Pan Am Flight 73: The 1986 Karachi Hijacking P2
On September 5, 1986, Pan Am Flight 73 was hijacked on the ground in Karachi, Pakistan, by four armed terrorists from the Abu Nidal Organization. What followed was a 16-hour ordeal of terror that would end with 20 passengers dead and more than 100 injured.
Michael Thexton was on that flight, heading home after the devastating loss of his brother Peter, who had died weeks earlier on a Broad Peak climbing expedition in the Karakoram. Held at gunpoint, pulled to the front of the plane, and facing what he believed were his final moments, Michael made one desperate plea to his captor—a plea that would unexpectedly save his life.
This is Michael's first-hand account of survival, grief, and the extraordinary choice he made when facing death. Hear the untold story of Pan Am Flight 73 from someone who lived through one of aviation's most violent hijackings.
