When you board a plane, you may remember the hijackings that happen in movies and TV series, and your imagination takes you to thinking about what you will do, will you try to take the initiative to save everyone or will you just protect yourself? Our guest in this episode, Captain Tariq Al-Tayeb, has experienced hijacking on a plane twice! During the forty years he spent in aviation, he has experienced many incidents, the strangest of which were the two hijacking incidents. We started with the story of the hijacking of the first plane, “Flight 040”, which occurred in 1984. The flight was transformed from civilian to international, and landed on Iranian territory. How did he deal with it? What was the hijacker’s goal? What damages occurred? How did the story end? Until his meeting with Prince Sultan and King Salman, when he was the governor of the Riyadh region. We then moved on to the story of the hijacking of the second plane, “Flight 115”, which occurred sixteen years after the first incident, in 2000. After the flight was heading to London, it was diverted to Iraq. How did he deal with the hijacker? How did the political negotiations take place? And how did the government deal with him? What's the story of the championship experience? Episode 108 of the "Mraba3" podcast with Tariq Al-Tayeb. You can listen to it through podcast platforms on mobile phones.
