Image description

Yuan Bin, a pilot from mainland China's flag-carrier Air China, speaks after hijacking his own airliner from Beijing to Taiwan October 28. Yuan told reporters he was heavy-hearted but had "no regrets" and was quoted by interrogators as saying he was unhappy with his pay and work conditions at Air China. Yuan was at the controls when Flight CA905 left Beijing. It abandoned its course for Kunming in southwest China and veered out over the Taiwan strait and onward to Taiwan - briefly triggering military tensions as Taiwan air force jets scrambled to intercept it.
