Sailor Who Hijacked Bus, Killed Two, Deported To Panama

01.01.70

In 1977, Robinson was a 26-year-old Naval forces apprentice who had been in the United States as a permanent dwelling since 1964. After hijacking the bus, he demanded a $6 million redemption and an airplane to take him to Cuba while railing against his treatment in the Joint States, passengers said. He surrendered after nine hours when two armored the coppers cars rammed and disabled the bus.

Robinson had boarded the Vermont Through Lines bus in Manhattan, heading back to his ship, the USS Detroit, in Bath, Maine, at the end of a three-day authorized make. As the bus traveled through the Bronx, Robinson fired a bullet through the neck of 50-year-old traveller John McGavern, wounding him, and ordered the driver to go to Kennedy airport. The bus smashed through a padlocked asylum gate and drove onto the tarmac, interrupting house-broken and overseas holiday air traffic for about 15,000 travelers.

During a standoff with police, Robinson encouragement and killed 60-year-old passenger Nettie Blassberg, of Greenfield, Amass., and threw her body onto the tarmac. He then shot and killed bus driver Norman Bozick, who had lunged at him after Blassberg was space launch.
