Video footage of the crash

事故の模様はビデオに取られていました、Y-Tubeに出ていますし、TVでも何度か取り上げられ、日本テレビも放送しました。

The crash was videotaped by people on the beach, so that made it a marketable event. It made me famous for a time. The first program was NBC's “Dateline” just after the crash (12-1-96) as I mentioned. That did not have the crash footage. The second program, on Fox in Feb. 1997 did. Also, it was on ABC in November, 1997, the Japan’s TBS station in December 1998, and also it was on German TV in 1998. In each of those TV interviews I learned a little more about the crash. I learned there were 11 Israeli commandos on the plane and 10 had died. I learned there was a sea diving program going on just about where the plane crashed. I learned who was in every seat and their fate. Very recently, 2015 the crash was reenacted on Japanese TV (NTV) and I was approached my many people who saw it.

Lizzy and Katie were in all the London newspapers and tabloids. They must have enjoyed the stardom working for MTV. Later on they wrote a book on the experience and published it.

At that time, it was one of the most deadly plane hijackings in history. I was one of the lucky ones with only minor injuries.
