Narrative:
A Fujian Airlines Y-7 aircraft with 42 passengers and eight crew members was hijacked to Taiwan during a domestic flight from Ganzhou Airport (KOW) to Xiamen Airport (XMN) . The hijackers, a Chinese couple accompanied by their 11-year old daughter, handed a flight attendant a note threatening to blow up the aircraft unless it was flown to Taiwan. The man then overpowered the flight attendant and demanded that the pilots open the cockpit door. When the door was opened, the hijacker gave the note to the pilot . Upon arrival in Taipei, the hijackers surrendered and gave authorities the device, which was found to consist of an empty vitamin bottle containing four batteries, matches, electric wires, and nails . The hijackers were detained in Taiwan on air piracy charges .
