在媒体的狂热关注下，美国人威廉?波茨(William Potts)抵达哈瓦那机场。近30年前，他劫持了飞往古巴的一架飞机，现在回美国面对控告。
SOUNDBITE: U.S. National William Potts saying: "I'm very anxious to return and resolve this conflict that has been going on for too long. We are hoping for a just solution to this problem."
美国国民威廉?波茨(William Potts)：“我非常急切地想要回国解决这次持续已久的冲突。我们希望这个问题能够得到公正的解决。”
His saga began when he hijacked a Miami-bound plane with 56 people on board and forced the pilot to land in Cuba where he thought he'd be welcome. Instead, he was arrested and spent 13 years in a Cuban prison on air piracy charges. He's expected to be arrested on the same charge when he arrives in Miami. Believed to be a member of the Black Panthers militant group, he has been trying to return to the U.S. for years.
他的“英雄事迹”始于30年前。当时，他劫持了一架载有56人的飞往迈阿密的飞机，强迫飞行员在古巴着陆，他以为自己在这里会受到欢迎。相反，他却被逮捕，在古巴一座监狱度过了13年的时光。当他抵达迈阿密时可能会因同样的控罪被逮捕。据信他是激进组织黑豹党成员，多年来一直试图重返美国。
