Hijacked: Flight 73

Trailer—Hijacked: Flight 73

Hijacked Flight 73 is a dramatization of an awful hijacking of Pan AM flight 73 in Karachi Pakistan. The plane was taken by 4 terrorists while still on the ground, and loaded with 300 passengers and crew. As per Pan AM policy, as soon as the terrorists took control of the passenger cabin, the flight crew escaped from a hatch in the pilots cabin. The terrorists then spent hours in negotiations trying to get the pilots back, so they could be flown to Cyprus. Sometime near the beginning of the negotiations, they killed a passenger to make a point. This film then basically showed 90 minutes of nothing else happening until the end. I won't put any spoilers here, but I felt this could have been told in a more compelling way. It was a waste of time to watch, and all you can do at the end is feel badly for everyone hurt or killed.

I don't understand why they would make a documentary that is factually incorrect? The passports were collected by Neerja Bhanot who was killed in the ordeal and also received several awards for her bravery and sacrifice. The documentary however tries to change the narrative and appear to interview a living flight attendant as though she was the one the high jackers asked to bring all the passports. The whole documentary appears to be far from the facts and unreliable. I don't think I will watch the entire documentary after this and just wanted to quickly write a review to let you all know that this is not going to be the documentary you expected. Google Pan Am flight 73 and you will read the actual facts of the incident and there was also an Indian movie made about the flight attendant "Neerja". It's ridiculous that they had someone else take credit for the bravery shown by Neerja and they did not even bigger to mention her name.
