United Airlines Flight 696 was a flight from San Francisco International Airport in San Francisco, California, to Seattle, Washington, with 75 people in board.
 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.
 Thomas is currently incarcerated in a mental Institution in Colorado.

 A total of 128 people were killed, including seven of nine crew members and 75 of 93 passengers on Flight 8301 and 46 of 110 passengers on Flight 2812.
The Boeing 727 is a midsized, narrow-body three-engined jet aircraft built by Boeing Commercial Airplanes from the early 1960s to 1984.
 It can carry 149 to 189 passengers and later models can fly up to 2700 nmi nonstop.
 Intended for short and medium-length flights, the 727 can use relatively short runways at smaller airports.
 It has three Pratt & Whitney JT8D engines below the T-tail, one on each side of the rear fuselage with a center engine that connects through an S-duct to an inlet at the base of the fin.
 The 727 is Boeing's only trijet aircraft.
