Hijack

Documentary. September 1970: a BOAC flight carrying twenty school children was hijacked by a Palestinian guerrilla faction; the first and reportedly the last hijacking of a British commercial airliner. Across five attempted hijackings, this episode forms a facet of the audacious Skyjack Sunday scheme. Featuring testimony from both hostages and their captors, Timewatch revisits the era when air travel was forever changed.
