Hello Patrons.

I am thrilled to bring you the Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961 video, Episode 159!!!

I decided to implement a few new things in this video. Firstly a new type of intro where I actually give a piece to camera... (sort of). We've also got some different maps and things. let me know what you think, I'd love your feedback. I have one thing I need to tweak with this video so I'll do that tomorrow. So I will be swapping out the video with the final version real quick as soon as possible :)

I do what to make a note here of something. You guys really helped this video get to where it is. I forward the entire Patreon fund for this month to the license necessary to secure the Marinda Gouws recording. I wasn't just going to rip stuff from YouTube, this is actually relatively high quality for a recording from 1996 and has a higher frame rate too. This video just wouldn't have been the same without your contributions.

I would like to keep you all in the loop as to what is happening with the next video. Episode 160, that will release some time in December will be on the 1960 New York Mid Air Collision. It is a video I have put off from making all year as I guess it would make for a good "Christmas Video". So, I will be travelling out to New York to visit two different crash sites, gathering footage, making a few stops along the way to key locations, primarily in Brooklyn and Staten Island. I will be Flying out on December 1st, literally just going to be there for a couple of days to get what I need done and flying home. It is again, thanks to your contributions that I am now able to take my videos to this higher level.

The Consequences Of Those Who Didn't Care (Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961) - DISASTER BREAKDOWN

This video went out to my Patrons on Patreon Two Days before going out publicly. Consider joining here from £1 per month: https://www.patreon.com/DisasterBreakdown Twitter: https://twitter.com/Chloe_HowieCB References and Additional Notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LqxiWCh7ZfsY4lzDoiixmB6ZFLVPnnVsNaZHMpNfDRI/ 00:00 Intro 01:50 Context 04:31 Ethiopian Airlines 08:17 Hijacking 26:26 Crash Landing on Water 31:09 Aftermath What you are about to see is one of the most stunning videos ever recorded. It was taken on November 23rd, 1996, on Galawa Beach, a secluded stretch of sand on the Northern Coast of Ngazidja, the largest island of the Comoros Archipelago. The video itself was taken by an unsuspecting tourist as they lounged on the beach. Suddenly a passenger plane emerged into view from her left. With the camera rolling, she captured this moment... This was the outcome of a hijacking gone wrong. This video has been shared around a lot in its time, both on television and in the age of the internet, and I do not think we really appreciate just how shocking this recording actually is. It’s not every day that you happen to video a plane crashing onto the water let alone a wide-body passenger plane. This just does not happen. But we are not here to talk about this video in and of itself, we are here to unpack the subject, the plane itself. How did it end up this way? Who Hijacked the plane and why? What actually is the story of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961.

Also, since this is Patreon not the internet at large lol - My mom was a flight attendant for 54 years for a number of airlines that eventually merged into Delta. In the early 70s while working for Western Airlines, I believe, she was part of a changeover crew in a US based hijacking that ended up diverting to Cuba. But they convinced the hijacker to refuel the plane and let them switch out crew. My mom, fearful for her crew, volunteered to take their place on the next leg. The hijacker was a mentally unstable political dissenter who wanted to go to Vietnam, but they compromised by taking the plane to Cuba. Upon landing, he was arrested. I've been trying to figure out which hijacking this was in the news, because my mom's memory is not 100%, and I don't want to bother her by asking her about this again (as it was understandably traumatic) but there are SO MANY possibilities just per Wikipedia!! ....sorry, there was not really a point to this story, other than to say, the "fuel diversion" bit of this video made me think of my mom. Again, thank you for this one - it was really outstanding!
