This podcast focuses on an article from Transport Security International Magazine that commemorates the 30th anniversary of the hijacking of Xiamen Airlines Flight MF8301. The podcast explores the tragic events of the hijacking, which resulted in a fatal collision with two other aircraft on the ground, and examines the role that political tensions between China and Taiwan played in the incident. The podcast further discusses the broader historical context of hijacking, including the 1960s hijacking epidemic between the US and Cuba, and how international agreements and changes in political relations ultimately helped to reduce the occurrence of such events.
