As Jon Mooallem would describe it, "Burke, waiting on deck, thrust his hand enthusiastically over his head to greet his friend at the plate. Baker, not knowing what to do, smacked it." Baker told historians later, "His hand was up in the air, and he was arching way back... So I reached up and hit his hand. It seemed like the thing to do."

  • Three members of the Baader-Meinhof Gang (who referred to themselves as the Red Army Faction) were found dead in their individual cells on the seventh floor of in West Germany's Stammheim Prison, in what police described as a simultaneous suicide in the wake of the failure of the Lufthansa hijacking. Gang-founder Andreas Baader and Jan-Carl Raspe both had gunshot wounds to the head, while Gudrun Ensslin hanged herself with the electric cord of a record player that she had been allowed in her cell. Baden-Wurttemberg's Justice Minister admitted that he could not explain how the men obtained guns, or how Ensslin was able to hang herself. The suicide attempt of Irmgard Möller, who stabbed herself with a butter knife, failed.[74] Red Army supporters would claim that the prisoners were murdered, though a subsequent search of the prison "found spaces behind wall boards in the cells that contained batteries, wiring and other apparatus enabling Baader-Meinhof prisoners to communicate from cell to cell", and sufficient space behind boards in the Baader and Raspe cells to conceal a pistol.[75] Upon learning of the deaths of Baader, Raspe and Ensslin, the Red Army Faction killed industrialist Hanns Martin Schleyer, who had been held hostage since his kidnapping on September 5.
