After about 30 min flight from Riga to Murmansk the plane was hijacked and demanded to fly to Stockholm. Instead, pilots took plane to Helsinki, where it is seen photographed around 10 minutes after landing. A bit over an hour the hijacker surrendered peacefully to Finnish authorities and requested political asylum.
