The hijacking, or forcible seizure, of commercial aircraft in
flight became widespread during the 1960s. The passengers in the planes

Olympic games originated in ancient Greece in 776 B.C. The Greek
games, held once every four years, reached their height in the 5th and
4th centuries B.C., but were discontinued at the end of the 4th
century. The modern revival of the games began in Athens in 1896. They
have since been staged at 4-year intervals in cities around the world.
Women were first allowed to compete in 1912, and a separate series of
winter games began in 1924.
