In 1996, a bizarre hijacking of a hijacker in Ethiopia killed 125 people, including the hijackers, but the motives of the hijackers remain unknown to this day.
On November 23, a Boeing 767-260 was hijacked by three mobs just after taking off from Addis Ababa.
Three rioters broke into the cab, intimidated and violently beat the captain and co-pilot, and claimed to be "anti-Ethiopian government" people.
They frightened the passengers on board that they had a bomb to cause panic and held the captain and co-pilot hostage to follow their preset flight path.
However, at that time, the aircraft was not full of fuel, and the captain had planned to go to Nairobi to refuel, but was suspected and rejected by the mob.
Despite the captain's repeated emphasis that the plane to Australia would definitely die of fuel shortage in the middle of the flight, the three rioters desperately reprimanded the captain for doing so.
Fortunately, Captain Abate made a mind and flew the plane along the African coastline, ready to be diverted at any time when the fuel ran out.
However, the captain's move was soon discovered by the mob and he was beaten again.
Forced to do so, the captain had to risk his life to fly the plane to the island of comoros in central Africa.
Just as the plane arrived over the island of Comoros, it suddenly ran out of fuel, and the captain originally planned to land at the airport, but was beaten by the thugs, and finally had to make an emergency landing in the sea 500 meters off the coast.
Before the forced landing, the captain repeatedly announced that the life jackets worn should not be inflated, otherwise they would be stuck at the exit and could not go out, but many people still secretly inflated, resulting in 125 people drowning in the sea water that was stuck at the exit during the forced landing.
Three thugs were also drowned in the sea.
Only 48 people carried out the captain's orders and survived the man-made disaster.
The captain and co-pilot also died nine times and survived. #Ethiopia#Captain ##抢劫 #
