Hijackings

Aircraft taken over by force or by threat, from diversions that ended with everyone released to sieges and crashes. The records on the map are placed where each Wikipedia article puts them.

The NTSB does not code these as a kind of event; the records come from Wikipedia articles whose infobox or title names it.
