Skyjacked

At 19, Diana is one of eight young women invited to spend a week on Mallorca as a prize for winning a beauty pageant. Behind her lies a carefree week of fun, parties, and a night of heavy celebration. Shortly after, she will face the most terrifying ordeal of her life.

It is October 13, 1977, during the so-called German Autumn (Deutscher Herbst), a period of heightened terrorist activity in West Germany. Four Palestinian terrorists hijack the Lufthansa aircraft »Landshut« on its return flight from Mallorca to Frankfurt, demanding the release of imprisoned members of the Baader-Meinhof Group. What begins as a routine flight quickly spirals into a nightmare. Over the next five days, more than 80 hostages endure terror, uncertainty, and the constant threat of death. Diana is one of them.

In this deeply emotional account, Diana Müll shares the hijacking and her dramatic rescue in harrowing detail.
