The cause of the accident was that the plane was hijacked in the air and a bomb exploded in the cabin, causing a loss of pressure at high altitude. Fortunately, the co-pilot desent the altitude to 8,000 feet to ensure that the plane would not explode and disintegrate at high altitude. The damaged plane eventually made an emergency landing at Reykjavik Keflavik International Airport in Iceland. When the plane made an emergency landing, there was a big hole in the first-class cabin. Fortunately, Air Marshal Bill and the passengers next to him held the little girl's hand and almost sucked the little girl sitting in business class out of the cabin.
