In between (i.e, no specific destination, but a crash was desired)
...a man tried to hijack and crash a plane here in California
a couple of years ago (IIRC, the flight was from Southern California up to
Northern California). The cockpit crew overpowered
him, and landed safely. IIRC, the criminal venue was in San Francisco, and the
defense attorney tried to get bail for the client, on the grounds that he had
been mentally disturbed before, but was now "okay". (Don't recall what
happened.)
