Air Crash Investigation: African Hijack

In 1996 three axe-wielding men hijack an Ethiopian plane ordering the pilot to head for Australia. Armed with an axe and a fire extinguisher, they savagely beat the co-pilot, and then demand that the pilot chart a course for Australia.

Dang... more passengers could have survived if they haven't INFLATED THE VEST BEFORE CRASH. It says pretty clearly on the evacuation guide: "Inflate vest before exiting the plane."

Imagine if he had listened, they would've had to have been in the middle of the ocean. At least they landed off the coast

@videohost199 The plane was hijacked by terrorists trying to fly the plane somewhere else but the plane only had enough fuel to get to it's destination. So when it ran out of fuel it started falling out of the sky and crashed.

[videohost199]

Somebody know what happened? I hear in English bad. Please, somebody, tell me story about this bad accident.

@MultiPlatformGamerz yeah its really not possible to safely land into sea, and also some passengers inflated their vests before crash which caused them to be trapped inside.

[MultiPlatformGamerz]

but he did'nt do it safely only 50 survived , and that pilot had been on 2 other flights that had been hijacked
