Ich komme auch aus dem arabischen und für mich ist es noch schlimmer und verstörender das alles auch ohne Untertitel verstehen zu können. Die GSG 9 hat super Arbeit geleistet! Schöne Osterferien!
The fact that there was no plane accident in this is amazing. I've seen interview with co pilot about this and he says he hadn't slept at all for several days so guessing in all the time plane was hijacked. Yet he managed to still fly the plane and land safely after captain had been killed in front of everyone. Seriously he deserves praising for that. There is so many accidents that have been caused by tired pilots but I bet in those none had been awake as long as co pilot in this and to make it harder for him he was on his own in control when normally there's 2 in charge of flying. Also I can't understand why captain went back to the plane. It sounds like no one knows what he did while out of the plane and it's unknown if he was forced back of chose to go back. Seriously if he chose to go back I can't understand why as according to news stories he was gone for few hours and the hijackers threatened to blow plane up a few times so for him surely it was worth not going back and hoping everyone would be ok. Another thing I will never understand why the co pilot chose to stay on plane when he had choice near end. He said in interview he didn't want to abandon the rest of crew and passengers. Well I guess it shows he is loyal but what could he of done really to help anyone? All him staying really did was lengthen the time he suffered. But reading bits he's said since then he does seem a nice person.
+km o Mr Schumann, the pilot, was a former officer of the Luftwaffe. Much like ship captains he thought it was his obligation to take care of all his passengers. That's the code of honour of the German officer corps back then, even if it meant sacrficing ones own life.
k mo - Upon arrival in Mogadishu the runaway was blocked. So the pilot landed next to the runaway. The plane got damaged during the landing. The Pilot persuaded the terrorists to allow him to go outside and check the damage to the plane. While outside he met a Somali official (someone of the Somali Army) that happened to be close to the plane. They had a quick conversation. The plane turned out to be too damaged to keep on flying. But apart from that there was no place to go that would allow them to land anyway. There were multiple countries in the middle east and northern Afrika that had said no to the request to land there. They did not want the trouble of having a hijacked airplane in their country. Anyway, Schumann was gone for over one our and that made the leader of the terrorists so furious that he shot him when he came back to the plane. As a pilot to take the chance to run and leave your passengers behind in this situation, would be considered inappropriate behavior. If the pilot had run away, the terrorists in all likelihood would have killed a few passengers to cool their anger. The pilot had seemingly done something else before, that infuriated the leader of the terrorists. I think that Captain Schumann was probably the sort of person that saw it as his duty to do whatever he could for his passengers in this situation.
The terrorists didn't expect nor imagine that they could be stopped. Also, unfortunately, when the raid tore them up, the grenades one of them had set off were ether weak or defective. On the other side, the GSG9 trained and planned so hard before that mission to save the hostages that failure wasn't in the cards. That, and a whole bunch of good old luck made the mission a success.
3:05 stupid mistake by Mahmud… would have been easy to set up a phone call from the German hostages or a contact person and speak to them via radio to the plane
Die haben vielleicht versucht das in Somalia zu drehen, mit Somalis, aber ihr kriegt ja schon länger nichts mehr auf die Reihe. Niemand dreht Filme in Bürgerkriegsgebieten.
Wegener has repeatedly denied that these came from the SAS. In an interview in 2007, he said that the SAS had offered him both planning support and newly developed stun grenades. However, after testing the grenades in Dubai, he decided not to use them on the plane. He also rejected the tactics proposed by the SAS in favor of his own considerations.
