*On 26 September 1956, the first hijacking of a commercial flight with political purposes was of the Lloyd Aereo Boliviano on 26 September 1956. The airplane ([[Douglas DC-4|DC-4]]), carried 47 prisoners. They were being transported from [[Santa Cruz de la Sierra|Santa Cruz, Bolivia]] to the town of El Alto, in [[La Paz Department (Bolivia)|La Paz]]. There, a political group was waiting to take them to a concentration camp located in Carahuara de Carangas, [[Oruro, Bolivia|Oruro]]. The 47 prisoners gained control of the aircraft in mid-flight and rerouted the airplane to [[Tartagal, Argentina]]. Two of the 47 prisoners took control of the aircraft controls and received instructions to again reroute to [[Salta|Salta, Argentina]] as the airfield in Tartagal was not big enough for the DC-4. They did and moments later arrived safely to the city of Salta. They told the government of the injustice they were submitted to, and received [[political asylum]].
