#67: 105 Hostages - The Hijacking of Flight 701 (Case of Roger Holder&Cathy Kerkow) - a podcast by Stephanie Soo & Audioboom

A man with a briefcase entered the cockpit of Western Flight 701. The man tells the pilots there are 2 bombs on the plane and a grenade in his suitcase. 


For 20 hours - a couple terrorized the entire flight in hopes of having their demands met. They wanted $3 million dollars in cash, 5 parachutes, a woman on trial for murder to be handed over to them, and a flight to Vietnam. And for decades they got away with it - because the sky is the limit.

Koerner (honestly, one of my favorite books ever and this episode does not even come close to how thorough, entertaining, and gripping this book was. 10/10 must read) Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.comTo learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policyLearn more about your ad choices.
