"Flight 832, you have deviated from the course, please answer received, Flight 832, you have deviated from the course, please answer received." Swedish air traffic controllers, spotting the plane that was off course, immediately called.

"Turn off the radio and turn it on again when you get to Lebanon." On the Boeing 707, a short Arab youth said.

Hearing no response on the radio, the Swedish air traffic controllers looked at the light spots on the radar that were drifting away from the plane and knew something was wrong.

He immediately reported to the United States that it was a TWA plane.

The United States immediately realized that this was a serious hijacking!

As you can see from the radar screen, the direction of this airliner is none other than Lebanon in the direction of the Middle East!

Greek police were quick to arrest more than a dozen suspected Arabs near the Athens airport, but there was no evidence to convince them that any of them were complicit in the hijackers.

At the same time, two F-15 fighters took off urgently from the nearby US Air Force base, preparing to intercept and wait for an opportunity to make a forced landing on the other side.

After turning off the radio, the short Arab youth saw that the tall Arab youth behind him had subdued the other people on the plane, and then he was relieved, with those two role models here, I am afraid that no one will do anything stupid again.

"Passengers, don't be afraid." The short young man said on the radio: "We are peace-loving Arabs, but the unfair treatment of Arab countries by the Western world, they support Israel, slaughter our Arab brothers, and they even imposed rude sanctions on Iran in the Iran-Iraq war, provoking war between us, and we are doing this now just to challenge the Western world led by the United States!" And to prove that we can strike American targets from anywhere and by any means, that the United States must abandon its support for Israel, that the Israeli military must retreat to the line of UN resolutions, and that the United States must lift sanctions against Iran. ”

The people on the plane were silent, and a few children were so frightened that they wanted to cry, but his relatives immediately stopped him, angering the two demons, and their lives were in danger at any time!

Suddenly, there was a shaking on the plane.

What's going on? The short young man turned his head and saw that in front of the plane, a fighter plane had just flown over the sky, and the shaking of the plane just now was the disturbance of the air flow flying by the other party.

As an emergency, two F-15 fighters from the Turkish air base took off and, under the guidance of AWACS, accurately came to each other's side.

However, no matter what language the pilot used, no matter what radio channel he used, the other side did not respond.

It seems that the other side turned off the radio equipment!

The pilots knew that over time, if they could not make contact with the plane, forcing them to return to the Greek airfield, the consequences would be troublesome.

So, the pilot of one of the F-15 fighters made a bold move: he stuck to the top of the Boeing 707 and flew over.

After flying, the F-15 accompanying the flight next to him obviously saw that the huge guy moved, if you turn on the afterburner and fly at supersonic speed, it will be even more exciting!

It's just that now is not the time to look for excitement, they need to subdue this Boeing 707, which is a very difficult task, because there are innocent hostages on it.

"Turn on the radio and tune into the public channel." Said the short hijacker.

At this time, he also saw another US Air Force fighter plane from the side porthole, flying with him on the right side of the passenger plane.

After opening it, I heard a voice from inside: "Flight 832, we are the United States Air Force, you have deviated from the course, please return to the original course." ”

"Yankee, die!" The short hijacker took the headset on the captain's head and said, "Please leave immediately, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!" ”

"Flight 832, who was speaking just now, please answer."

"It's your grandfather!" The short young Arab said into the microphone.

Suddenly, the fuselage shook again, and this time, the other party flew from under the airliner.

As if performing acrobatics in the air, two F-15 fighters swept past the airliner, hoping to put heavy pressure on the hijackers.

"Please come back with us." The two F-15s had already flown to either side of the airliner, sandwiching the airliner as if the police were escorting thieves to prevent each other from running away.

"If you don't leave, I'll kill a hostage every two minutes!" The short Arab youth shouted, "Let's start with your two Marines!" ”

After receiving the passport just now, everyone's identity was confirmed. The two people who resisted just now, that is, the US Marines, have already been subdued by them, and now they have only one breath left, so they should simply give them a good time.

The fighter pilot did not dare to hesitate any longer and immediately reported to the base.

The commander of the base began to hesitate, if the order was given to continue the tracking, then, if the real hostages were killed, they would all have to take responsibility, and if the order was given to let the two planes return, then, if the deterrence failed, the responsibility would have to be borne by him alone.

What to do?

The clock ticks by.

The short Arab youth was very calm, he looked at his watch, looked at the time, and there were five seconds left.

At this time, the half-dead man had already been dragged over, this guy named Bill actually dared to do it, the short Arab youth had long wanted to kill him, and now, the M1911 pistol in his hand was waiting calmly.

Four, three, two, one, the index finger of the short Arab youth, ready to pull the trigger.

"They flew away." At this time, the captain shouted.

"You're in luck!" The short Arab youth sighed and let go of Bill.

At the last minute, the base commander ordered the two F-15 fighters to return home, because they had already flown over the Mediterranean Sea and were about to enter Lebanese airspace, and his reason was very reliable.

"We have entered Lebanese airspace." The captain said.

At this time, fifty minutes have passed since the plane was hijacked.

"Call Beirut immediately and request to land at Beirut International Airport." Said the short Arab youth.

The captain took the radio and transferred to the airport's channel.

"Beirut Airport, I'm Flight 832 of Global Airlines, I request to land, I request to land!"

At this time, Lebanon, Beirut was still controlled by Arafat's PLO, and when he got the news, he immediately informed the airport: The flight must not be allowed to land!

Although Arafat is a staunch Palestinian fighter who has always fought against Israel and against the United States, the backer behind Israel, he knows that frontal war is one thing, and this hijacking is another.

Whatever the reason, such actions against civilians are unforgivable, and this is another bottom line for Arafat, whose Fatah leadership, no matter how the situation deteriorates, has not had any violence against civilians.

Hamas, a Palestinian militant organization that had not yet been established at this time, carried out a number of suicide bombings in later generations, and Arafat was opposed to these.

Therefore, no matter what the reason, no matter who the other side is, Arafat does not support such hijacking of aircraft against civilians.

Unfortunately, however, it was destined to become the epicenter of the storm, and Beirut, a necessary stopover for Trans World Airlines Flight 832 on its way to Tehran.

"Huanhang 832, Huanhang 832, I'm Beirut Airport," the dispatcher in charge of the airport control tower said into the radio: "We have heard your call, however, the airport is undergoing repairs, the runway is closed, it is impossible to land, it cannot land." ”

Hearing the call on the radio, the captain looked helplessly at the hijacker behind him and said, "The fuel of the plane can only fly to Jerusalem." ”

Actually, Damascus in Syria is closer, however, the captain is fighting for opportunities.

Because the current Jerusalem, in the hands of the Israelis, has been unilaterally claimed by Israel as their capital, with Israel's relationship with the United States, with the strength of the Israeli special forces, it is completely possible to shoot the hijackers and rescue the hostages.

Flying to Jerusalem? The short Arab young man in the back, naturally, was not so stupid, he didn't think about anything, just put a gun to the captain's head and said: "Give me a forced landing to Beirut airport!" ”

In his heart, he naturally had an idea, and when he got to Beirut, then, with Syria's relations with the PLO, and then with Iran's relations with Syria, their mission could be accomplished.

Although the other party does not allow himself to land now, after landing by himself, everything will be easy, and here, it can be said that he is pro-Iranian.

The captain was shocked: "We can't make a forced landing, the airport is closed, if there are other vehicles on the runway, even if there is a screw, it will be fatal for us, and it is likely that the plane will be destroyed and killed." ”

"You should feel lucky to have so many people with you to die." The short Arab youth said, "Crash land immediately, or I'll start killing hostages from you!" ”

The captain is a spirit, so let's listen to others honestly!

He had flown a few times to Beirut airport, and the main runway was long enough, but the backup runway was a little shorter.

The Boeing 707 lowered altitude, and below, Beirut was already in front of you.

Without an airfield guide, relying entirely on their own experience, all this can only be done by experienced pilots.

The captain stretched out his finger and made a cross on his leg, God forbid!

Three turns, aiming at the runway, lowering the altitude, pulling up the nose of the plane, comparing the horizon on both sides, the captain himself made the plane and drove it carefully.

"Squeak!" The huge two-wheeled main landing gear touched the ground, and after a few seconds of the nose was raised, the nose also touched the ground.

The plane finally landed, however, this was just the beginning.
