Aeroflot Flight SU2422 was hijacked by a lone male passenger during a domestic flight to Moscow (SVO) from St .Petersburg (LED). As the TU-154 aircraft neared Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport, the passenger threatened to "blow up" the plane and demanded to be taken to Sweden. The pilot, however, continued onto Moscow. The hijacker surrendered to authorities and apologized to his fellow passengers. He did not have an explosive device.
