Cooper’s airplane hijacking serves to illustrate another point. After his story hit the press, there was an epidemic of copycat attacks. In thirty-one hijackings the following year, half of the hijackers demanded parachutes, and the technique even came to have its own name—parajacking. It got so bad that the FAA required Boeing to install a special latch—the Cooper Vane—on the back staircases of its 727s so that they couldn’t be lowered in the air.
>I remember having a screwdriver confiscated at a checkpoint in the Newark, New Jersey, airport and buying a replacement at a store inside the security perimeter. Two months later I wandered around Washington National Airport, inside security, and found for sale in the airport shops all the ingredients I needed to build an incendiary device.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabena_Flight_571 tldr: 4 человека захватили самолет и запросили высвобождение 315 палестинских террористов из Израиля. Пилот закодированным сообщением запросил помощь, потом пришли люди в костюмах техников и постреляли террористов. Как они пришли, я не понял. Судя по тому, что это было на следующий день, самолет совершил посадку.
Один из тех, кто был в костюмах техников, - текущий премьер-министр Израиля, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Netanyahu .
@ckorzhik Ты еще до кучи откопай историю про совков, которые спиздили самолет и полетели в израиль, потому что совкопропаганда им сказала, что в израиле террористам рады, где их и приняли.
>September 26, 1981: Yugoslav Airlines Flight from Titograd via Dubrovnik to Belgrade
>...
>When they reached Israeli airspace, the crew was ordered to turn around immediately or the plane would be shot down by Israeli fighters, since Yugoslavia did not have diplomatic relationships with Israel at that time. Hijackers agreed to leave Israeli airspace and order Captain to fly to Cyprus. The plane landed at Larnaca International Airport at Cyprus. The hijackers agreed to release an old and sick woman who was supposed to be urgently transported from Titograd to a Belgrade hospital. During the hostage release, one of the passengers lit newspapers in the toilet of the aircraft and started yelling fire, panic broke out, hijackers were confused and all 78 hostages and 7 crew members managed to escape, and the hijackers were arrested by Cyprus police.
