Hop Sing and the hijacking

Actor Victor Sen Yung became famous as one of Charlie Chan's sons in the movie series, and then later as cook Hop Sing on the Gunsmoke television program. In 1972, he was on a Pacific Southwest Airlines flight, which was hijacked. The FBI stormed the plane, and in the ensuing gunfire Yung was shot in the lower back. He and another wounded passenger survived, but a third passenger and the two hijackers were killed.
