Hijacking - South Korean True Story
On December 11, 1971, a South Korean civilian aircraft, Korean Air YS-11, was hijacked by North Korean agents while flying from Gangneung to Seoul. The aircraft was carrying a total of 51 passengers and crew members, and it was forced to land in Wonsan, North Korea.
After the hijacking, North Korea repatriated 39 of the passengers on December 14th, but the remaining 11 passengers and 4 crew members, including the captain, were not repatriated. This incident had a major impact on North-South relations, drawing international attention and raising concerns about the safety of those who were kidnapped.
Meaning of Hijacking
Hijacking is a term usually used to describe the kidnapping of an aircraft. The word refers to the act of forcibly taking control of a mode of transportation, such as an aircraft, vehicle, or ship, for a specific purpose. Hijacking typically occurs when armed criminals or terrorists use force or threats to control a mode of transportation and use it to achieve their demands.
In the case of aircraft hijacking, criminals often hijack planes to change destinations, demand hostages, or make political demands. Such acts are strictly prohibited under international law and the laws of each country, and are considered serious crimes.
Aircraft hijacking has occurred numerous times throughout history, often with fatal and destructive consequences. For example, the terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001, involved hijacked planes attacking the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, resulting in thousands of casualties. These events have heightened awareness of aviation security around the world, leading to a significant strengthening of security measures at airports and on aircraft.
However, hijacking is not limited to aircraft. Ships, large buses, trains, and other modes of transportation can also be hijacked. In the case of ship hijacking, pirates often hijack ships to take the crew and cargo hostage and demand ransom. Such acts threaten the safety of maritime transport, and organizations such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO) are taking various measures to prevent them.
In conclusion, hijacking is a serious criminal act, and the international community and governments of each country are constantly striving to prevent it. Strengthening security systems and legal responses are essential to prevent such crimes and ensure the safety of citizens.
