many had. been hijacked by a family of. the children. and together they. first killed their own mother. brother shot. explosives and weapons aboard. musicians into terrorists many details of the case have come to light. after the tragedy.

the first ever children to appear in eastern siberia was an instant success. the documentary was about the family it was throughout the country. in the u.s. being criticized. even tried to. but for this extraordinary. success was guaranteed it was made up of seven kids. they lived in a house. most of. the household. when the first documentary about the family was filmed. was most impressed by the youngest brother. and.

he. could never have imagined that he would one day make a different film about the same family those same musical brothers who would hijack a passenger plane flight attendant and stand ready to blow themselves up along with passengers on board. the plane what were you doing there and what were your brothers doing there i was sitting there crying. i was afraid afraid of was that i was afraid above the plane. do you remember of march the eighth member being warned it. was a major tragedy. the fact that the elder brothers committed suicide after shooting their own mother who had nothing to do with. the t u one five four flight crew members think of march the eighth as

a second birthday year after year they always gather together on this day at least for a few hours 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. two weeks before the tragedy we attended a training course devoted to what the cabin crew should do in case of a hijack attempt 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. we. will probably have to call the police. and then she showed us the note.

change karsh to london don't do sand or we'll blow up the plane you are now under our command. shotguns 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. everyone in the large of

yours can family went to port where they were well known usually the mother would only see her children off when they went on tour this time she went with them as head of the family. in fact. in my. experiments with. packed with explosives and.

still. looks very similar in appearance to the middle of. the. sometime. rehabilitation center in hard to recognize.

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. is the. who didn't take part in the hijacking she already had her own family and. fellow son. shortly before the tragedy.

this is the album that old 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. actually i can show you was. 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. almost. most of the time they were touring the. members had no time to study. wanted them to bring home the money from the. conflicts with the college.

it was hard talking to her 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. their intentions were. discussed between us. i want to talk to them.

they kept. their field within the territory. we found out that we were. as if they were to destroy the plane if it crossed the border. situation. where landing. the. field. crew expected the terrible tragedy that was.

more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. operations are all. northwest russia. 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 as an airbase 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 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 old. of the cabin crew was taken hostage. would 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.

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 technician he was on combat duty at the command post. at a time of the assault this was full of general there was barely room to move. when the plane landed the security scorcher rushed to the landing field. that's when the terrorists realized they were still in the soviet union and i. 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 fin and i can remember what i was probably. i said

something obscene to her and then fired a shot. this footage shows dimitri who killed flight attendant. he played trumpet in the family. the investigation the idea of a scaping the soviet union crossed the older brother's mind during the tour abroad in one nine hundred eighty seven they decided to take the entire family with them to do that they had to go back to the u.s. to collect their mother and sisters from. the older brothers took control of the whole situation. would do. 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.

in summer one thousand nine hundred seven we hired a neighbor who worked as an english translator we started learning different phrases we wanted to be able to communicate once we fled abroad. i still can't understand. this incredible stupidity this was unbelievably stupid what was this all for. after the plane had landed at the military base security forces. of the hijacked planes crew they continued to make up new excuses for delaying takeoff. we were told by radio that. we have to drag. along as we. have time to get here and help free 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. his equipment the feeling. but i didn't. 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 the had nothing to lose. so 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 of the three i watched the passengers that were sitting next to me they were helpless and desperately trying to cover their hearts with their seat belt 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 in exchange for something this is all completely unrealistic at that moment. 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 start when the

plane began to move along the runway so the plane started moving. into the magazines not knowing where or what for. 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. his liaison between them during the hijack. of the shotgun and shut down a mother. her skull was opened up. the toilet. you're fraid of being shot yes naturally all the surviving family members was sentenced. to six.

seven months pregnant. prison. future fate was equally tragic. a few years later. a drug smuggling way 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.

who first filmed the family. twenty five years ago. one by one. you have a dog. this is where. the sidewalk was here and the house over there. 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.
