They can rebuild the White House,
but they will never...

1:25:07
forget me.
1:25:09
Not ever.
1:25:15
I was here, Maestro.
1:25:19
I did this.
1:25:21
And a man is only remembered for his work.
1:25:27
Just tell them that.
1:25:37
The first hijack attempt
in the United States in more than a year...

1:25:40
was made today in Baltimore. It failed.
1:25:42
There had not been another hijacking
attempt in this country until today.

1:25:46
And it happened at the same Baltimore
airport, but with far worse consequences.

1:25:50
Forty-four-year-old Samuel Bicke
walked to the departure gate...

1:25:53
carrying a harmless-looking attaché case
which contained gasoline and a detonator.

1:25:58
He was running and acting
like he was crazy. Out of his mind.

1:26:02
Bicke ran through the boarding bridge
yelling for passengers to get out of his way.

1:26:06
A policeman ran after him, but by that time...
1:26:08
Bicke was inside and had forced
the stewardesses to close the door.

1:26:11
The policeman
fired through the door's window...

1:26:13
and killed the would-be hijacker.
1:26:15
His motive may never be known, but
authorities say that there's no question...

1:26:19
the hijacker intended to destroy himself
and everyone else aboard Delta Flight 523.

Neil Strauser, CBS News, at the
Baltimore Washington International Airport.
