Although the hijacker lost his footing during these manoeuvres, he did not lose control of his weapon. However, he was now threatened by passengers, which allowed the Captain to land the damaged airplane with one engine out for lack of fuel. The hijacker was detained following a gun battle with police1 . ifalpa.org the pilot made two acrobatic maneuvers (a "tonneau" and a bolt) that were witnessed by a Mirage III fighter. It was successful in the second maneuver, which allowed a quick landing at Santa Genoveva Airport at 1:45 pm. On land, the hijacking and negotiations continued for several hours. The hijacker even demanded a smaller plane to flee, but around 7:00 pm, when he was descending the flight ladder using the pilot as a shield , he was shot three times by the elite Brazil Federal Police team. He died two days later, a victim of Sickle-cell disease , unrelated to the shots, according to the coroner Fortunato Badan Palhares. The aircraft was a Boeing 737-3L9 (manufacturers serial number 23176, Boeing line number 1213, registration PP-SNT). It was manufactured in 1986. It was sold to CP Air in April 1986, after he was delivered to VASP , Guinness Peat Aviation , Morris Air Service and ultimately ending up in the fleet of U.S carrier Southwest Airlines . Southwest stopped service of the aircraft under the registration N698SW in 2013, owing to severe damage and scrapped in Greenwood Airport since then.
