The story

Passengers gather at Ellinikon International Airport to board TWA Flight 847, which has just arrived from Cairo for its continuing flight to Rome's Fiumicino Airport. After the aircraft leaves Athens, two passengers, "Castro" and Saiid, brandish pistols and hand grenades and take over the plane. Derickson is forced at gunpoint to the flight deck door, where she realizes neither of the two hijackers speak English, but one speaks her native German.
