abstract:The Fokker 100 is a medium size twin-turbofan airliner from Fokker. Low operational costs and scant competition in the 100-seat short-range class led to strong sales when it was introduced in the late 1980s, but sales fell as competition increased.
Without firing a shot, they stole 120 packages of diamonds that had just been loaded into the hold of a Fokker-100 regional jet bound for Zurich, then escaped back through a hole cut in the perimeter fence.
