The deadliest act of air piracy to date occurred on September 11, 2001, when suicide bombers simultaneously hijacked four planes in the United States, carrying two of them to the World Trade Center complex in New York and one to the Pentagon near Washington, DC. The fourth plane crashed outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, after passengers — informed of their fate via their cell phones — tried to overtake their attackers. In total, more than 3,000 people were killed in the September 11 attacks, and a new factor was introduced: the use of fuel-laden planes as flying bombs to kill large numbers of people and cause enormous material damage. However, the actions of the passengers of the fourth plane indicated that such a tactic would be difficult to repeat, as the prospect of certain death would hardly give the hostages an incentive to submit to the hijackers` demands. The United States passed the Anti-Hijacking Act of 1974 (49 U.S.C.A. § 1301 et seq.). Implementation of these international conventions. This law is designed to prevent countries from taking a permissive stance towards illegal activities, such as seizing aircraft, by providing penalties for hijackers and for countries that protect hijackers or fail to take appropriate precautions. The law gives the president the power to terminate air service between a offending nation and the United States if the president determines that the offending nation has not acted in accordance with its obligations under anti-diversion conventions. Since the signing of these international conventions in the 1970s, the number of hijackings has fallen sharply, particularly in the United States. to take control of an event or situation without the organizers or persons officially involved wishing to participate, including illegally, by force or in any other undesirable way. In 1978, at a Group of Seven summit in Bonn, the United States, Italy, Canada, Japan, Britain, France and West Germany pledged to impose sanctions on countries. The kidnappers gave refuge.
In the same year, the European Community (EC) agreed to boycott airlines from any country that hosted hijackers or refused to release hijacked aircraft. The threat of denying landing rights at EC airport airports has proven effective, and several Middle Eastern countries that had previously sheltered hijackers and hijacked aircraft have no longer done so. Hijacking a vehicle is taking it illegally. Such a crime is called kidnapping or kidnapping. Hijack can be used more generally to mean “to take control”. If your friend has a bad habit of interrupting others to talk about themselves, you can say that they tend to divert the conversation. to illegally take control of a computer, phone, webcam, website or URL, etc. This term refers to the theft of anything during transportation, including planes, cars, trucks, and goods in them.
Kidnappings have not been limited to the United States and Cuba. In 1970, hijackers seized more than 90 planes around the world. The increase in international terrorism, particularly in the Middle East, has led to widespread kidnappings. In these situations, the kidnappers sought the satisfaction of political demands and a platform to express their opinions. In 1970, members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine hijacked three planes and flew two on a deserted runway near Amman, Jordan, while blowing up the third in Cairo, Egypt, after freeing the passengers and crew. A few days later, another plane was hijacked. The kidnappers demanded the release of Palestinian prisoners in European and Israeli jails. When their demands were not met, they removed the passengers from the planes and destroyed the planes one by one. Hijacking is also known as hijacking. The first reported case of such abduction occurred in Peru in 1931. The first hijacking in Asia took place in 1948 during a flight from Macau to Hong Kong; All 25 people on board were killed when the plane crashed into the Pacific Ocean.
Over the next decade, about 15 aircraft were hijacked, and in 1958-67, the number of such incidents increased dramatically to about 50. Although hijacking since the late 20th century most often involves the seizure of an aircraft and its forced hijacking to destinations chosen by air hijackers, when the term was coined in the United States in the 1920s, hijacking generally referred to the theft of illegally produced liquor trucks or similar seizures of rumrunners at sea. In the mid-1950s, the use of the term was expanded to include the hijacking of trucks carrying legitimate goods, as well as the hijacking of legal vessels. Hijacking is the modern term for “hacking.” It derives from the phrase “High, Jack!”, which is an order to raise your hands before being robbed. The word gained popularity during Prohibition (1920-33), when smugglers took over liquor trucks, and resurfaced when political activists began seizing commercial aircraft in the 1960s.
