On November 23, 1996, Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961 was hijacked during its journey from Addis Ababa to Nairobi. The hijackers, demanding to be flown to Australia, ignored the captain’s warnings that the plane didn’t have enough fuel for such a trip. Captain Leul Abate tried to reason with them, but to no avail. Eventually, the aircraft ran out of fuel and crash-landed in the Indian Ocean near the Comoros Islands. The impact tore the plane apart, tragically claiming 125 of the 175 lives onboard.
