October 1985 CE
The hijackers surrender, after a two-day drama, in exchange for a pledge of safe passage.
However, when an Egyptian jet tries to fly the hijackers to freedom, U.S. Navy F-14 fighters intercept it and force it to land at the NATO air base in Sicily.
The terrorists are taken into custody by Italian authorities, who allow two of the operatives to escape on diplomatic passports.
