IC 814: The Hijacking That Brought India to Its Knees | Kandahar Hijack | 2D Animation

On 24 December 1999, Indian Airlines Flight IC 814 took off from Kathmandu for New Delhi with 176 passengers and 15 crew members. Just 40 minutes into the journey, five armed terrorists hijacked the aircraft, triggering one of the biggest hostage crises in Indian history. For the next eight days, the aircraft traveled across four countries—Nepal, India, Pakistan, the UAE, and finally Taliban-controlled Kandahar. As passengers fought fear and uncertainty, India faced impossible choices. From Captain Devi Sharan's courageous decisions to Ajit Doval's tense negotiations and Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's historic dilemma, this documentary explores the complete story behind the IC 814 hijacking, the release of three notorious terrorists, and how that decision shaped India's future for decades. Watch till the end to understand one of the most defining moments in India's counter-terrorism history. #IC814 #IC814Hijacking #IndianAirlines #AjitDoval #AtalBihariVajpayee #KandaharHijack #IndianHistory #Terrorism #Documentary #HindiDocumentary #IndianAirlines814 #RAW #HistoryExplained #Doctubix #Geopolitics #TrueStory DISCLAIMER: This documentary is created for educational, informational, and historical purposes.
