Non plus ultra

Summary of the article “Vasp flight 375”On September 29th, 1988, in an attempt to kill president (and big-time mafioso) José Sarney, the unemployed construction worker Raimundo Nonato Alves da Conceição (28) committed an act of suicidal revenge by attempting to fly a hijacked Boeing 737-300 into the presidential palace, which is contiguous with the twin towers housing the Brazilian Congress and Senate.Raimundo Nonato attributed the economic crisis in Brazil (inflation was 933% in 1988) to the poor performance of president Sarney and wanted to get even. Carrying a revolver caliber .32, he bought a ticket to Rio and boarded Vasp flight 375 in Belo Horizonte. Airports had no metal detectors back then.The plane took off at 10:42 am with 105 passengers and 8 crew. Twenty minutes later, Raimundo Nonato drew his revolver and approached the cockpit. Co-pilot Ronaldo Dias tried to stop him but was injured in the ear by a gun shot. Firing another five shots at the door, one of which wounded co-piloto Gilberto Renher in the leg, Raimundo Nonato forced his way into the cockpit. He reloaded the gun and informed the crew he was hijacking the plane.Captain Fernando Murilo Lima e Silva (41) managed to send a “code 7700” (or 7500?) message on the transponder, making air traffic controllers aware of the hijacking. However, when copilot Salvador Evangelista stooped to pick up the microphone he was fatally shot in the back of the head.Mirage III jets were scrambled at the Anápolis airbase. The president canceled his appointments for the day.The captain told the hijacker the target would be enveloped in clouds, making it impossible to hit it, and that the plane was low on fuel. Since Raimundo Nonato wouldn´t give up his suicidal plan, the captain decided to perform a daring barrel roll to take the hijacker by surprise. This maneuver had never before been perfomed with a Boeing 737! The trick didn´t work. Then the captain tried a corkscrew downward spin.The plane was out of fuel and the authorities had lost hope of a happy landing, but Captain Murilo managed to land safely in Goiânia. Now the hijacker started negotiating for a small plane (a Bandeirante) in which to make his escape. However, when Raimundo Nonato disembarked, using Captain Murilo as a shield, he was shot three times in the hip by snipers.Eight hours had passed.Raimundo Nonato (left) and Captain Murilo (shot in the leg when Raimundo Nonato reacted to the sniper fire).The Federal Police concluded Raimundo Nonato had acted alone, without accomplices. A few days later, he died in the hospital. Rumors had it he had been given a lethal injection. The renowned coroner Fortunato Badan Palhares was brought in to confirm sickle-cell anemia as the cause of death, but the other doctors refused to sign the report ( http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortunato_Badan_Palhares ).Mirage III escorting the hijacked plane (left) and the hospitalized Raimundo Nonato (right).News report of the event:Wicked: http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voo_VASP_375 So there, who says you can´t perform daredevil maneuvers with a commercial airliner?What is this obsession with twin towers and twin pillars?. Oh yes, you bet we can! Look!And a new era begins ...
