prepared for a change when you throw a punch be ready for a battle pretty well off speech and down the street into class. international airport. a t u one five four from here heading for leningrad. but once the plane was airborne its flight crew reported to ground control that the aircraft had been hijacked. terrorists were demanding a diversion to london. the events that followed the plane's emergency landing close to the finish border became a nightmare for its passengers. people were lying here under this hatch. and many had severe injuries. the passenger plane had been hijacked by a family of eleven. the children played together in

a jazz band and together they planned the hijacking the elder children died in an assault on the captured plane having first killed their own mother. my elder brother shot my mom before my eyes how could he commit such a sin. how did they smuggle explosives and weapons aboard. musicians into terrorists many new details of the case have only now come to light twenty five years after the tragedy. the first ever children's jazz band to appear in eastern siberia was an instant success. the documentary was soon made about the family it was throughout the country. in the usa being

criticized for its part in. the state even tried to ban it but for this extraordinary band from success was guaranteed it was made up of seven kids. most. households. when the first documentary about the family was filmed. was most impressed by the youngest brother . different. family. brothers.

what were you doing there and what were your brothers doing sitting there crying. that was afraid the plane. member being warned it. committed suicide after shooting the. flight crew members think of march the eighth. they always gather together. at least for a few. just like today the pilots then gave the flight attendants flowers. 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. one of the being two weeks before the tragedy we attended a training course devoted to what the cabin crew should do in case of a hijack a ten minute journey in 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. kept. on board will probably have to call the police. and then she showed us the note. change cars 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. before 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. everyone in the. children off. this time she went with them as head of the family. in fact. the family had.

experimented with. packed with explosives. during the. security. still. carrying a musical instrument. looks very similar in appearance to the middle. nicknamed the american.

sometimes. we already. at this rehabilitation center in hard to recognize. in this wheelchair at the time with twelve years old when they boarded the plane he was extremely. fully aware of what awaited his whole family.

that. lives here. who didn't take part in the hijacking she already had her own family 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 mementos 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. actually i can show you. very close to. he's gone missing. investigators were inclined to 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 their music. together. officially the older brothers were. most of the time they were touring the. members had no time to study. wanted them to bring home the money from. the college. it was hard talking to her she was inflexible 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 crewmembers negotiating with the terrorists. just how serious their intentions were. discussed between. the crew would. i want to talk to them. confidential actions of the crew in case of skyjacking. only agrees to refuel the plane abroad that captain shall make the decision to imitate a landing at a foreign 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 for situation assessment when landing when the plane landed the terrorists had no idea that they'd been taken to a military airfield on soviet soil. crew expected the terrible tragedy that was yet to come there was still to go before the catastrophic conclusion. you know sometimes you see a story. you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear part of it and realize everything you thought. i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture.

which. we can with. the consensus you. choose the opinions that invigorating to. choose the stories that impact your life choose the access to. wealthy british style. market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy

with max cause or a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kaiser report on our. northwest russia what was once the secret military field. is a retired military pilot on march the eighth nine hundred eighty eight his group 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 at an air base in finland. missions managed to make the notice in time we expect the plane would be directed here in everything else would happen next to this hangar we hope the trick would work and we did what we could. shortly before landing. took out their guns again they asked one of the flight attendants to sit next to them as a human shield twenty eight year olds tomorrow. of the cabin crew was taken

hostage. when you have 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 there bill. the military airfield is now abandoned this old command post is where the assault operation commander spoke to the flight crew of the hijacked plane. as

a former eye crafts technician he was on combat duty at the command post. time of the assault this was full of generals there was barely room to move. when the plane landed the security scorcher and rushed to the landing field. with kalashnikovs that's when the terrorists realized they were still in the soviet union and i think . when the i found out that they'd been deceived they were furious you wouldn't she said they were panicking they started shooting at the cockpit. tried to calm them down she kept telling them this is bin and this is finland i can remember her words begin with i was probably tomorrow. i said something obscene to her and then fired a shot. this footage shows dimitri who killed.

the idea of escaping the soviet union. to take the entire family with them to. go back to the. control of the whole situation. if it was for the good of the family. 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 and they couldn't do anything but play music there was no other option. we started learning to. communicate once we fled abroad.

understand. this incredible stupidity this was unbelievably stupid what was this all for. the military security. of the hijacked planes crew did they continue to make excuses for delaying takeoff. by radio that. we had to drag as long as we could. to get here and help the passengers. to appease the older revisions 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. but i didn't open the valve.

this way the terrorists could see it was under pressure this created the impression that the plane was being. meanwhile the passengers in the cabin were preparing to die after the flight attendant was killed it was clear that the had nothing to lose . so one of them said i'll count to ten captain if you don't start the engine 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. hide behind newspapers magazines.

that we couldn't wait any longer that they blow us up but they kept saying the same thing tried all the time. make them let the passengers out in exchange for something this is all completely unrealistic about moments. the pilots started the engines they could no longer wait for the moscow assault team. prepared to kill passengers using noise from the. two 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 start 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 a bag 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 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 when. the investigation revealed

that the assault team killed three people. told how his older brothers and mother died he served as a liaison between them during the hijack. of the shotgun and shut down a mother. her skull was opened up. made to. the toilet and. you're fraid of being shot yes naturally. the surviving family members. six. seven months pregnant. 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. was 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 many of the neighbors tried to talk to. 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 and normal family. continue to play music. musically gifted children. they played another kind of music.

educators try to help them get about those events. to play the trumpet. he played. let me take. yes a few years ago. this rehabilitation center in because of a traumatic brain injury which. the doctors don't object to. the question. video.

because. from spain. take good care of. good. family. i've never said anything bad about them and i never well i had very good brothers excellent brother is very honest and fair they didn't want to kill anyone. they only killed themselves. to the.

field. couldn't afford the trip. mother and brothers grave. dreams could come true. but they would never have. ceased to exist forever.
