Some people are afraid of flying. They are worried that the plane will crash or that someone may hijack it. People who hijack a plane usually threaten to kill the passengers or blow up the plane if they do not get what they want. Hijackers often want money, but sometimes they want other things—to have their friends let out of jail, or to go to another country. The first hijacking occurred on June 16, 1948, on a plane traveling from Macau to Hong Kong. Some men with guns told the pilot that they wanted money. The pilot tried to fight them off, but the hijackers shot him. The plane crashed into the ocean, and nearly everyone on it died. Only one man survived. His name was Wong-yu Man. When the police brought the plane out of the ocean, they looked at it very carefully. They found bullet holes in its walls. That’s how they knew there had been a hijacking.
A police officer sat near Wong-yu Man’s bed in the hospital. Before long, Wong-yu Man started to talk in his sleep. “Where are my men?” his said. “Are they all right? Did they get the money?”
The police officer wrote everything down. He thought that Wong-yu was one of the hijackers, and he was right. When Wong-yu came out of the hospital, he went to jail for a long time.
