodson and come with me on this story of the world's longest hijacking.
