In the struggle that followed, superumory Cap- tain Dinny Lawrence, hit the man on the head with the aircraft's escape hatchet as nearly 60' passengers watched, terrified.
During the struggle, a shot was fired which pane trated the airline's roof, but because the plane, with- in 10 minutes of landing at Brisbane, Queenslarid, was already descending, the pressurized cabin was not affected.
When the Electra was 10 minutes from Bris- bane on a flight from Sydney, the man ordered the hostess to bring the captain to him.
The First Officer, T. R. Bennett, approached the man who demanded the pilot alter course.
Mr Bennett reported to the Captain,' who imma- diately flew out to sea while Bennett returned to the cabin and told the passengers "Sorry, we have input- ficient fuel for a flight to Darwin. Will Rockhampton do?"
As the discussion continued, Capt. Lawrence got into position to stun the man with the hatchet.
