after being hijacked. the events that followed the plane's emergency landing to the finish became a nightmare for its passengers. and many had. been hijacked by a family of. the children played together in a jet and together they. first killed their own mother. brother shot before my eyes. how did they smuggle explosives and weapons aboard. musicians into terrorists many details of the case have come to light twenty five years after the tragedy.

the first ever children to appear in eastern siberia was an instant success. the documentary was soon made about the family it was throughout the country. in the u.s. being criticized for its part in. the state even tried to ban it but for this extraordinary. success was guaranteed it was made up of seven kids with the family name. they lived in a house on the city's outskirts most of it with household chores. when the first documentary about the family was filmed. was most. impressed by the

youngest brother. played. the trombone. he would one day make a different film about the same family. brothers who would. flight attendant. ready to blow themselves up along with passengers on board. the plane what were you doing there and what were your brothers doing sitting there crying. afraid afraid of walt's. afraid there bub the plane. do you remember of march the number being warned it. major tragedy. the fact that the elder brothers committed suicide after shooting their

own mother who had nothing to do with. the. flight crew members think of march the eighth as a second birthday. they always gather together on this day at least for a few hours. just like today the pilots then gave the flight attendants flowers the eighth of march is international women's day. half the seats were empty and passengers were in festive mood when someone suddenly passed a note to one of the flight attendants she thought it was just a prank. whether the been two weeks before the tragedy we attended a training course devoted to what the cabin crew should do in case of a hijack attempt to me during that training session a mock terrorist can it be a very similar note yet so at that moment i just didn't take that little scrap of paper seriously but yes not at fast.

on board will probably have to call the police after we land and then she showed us the note. change karsh to london don't descend or we'll blow up the plane you are now under our command. assassin shot guns in the back row above the back of the seats about this high gun barrels. for the hijack i had a long stopover in the city of course. new passengers and their luggage had to be loaded and the aircraft needed refueling. during that time one of the passengers noticed the older brothers. i overheard a conversation between the two brothers one of them had bought something it is even

a shop i was standing near by and heard him say to his brother in a low voice look what i bought to remember our homeland. most everyone in the. children off. this time she went with them as head of the family no one could have imagined that one of the musical instruments in fact. the family had. experimented with. packed with explosives and.

still. carrying a musical instrument. looks very similar in appearance to the middle. nicknamed the. sometime. we already.

at this rehabilitation center in hard to recognize. in this wheelchair at the time of the hijack he was twelve years old when they boarded the plane he was extremely. fully aware of what awaited his whole family. that. if anything went wrong. and we were attacked on russian soil. the soviet union. some hundred forty kilometers from. here. is the only member of the. who didn't take part in the hijacking she already had her own family with her

husband and children below son. shortly before the tragedy. this is the album that all my sister brought me in february and i asked why are you giving me these old albums she answered i've made new albums and these you can have as. we have new albums i thought it was very strange. three children of. the investigation that she wasn't involved she was given custody of her four younger brothers and sisters. the fated plane. actually i can show you.

he's gone missing. investigators believe that the hijacking had been instigated by the mother. a strong woman with a strong. as many children. because of a previous health condition. i'd like them to keep playing to have. officially the old. most of the time they were touring the. time to study.

them to bring home the money from. the college. it was hard talking to her. all she knew was that she had her children so she hovered over. naturally when something good became of the boys their mother became even more protective we don't know who she felt she had to protect them from. a major decision one of the crew members negotiating with the terrorists. their intentions were. discussed between us.

i want to talk to them. confidential actions on the crew in case of skyjacking. only agrees to refuel the plane abroad the captain shall make the decision to imitate the landing for an airport and choose the most appropriate airfield within the territory of the soviet union. and then some later we found out that we were followed by a fighter plane as if they were under orders to destroy the plane if it crossed the border. altitude one hundred meters vertical for situation assessment when landing when the plane landed the terrorists had no idea that they'd been taken to a military airfield soviet soil. crew expected the terrible tragedy that was. there was still to go before the catastrophic conclusion.

you know sometimes you see a story. you think you understand it and then. you here's part of it and realized everything you thought. i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture. which. we can with. the consensus here. choose the opinions that invigorating to. choose the stories that impact your life. choose the access to.

old free broadcast video for your media projects a free video dog party the. northwest russia. military field. office a retired military pilot on march the eighth one thousand nine hundred groups was given orders to paint a sign in english on the entrance to the furthermost hangar to make the terrorists believe that the plane had landed as an air base in finland. missions managed to make the notice in time we expect the plane would be directed here never anything else would happen next to this hangar we hope the trip would work and we did what we could. shortly before the event took out their guns again they asked one of the flight attendants to sit next to them as

a human shield twenty eight year old. from. the cabin crew was taken hostage. my own plan to the cabin two of us tomorrow at first sight with the tray and i was following. the of h. scans immediately rushed from the back row threatened us with their shotguns and shouted one of you go back or we shoot she told me go back or they'll start shooting their book. club. the military airfield is now abandoned this old command post is where the operation commander spoke to the flight crew of the hijacked plane. as a former eye craft

a technician he was on combat duty at the command post. at the time of the assault this was full of general there was barely room to move. the security scorcher and rush to the landing field they were armed with kalashnikovs that's when the terrorists realized they were still in the soviet union. when they found out that they'd been deceived they were furious. they were panicking they started shooting at the cockpit. trying to calm them down she kept telling them this is bin and this is spin and i can remember her words that was probably. said something obscene to her and then fired a shot. who killed.

the idea. to. go back to the. control of the whole situation. if it was for the good. it was the boy's idea to start earning money mom didn't work and they were living in an apartment so there was no more livestock they had to earn a living they couldn't do anything but play music there was no other option. we started learning to. communicate.

understand. this incredible stupidity this was unbelievably stupid what was this all for. the military security. of the hijacked planes crew. take off. we have to drive. to get here and help the passengers. to appease the older of the flight engineer resorted to a clever subterfuge. i went up on to the right wing and pretended i was refueling the plane. you know the proximity with. his equipment i was feeling also. but i didn't open the valve.

this way the terrorists could see it was under pressure this created the impression the plane was being. meanwhile the passengers in the cabin were preparing to die after the flight attendant was killed it was clear that he had nothing to lose. by one of them said i'll count to ten captain if you don't start the engine and i'll shoot the first passenger he started counting one two three i watched the passengers that were sitting next to me they were helpless and desperately trying to cover their hearts with. they were hiding behind newspapers magazines. it was more. that we couldn't wait any longer that they blow us up but they kept

saying the same thing tried all the time negotiate make them let the passengers out and exchange something this is all completely unrealistic about moments. of. the pilots started the engines they could no longer wait for the moscow assault team. prepared to kill passengers using noise from the turbines as cover to local police groups approached on both sides. with pistols two officers used a rope from the flight deck to climb into the cockpit. had experience of hijacked aircraft. it was absolutely useless totally was to stall when the plane the runway so the plane started moving. into the magazines not knowing where or what for that's it.

and a few minutes later they detonate. homemade bomb the cabin immediately caught fire . people jumped on to the concrete right from this hatch it's about full metres off the ground. when it was my turn to evacuate i looked down before jumping and saw people lying there women in high heels naturally they were badly injured when they landed. the rescue operation was a complete failure the field was soon empty none of the high ranking officials wanted to take responsibility for the or sold for the plane being completely destroyed by fire or for the passenger evacuation. i saw with my own all eyes that one of the passengers jumped from the plane got to his feet and started running he got past the cordon and then i heard a shot i realized it was shot in the back of. the investigation revealed

that the assault team killed three people. told how his older brothers and mother died. between them during the hijacking. of the shotgun and shut down a mother. her skull was opened up. me to. the toilet and. you're fraid of being shot yes naturally. the surviving family members. in jail. six. seven months pregnant. and prison. future fate was equally tragic.

a few years later. a drug smuggling where he was killed. during a drug. scene that at the end of the run when she got out of jail she'd be ok but in reality freedom turned out to be even more frightening. returns to the. street. there's just a fence here instead of. the house the old wooden building was soon derelict. twenty five years ago. one by one.

you have a dog. this is where. the sidewalk was here and the house over there. today . started building a new two story house. and even. of course we weren't happy about what the. bad people lived here but after reading their story i'd say they were just normal people normal family. continue to play music. musically gifted children.
