The STUPIDEST Hijacking in History - Ethiopian Flight 961

For Captain Leul Abate, lightning was about to strike for the third time. He had already survived two hijackings—and was about to face the most desperate one of all. On November 23, 1996, 175 passengers boarded Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961 for a routine one-hour journey, unaware they might never make it home. Three hijackers demanded the pilots fly to Australia—impossible with fuel for only a one-hour flight. As the plane turned east, fuel ran low and only ocean lay ahead. The hijackers wouldn’t listen. Captain Abate had fewer and fewer choices. This is the story of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961. ✈️ Don't forget to subscribe, Thanks for watching! #aviation #disaster #planecrash #hijacking
