The INSANE Raid & Hijacking Of Flight 8969 REACTION | OFFICE BLOKES REACT!! 

Yep, the GIGN are one of the world’s finest special forces 🇫🇷 🪂

That number of wounded shows what a nasty fight these guys charged into. Planes are nightmare places to try and take. Hell of a job. GIGN are top tier, no question.

The movie "The Assault" depicts the whole event really good also using real footage. Btw one operator got hit 8 times and still survived.

I'm German, our GSG 9 freed the passengers of the "Landshut" in Mogadishu in 1977. Luckily there were only injuries among the passengers and crew. Three terrorists were dead and one was seriously injured. Officials from GEG 9 later reported how critical such an operation is in the event of an aircraft storm. The GIGN comrades have achieved incredible things. The pilot and co-pilot (jumped out of an open cockpit window during the operation) and Flight engineer who were in the cockpit with the terrorists and who, if possible, were not allowed to come to any harm or even lose their lives. A minimal operational space and almost no protection for the GIGN, There were injured among them and they still withstood the fire and completed the operation. Fortunately, no deaths among the colleagues, but several people were injured, some seriously. Terrorists all dead. Mission successfully completed. Even though it was a long time ago, you have achieved an incredible feat. My/our deepest respect comes from Berlin-Germany.

Still blows my mind to this day that they ever let that plane off the ground. It went from a risk of life to those on board to god knows what if they decided to crash somewhere. It worked out for the best, but that was one heck of a gamble.

Operation Entebbe, also known as the Entebbe Raid or Operation Thunderbolt, was a counter-terrorist hostage-rescue mission carried out by commandos of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) at Entebbe Airport in Uganda on 4 July 1976.

When they do demonstrations like that, that "Explosive" is just the detonation charge. Not the actual explosive. I used to put together mock grenades, which is just a grenade body and the detonator and mock explosives in the Army for training. We'd do actual mockups toss in a "Noise maker"/detonator instead of the actual charge. If that "bomb" went off, it would have just sounded like a very very low caliber pistol.

You should definitely watch Japan Airlines Fight 351

Happened on my 40th birthday!!😱

Hey, love your videos OBs, you guys should do a movie reaction channel as well, I love to see your reaction to movies like Team America: World Police (made by the people who made Southpark) or saving Private Ryan.

You guys would also love the movie or documentary of the TRUE Israeli hostage situation involving airline passengers called "Victory at Entebbe." The Israeli special forces' plan and execution will have you cheering.

The narrator of this video has a really awkward cadence to his speaking style.

They gotta be the worst terrorists ever. They hijacked a plane with no fuel.😂😂

He makes pretty good videos, but i'm hoping one of these days Popomedic figures out how to properly mix his audio, the music is always too loud.

dave says he would lash out just to get shot

Those French special forces were obviously slick at their jobs and did a fantastic job, but I have to say, but the Brits and the American special forces LOOK tougher in their kit. ;-)

Algeria was colonized by French...
