Victor Sen Yung - Plane Hijacking

Plane Hijacking

In 1972, a Pacific Southwest Airlines plane on which Yung was a passenger was hijacked. The FBI stormed the plane, and in the ensuing gunfire Sen Yung was shot in the back. He and another wounded passenger survived, but a third passenger and the two hijackers were killed.

In 1975, he appeared on Garry Moore's To Tell The Truth show and related the events of the hijacking. With Yung dressed in a sport coat and flanked by two dissimilar imposters, none of the four panelists was able to choose him as the character actor.
