Sturtles 6th Gear February 1, 2015 Share February 1, 2015 Yap just go watch at Toggle.... I just did..... Bravo to our SOF..... Job well done... Not to belittle our own guys, but the arsenal carried by the terrorists were less harmful compared to some used these days... Eg. The HK tour bus incident, which is a total fiasco But I liked the forward thinking and worst case scenario planning by the top leaders in charge those days... Unlike the complacent bunch we have now.. The perm secs now look like monkeys with no clue what they are doing 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macrosszero Turbocharged February 1, 2015 Share February 1, 2015 Regardless of what the bad guys were carrying, our SOF guys went into that aircraft and killed all of them without loss to any of the passengers or crew. Recent take-downs in hostage situations suggest it is very, very difficult not to have any friendly casualties when bullets start flying. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vega Turbocharged February 2, 2015 Author Share February 2, 2015 Back then no one would think our soldiers are able to carry this ops out on our own. Our SOF was not known to the public yet. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone watch it? was it good? Watched last night :) I should said, it gave alot of insights to what happened inside the plane... such as 2 crews being pushed out ... Though I hope they can have more interviews from more passengers :) And hey, there are no female crew ! All 4 crews are guys ! Cannot be, right?! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am quite sure there are some differences between the documentary vs the actual situation. With the wild spread of Internet hope some who was on that plane that day or someone who knows the passengers can come in to share what actually happened. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 I have always thought they were dealing with amateur hijackers. Here's why I say they were amateurs. 1. They hijack a plane that goes between Sin-KL and they demanded the captain of the plane to fly to Sydney after taking off. A plane prep for such a short flight to re-route and fly to Sydney. Their knowledge seems very limited. 2. Why Sydney, an ang moh country and not somewhere in the middle east or Pakistan? They demanded Pakistanis and their former president to be released from Pakistani prison. They won't even know if the prisoners were to be released since most ppl are still using pagers back in those days. Maybe they wanted to see Kuala bears. 3. Pushing ppl off the plane....w/o shooting them first. An indication they were not heavily armed. 4. They claimed they were political party members from one of those in Pakistan. They are more political activists dan terrorists. I think it's a desperate attempt to stop the execution of their party chief and former president Bhutto back in those days. The Bhutto family led party doesn't quite looked like a terrorist group. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"There was a time when people think our SOF won't make it, but they did... (but they did)... There was a time, when trouble seems too much for them to take, but they did... (but they did)... They kept the hostages strong and free... Moving out together in synchro harmony..." 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philipkee Twincharged February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 I believe the reason why some people thought we could not respond decisively with force was because in the previous terrorist incident, we gave in. One of the people who became "willing hostage or guarantors" to allow the terrorist to escape was our ex president. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laju_incident 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
