Four heavily-armed Palestinian terrorists storm a Pan Am jumbo jet as it takes on passengers on the ground. The pilots escape, and a siege ensues. To emphasise their demands for a new crew, the terrorists shoot a passenger and throw his body out of the plane. Then they collect in passports, and call Michael John Thexton to the front of the plane to be their main bargaining counter.
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 story, relating for the first time the heroism of the flight attendants, the horror of the end of the siege, and its long aftermath – right up to the launch in April 2006 of a £10 billion lawsuit against Libya and Colonel Gadaffy, who are alleged to have paid for the attack to be carried out. The background of the US government’s “war on terror” has given the story new relevance – what can be learned from living with terror?
'This is a remarkable tale, of heroes and heroines, villains and the search for justice. Mike Thexton's story throws down challenges for us all.'
