The Longest Hijacking in History

Note: guys I know the 707 isn't an airbus cut me some slack

A 120~ hour hijacking, a kidnapping and 6 months of terror; the German Autumn was one of the most extensive post-war periods of terrorism on the European continent. This video covers the events of this period, from April to October of 1977, and how Germany grappled with terror and chaos.

This video was quite difficult to research; there's a tonne of conflicting information and I wasn't able to confirm much of it through official reports until late in the script writing process, as some of the documentation I had ordered arrive late. Even then, the "Security Report" produced by the West German government was actually quite limited, so I had to infer some of the points in the video. If you'd like to see the notes/corrections I have made on the Script, please check the Dropbox link below.

Best viewed with headphones.
