@sjlazars Strange, that from tweet 1, it jumps to tweet 8 and 9.
Looks like your evidence thread has been censored by Twitter.

@Support @XCorpIndia let’s see where the hijackers came from & who was supporting them ?

There are many more inaccuracies / fallacies and I could go on and on. However, the point is cinematic license should not be used to DISTORT HISTORY.

There has to be some norms, which make it clear to the public that this is a Cinematic depiction of fictitious events and not the factual version. It has spread hate, and made India a mockery of the world.

It has also greatly disturbed the families, and some hostages & Crew, that should never be allowed.

(z) The Hijackers used Indian code names, but it was clear that they were trained ISI agents.
The Hijackers names were given up by the 4 ISI terrorists picked up in Mumbai –
1. Bhola. – mistry zahoor ibrahim
2. Burger – sunny ahmed qazi
3. Doctor – shahid akhtar shahid
4. Shankar – shakir
5. Chief – ibrahim athar - Also wore a RED CAP - (which the movie never shows)

6. What the series DOES NOT TALK about is

(a) That there was Intelligence that Pakistan was upto No good & had planned something

(b) That all crew and passengers went through an Intelligence Bureau debrief on New Years day 2000- a lot of what is stated in the Movie has been debunked during those briefings.

(c) That all the crew met with the PM at his residence the next day, post the IB interrogation/ debrief and expressed thanks that the Government had intervened to release them

(d) That ALL the passengers were BLINDFOLDED through out the flight, and were made to place their heads down through out the siege. None of that is shown

(e) That the Hijackers were rude & nasty, and threatened death time & again to the passengers, but also played good cop & bad cop. This too has not been shown.

(f) That the Hijackers were drawn to some of the ladies and attempted to befriend them. One even spoke of his fascination for Bengali ladies.

(g) That at 7:20 pm on 24/12/99 Amritsar ATC got a strange call from someone claiming to be J.Lal from MHA Delhi, ordering that the "stalled" refuelling be completed asap. Mulekar (Airport Manager) ordered fuelling immediately & told Birdi, yet when Birdi called the CMG in Delhi, they had no J.Lal in the Home ministry.
That number was later traced to some missing ladies cellphone, who did not live at the registered address. It showed the sophisticated planning and set up of the terrorists. India would face that same terror again 9 years later on 26-11 in Mumbai.

(h) That a 140 tonne Airbus 300 on final approach on a Lahore highway, barely 300 feet above, cannot do a 180 degrees turn in mid air, in minutes & then land on a parallel runway (as depicted in the movie). The Aircraft is likely to break up.

(i) That at the Al-Minhad airbase, the controller talking to the Hijackers & Crew, was a suave Arab named Abdullah, who had come in on the suggestion of the US Consul & Sheikh Maktoum.

(j) That it was Abdullah, who negotiated the release of women & children, in return for fuel & food, on the insistence of Jaswant Singh via Strobe Talbott & Crown Prince Sheikh Al Maktoum. No - Abdullah was NOT A PAKISTANI as shown in the movie.

(h) That at Dubai, the hijackers had got prepared to ditch the Aircraft in the sea & had taken lifevests with them.

(i) That for the moment that "Red-Cap" / Chief left them alone for a few min, Flt Enggr Jaggia hatched a plan to emit a false engine fire warning on take off roll & Sharan would pull the thrust reversers & abort take off at 120 knots. That Abdullah at Dubai airport was also briefed on this plan & was to keep medical n emergency trucks ready.

(j) That FE Anil Jaggia was allowed to deplane and take a walk around the aircraft with Chief- Red-Cap to inspect the aircraft.

(k) That it was at that moment that Flight Engineer Anil Jaggia set the refuelling panel in such a manner, that only a trained Flight engineer or an AME could refuel the aircraft after this. Fuel calibrations would automatically not be accepted.

(l) That the hijackers beat & abused the hostages whilst on board. This was told to Minister Sharad Yadav who flew to Dubai to greet the released hostages (women, Children & Injured).

(m) That at Kandahar, the refuelling was not happening, because Flight Engineer had obstructed the system. The Taliban engineer was struggling to refuel, & fuel was overflowing out - due to closed valves. Capt Devi Sharan had not touched them, nor did he have a clue as to what Nangia had done, nor did the hijackers. (both Sharan & Rajendra were seated in the economy class when this was happening).

(n) The Original Aircraft VT-EDW (MSN-36) is Not in Jordan as a training aircraft, but was scrapped in Mumbai in 2003.

(o) The Air Hostess Indrani was never slapped, it was the Purser Sateesh who got hit by the hijackers.

(p) The body of Rupin Katyal was shirtless, and was actually lifted by Anil Sharma & Sateesh and taken off the aircraft at Dubai.

LONG THREAD ALERT 🧵 #IC814↓

I watched @NetflixIndia #IC814TheKandaharHijack last week & had so many messages from friends for my views as an Aviation Consultant & veteran - including @IAsTerrorTrail (who was part of the crew) thus I have penned my thoughts here, after reading multiple real accounts, watching the movie & speaking to some of those involved.

As a victim of aviation terrorism myself, I treat these threats & claims very seriously. I understand the pain that many of the families may have gone through watching a rehashed account of their tragedy.

A thread 🧵 ↓

IMHO This series is a work of TOTAL FICTION- and DOES NOT MIRROR what happened. ( I request you to rewatch the series once you have read this long thread)

Please also NOTE & Pay attention to the Producers DISCLAIMER - which Should have been LARGER & SHOWN ON SCREEN FOR LONGER. (see pic)

My major grouse is that when a fictional movie that has real life footage featuring the then Prime Minister, Foreign Minister, or NSA - then a sufficent disclaimer must be put in, on the live footage scenes itself. It MUST BE LABELLED FICTION.

The negotiators of IC815 include today India's NSA Mr.Ajit Doval & other officers who still serve India with pride.

Lots of observations -but before I go further, As a proud INDIAN, I CONDEMN the depiction of Pakistani ISI & the Taliban as GOODY GOODIES, they WERE & ARE SCUM.

It is shocking that any Indian producer/ director, would accept this (regardless of their political affiliations). Let us never forget the 1000s of Indian lives lost in terrorist acts plotted by ISI, JeM, LeT, HuM, Taliban, Khalistanis & other terrorists. Pulwama,26-11, Kanishka, Balakot, Malegaon, Parliament etc ... I could go on & on. @anubhavsinha

Mistakes may have been made, by some in govt at ATQ- but there was a major Pak ISI -Nepali- Taliban conspiracy at KTM. I STRONGLY CONDEMN the impression deliberately created, that our then PM or GOI bungled it. Lest we forget, this was the same PM who achieved Pokharan-2 in that year, & also ordered the retaking of Akshardham & won the war in Kargil. IMHO He was our best PM

It is very clear that attempts have been made to show Shri A.B.Vajpayee ji, NDA & BJP in a poor light !

This is HIGHLY DEPLORABLE, I CONDEMN it completely.

I also remember the 1990s case of Rubeena Saeed & Mufti Mohammed Sayeed all too well, where terrorists were released for the Ministers daughter.

FEMINIST PILOT INFLUENCER TOOK 60 LACS FROM A MAN, NEVER RETURNED & NOW SPEWS HATRED AGAINST ALL MEN

Just got to know that a feminist pilot influencer here on X spewing hate against men day n night took 60 Lacs from a man to do her pilot training abroad, dangling him with a promise of marriage for years and when she got a job with leading airlines, said Tata Tata Bye Bye to that man

That man registered an FIR against her

She moved High Court to quash that FIR but it got rejected 😁😬😁

SIXTY LACS !!!

Mamata Banerjee leads a rally against the rape and murder of a woman doctor, demanding justice for the victim and punishment for the accused.

The ironic part is that she herself is the Chief Minister, Health Minister, and Home Minister of West Bengal. 👏
