3. Wow... I haven't listened to that song in many years

It's kind of creepy, too, the line in the song, "Terror on the airlines." I never even noticed it before.

Makes my head spin.

4. TWA Flight 847 was hijacked by the Amal Movement (Hezbollah)

TWA Flight 847 was an international Trans World Airlines flight which was hijacked by the Amal Movement, widely believed to be a nom de guerre for the Islamist Lebanese Shia group before Hezbollah <1>, on Friday morning, June 14, 1985, after originating in Cairo, Egypt and was flying from Athens, Greece to Rome, Italy, from where it was scheduled to travel on to London. The aircraft with its passengers and crew endured a three-day intercontinental ordeal during which one passenger, a U.S. Navy diver, was murdered. Dozens of passengers were then held hostage over the next two weeks, until released by their captors.

Hijacking events

Piloted by 58-year-old Captain John Testrake, the Boeing 727, tail number N64339 <2>, departed at 10:10 am, carrying 153 passengers and crew, including flight engineer Benjamin C. Zimmermann,<3> co-pilot Philip G. Maresca, and flight attendant Uli Derickson.

It was commandeered shortly after takeoff by two German-speaking Lebanese men who had smuggled pistols and grenades through the Athens airport security. A third intended hijacker, Ali Atwa, had been bumped from the flight and was later arrested in Greece.
