This video was a massive topic that I had to distill into around 23 minutes. I was unfortunately unable to delve into the wider political implications of the hijacking due to time constraints, as well as being unable to dissect the true motives and mechanics of the hijacking itself. However, the sources above will provide an in-depth overview of that that I could scarcely give outside of a 30-40 minute video.

    The Achille Lauro hijacking has to be one of the most interesting events in Italian Cold War history, a period which isn’t well known in the anglosphere. As such, I want to bring some attention to other , fascinating events that happened during that time: -The Aldo Moro kidnapping, the height of the red brigade’s power; -The Borghese coup, an attempted fascist coup that failed for unclear reasons; -The war against the mafia; -Tangentopoli, and the rise of Silvio Berlusconi.

They basically found a way to make triple the number of femicide

    The Sigonella base actually has two parts, one for the US, one italian. The plane landed by us mistake in the italian side, where it was taken in custody by the italian troops, the us arrived asking for the terrorist, but the standoff went something like this "If you try to step on the plane, we will shoot you". There is a also missing part on the story. After the Sigonella standoff, the 737 was sent to Rome with the terrorist. The US tried to intercept it, but it was sent away by the italian air force, then, an American fighter faked an emergency and landed in front of the parked 737, to avoid escapes. The atc called him: "you either move within 5 minutes or we'll send a bulldozer to move you out".

Some say 320; others say 450; and then there are sources that just say “several hundred”. Sometimes we don’t have firm numbers and an average estimate is the best you have. This is especially true when you have conflicting sources. Precision is not the goal… accuracy is.

These are definitely not in the inventory of the US, and at the time of the Hijacking they werent even a research project in the soviet union. Other than that, great video!

And not to mention the Italians have every right to be upset with the Americans because it happened on an Italian ship and happened within Italy's borders. So they have every right to prosecute the hijackers in an Italian court and punish them by Italian law.

    My german mom was part of the service/waitress staff on this ship when it made a week long test tour after its renovation, but decided to leave the ship and her position because of the poor conditions for the crew on board. She said that their uniforms were quite messy when they got them, the crew rooms were dirty and infested with cockroaches and most importantly she said that the male crew was very aggressive towards the female crew. So much so that she only ever walked the ship with another woman to be safer... So in the end she decided to leave ship at a port near Rome were the first passengers arrived and went back to Germany via train. She still remebers that her quite expensive beautycase was stolen at the train station lol Some time later she heard in the news about this incident. She still has photographs from the ship at that time. Iv'e sent her the video xD

But the second or third time it came up, I realized that I vaguely remembered this happening and watched the video. In 1985, I graduated high school and later in the summer went to USMC boot camp at Parris Island. I am guessing this happened in between and that is why I have a distant memory of it nearly 40 years later.

And a lack of peaceful solution is exactly why the boat was hijacked in the first place. They think violence and oppression is always the answer, even when it comes to resistance to said violence and oppression.
