September 27, 1977 Television and Film Star, Carole Wells boards a JAL airplane on what is supposed to be a fabulous honeymoon trip around the world en route from Cairo to Bombay then on to Bangkok. In a flash of fury her life spirals out of control when Japanese Airlines Flight 472 is Hijacked by violent terrorists of the Japanese Red Army and taken to Dacca, Bangladesh. In a prison at 39,000 feet, on a plane carrying 6 million dollars in diamonds, a hostage of relentless tormentors, Carole's paradigm shifts upon being thrust into the face of evil. The ugly truth reveals to be more horrific and permanent than she had ever encountered in any role or Hollywood screenplay. This is her memoir... "Covered in a red and white scarf the hijacker shoved the steel nozzle of his gun in my mouth. I tried to resist but he shoved it harder against my lips and teeth. The pain of the gun hurting my gums and the rising heat disoriented me. I felt dizzy, weak and nauseous from being dehydrated. The temperature grew hotter and hotter. Perspiration dripped down my face; little rivets ran down my breast and stomach. Soon my wet shirt and jeans were clinging to me. Everything seemed to be moving in an alternative reality. I realized these crazy men were now in control of my life."
