After takeoff from San Francisco, Clay Thomas hijacked the Boeing 727, demanding the plane land in Oakland, California, and fuel up for a flight to Cuba. The crew negotiated the release of all the passengers and cabin crew while on the ground in Oakland waiting for fuel. Panicked by the sight of police vehicles, Thomas cut the fueling short and demanded an immediate departure to Cuba. Once the plane was airborne, the pilot explained that the aircraft still did not have enough fuel to reach Cuba, and Thomas agreed to land in Denver, Colorado, for more fuel. About 90 minutes after landing, the three members of the cockpit crew all jumped to safety from the open cockpit windows, all suffering injuries in the 18-foot (5.5-meter) jump. Within five minutes of the escape and without hostages, Thomas meekly surrendered to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation.[1] Thomas is currently{{when?|date=February 2017}} incarcerated in a mental Institution in Colorado.{{citation needed|reason=not supported by previous citation|date=June 2015}} References1. ^{{cite web | last = | first = | title = ASN Aircraft accident Boeing 727-222 registration unknown Memphis, Denver | publisher = Aviation Safety Network | date = | url = http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19780313-0 | accessdate = }} {{See also|List of Cuba–United States aircraft hijackings}}{{Aviation accidents and incidents in 1978}}{{coord|39|45|38.6|N|104|53|31.1|W|type:event_region:US-CO|display=title}}{{aviation-accident-stub}} 7 : Aviation accidents and incidents in the United States in 1978|Aircraft hijackings in the United States|United Airlines accidents and incidents|Airliner accidents and incidents in Tennessee|Airliner accidents and incidents in Colorado|1978 in Tennessee|1978 in Colorado |
