IC814 - The KANDAHAR Hijack

In the year 1999, #indianairlines Flight #IC-814, an #airbus #a300 was traveling from Kathmandu to Delhi. It was carrying 172 passengers who for 5 days, went on to live the worst nightmare of their lives. This is their story, and the story of India's #worst #Hijacking. For more than 7 days the plane flew from one location to another, from #amritsar to #lahore to #dubai and then to #Kandahar. See how the events unfolded and how the #Indian Government both managed, and mishandled the entire situation.

The events of this story eventually resulted in major political events of the 20th Century. Including that of the #911 attacks and the 2001 Indian #parliament attacks.

Rupin Katyal was an alumnus of my school in Gurgaon. After this incident, my school decided to award scholarships on his name which had to be given to 3 students of the school. I was one of the 3 lucky ones to get this scholarship, which I still fondly remember. RIP Rupin Katyal.

This could have been stopped many times, but there are only 3 things that prevented those: Corruption, incompetence and conflict between countries.

the captain saying that they have enough fuel for Mumbai but not Lahore is basically calling the hijackers stupid...

[EraserKing]

rupin katyal suffered for something he didn't do wrong. It's not fair. Imagine how his wife reacted. They just went for their honeymoon.

Just 8 years before this highjacking in 1991, Singapore Airlines flight SQ114 was hijacked by 4 terrorists from the Pakistan People's Party midflight from Malaysia in demand for the release of a prisoner. The pilots and negotiators got the plane to land in Singapore, and after no progress was made, Singaporean commandos stormed the plane and killed all 4 hijackers in under a minute with no deaths to civilians and the commandos.

IC814 was the exact opposite of what happened onboard SQ114 despite only 8 years passing, and is an absolute disgrace. It speaks volumes about the Indian government

20:12 One of the hijacker named zahoor mistry (who stabbed rupin katyal) was eliminated by unknown gunmen inside pakistan in 2022

[skullsaintdead]

20:12 not so, apparently. From 2022, India Today: "Zahoor Mistry alias Zahid Akhund, one of the terrorists who hijacked the Air India plane, IC-814, in 1999, has been killed in Karachi, Pakistan. He was reportedly killed in his house in an attack by two bike-borne assailants on March 1." Allegedly, even Pakistani inteligence was unaware of the murder plot, the assasins haven't been identified. However, the Taliban have appointed the son of the 1999 Air India hijack plotter (father & plotter Mullah Omar, son Mullah Mohammad Yaqoob)
as Defense Minister. What a sick country, was given everything to defend itself against the Taliban but those cowardly men just dropped their guns & fled, leaving the women to suffer. Dispicable.

And then India is lectured about how they should make peace with Pakistan

I do sincerely hope that you love this video. It's been in production for around 4 months with lots of research and animation behind it. Let me know what you think ❤

[FNerd]

I have never heard of this hijacking before. I can't imagine what it's like to be on a plane like that for five days not knowing if you're gonna die or live. I wouldn't want to ever fly again if I was a passenger on that plane.

I was 9 years old boarding Necon Airlines and shared the boarding gate with this IA flight. Our Necon Airlines flight departed before this flight. Came home to frantic calls from relatives asking to turn on the TV. The news is still fresh in my mind.

[vishnuvijayakumar]

Wyngx your 21 minute story is far ahead and better than the movie IC814 on Netflix

[flyeagle]

Masterpiece video. Yes in past India was vulnerable to this type of attack . Now they don't even try to. Because India knows how to tackle it now.

[ramandeep_singh_makkar]

About the hijackers as per available information
1) The one who killed Rupin Katyal was shot dead in Karachi in March 2022 by unidentified gunmen.
2) One of them dies due to natural causes.
3) One was killed in 2001 Indian Parliament Attack.

Sad part is Canada pays tribute to the member of that group today in the parliament.

We flew the same IC814 from Kathmandu to Delhi just 1 day before on 23 December 1999. I was 7 years old! I still remember how all our relatives would call us after this new broke out! We used to have one of those MTNL landlines.
My father wanted to overstay for another day or 2 but my mom argued that we return on the same day because that would require us to postpone our return tickets too. Those days it used to be a big task to do that!
Alsp I remember the Indian airlines would serve almost everything like they do in business class these days.. lol! When we went to Kathmandu, Nepal, that was the first time i saw or heard about Momos! It became popular in Delhi like after 10 years!!

[kakashihatake]

When the 20 minute video is better than the entire series!!!

[Justsomebodyoninternet]

My father told me this story as a kid and I was in awe of the pilot, love seeing this getting visualised

[hamxqr]

I cant even think how my country cant even let a hijacked plane land safely think about those injured and wounded children and woman
