A copilot's dark decision saved Paris
This episode covers the 1994 hijacking of Air France Flight 8969, a meticulously planned mission that aimed to detonate an aircraft over the Eiffel Tower. It explores the circumstances that led to this audacious act and the extraordinary decisions made under immense pressure.
Event: Air France Flight 8969 Hijacking
Date: December 24, 1994
Location: Algiers International Airport, Marseille
Aircraft: Airbus A300
Hijackers: Armed Islamic Group (GIA)
- 173 people boarded a Christmas Eve flight from Algiers to Paris, unaware of the true intentions of four men in counterfeit uniforms.
- The Algerian government's cancellation of election results and banning of the Islamic Salvation Front led to a civil war, with the GIA emerging as a ruthless faction.
- French intelligence had flagged the Algiers-Paris route as high-risk for months, with concerns about shoulder-fired missiles.
- The hijackers loaded two bundles of dynamite, totaling 220 pounds, onto the aircraft, one in the cockpit and one beneath passenger seating.
- France's elite GIGN commandos began mobilizing, rehearsing their intervention on an identical Airbus A300 in Palma de Mallorca.
