<keyword id="19897536" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="netflix" source="keywords">Netflix</keyword> recently released Anubhav Sinha’s <keyword id="20777484" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="IC-814" source="keywords">IC 814</keyword>: The <keyword id="22293323" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Kandahar-Hijack" source="keywords">Kandahar Hijack</keyword>, a show based on true events detailed in Devi Sharan and Srinjoy Chowdhury’s book Flight into Fear: A Captain’s Story. It's suffice to say that the show has garnered quite a bit of attention, considering it is a chilling reminder of the harrowing, 8-day-long Indian Airlines flight hijack that eventually ended in the Taliban-controlled territory of Kandahar. The star-studded cast, which included <keyword id="19901508" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="vijay-varma" source="keywords">Vijay Varma</keyword>, Naseeruddin Shah, Pankaj Kapur, Aravind Swamy and Dia Mirza, the supporting cast and the show's makers did a phenomenal job in stitching together a gripping narrative around what went on during the 1999 hijack. We get to see a representation of the brave captain, five disconcerting hijackers and the only casualty from the hijack, Rupin Katyal, as Rupesh, among others. The hijackers addressed one another as Chief, Doctor, Burger, Bhola and Shankar, as per the Union home minister's statement, published on January 6, 2006. The same names have been used in the series that has sparked a fresh controversy now with some netizens accusing the makers of hiding the real names of the terrorists: Ibrahim Athar, Sunny Ahmed Qazi, Zahoor Ibrahim, Shahid Akhter and Sayed Shakir. Amid all this controversy, one key detail that the show missed has failed to get any spotlight! <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="112990033" title="I&amp;amp;B Ministry summons Netflix India&amp;#39;s head of content over &amp;#39;IC 814&amp;#39; web series" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> <h2>Omission by choice?</h2>For those who remember the entire hijack episode when it happened, the show IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack may feel incomplete as it failed to highlight one key element. On the show, there was one white passenger who demanded to be seated in the business class even as the armed men threatened to harm him and were later subjected to plenty of torment by the hijackers. While the show didn’t name him as such, it did lead us to wonder if that character was a reference to <keyword id="23021199" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Roberto-Giori" source="keywords">Roberto Giori</keyword> — a special passenger on IC 814 who might’ve played a huge role in mounting international pressure on the Indian government’s to release three prisoners from Indian jails. Roberto Giori was a Swiss-Italian businessman whose influence in global finance added a crucial dimension to the crisis. Giori, the then owner of De La Rue Giori, controlled 90% of the world’s currency-printing business, making him a <keyword id="23021200" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="high-profile-hostage" source="keywords">high-profile hostage</keyword>. Giori was returning from a holiday in Kathmandu with his companion, Cristina Calabresi, when the plane was hijacked by five armed men from the Harkat-ul-Mujahideen terrorist group, TIME <a href="https://time.com/archive/6954850/who-was-that-special-passenger/">reported</a> in 2000. “At one point during the eight-day hijacking of <keyword id="20779541" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-Airlines-Flight-814" source="keywords">Indian Airlines Flight 814</keyword>, the abductors demanded $200 million from the Indian government. Little did they know that one of the hostages could have effortlessly written them a check for that amount,” said the TIME. <h2>A high-profile hostage</h2>The flight’s descent into chaos saw all passengers experience extreme duress, including threats to their lives, substandard living conditions and constant psychological pressure. And despite his stature, Giori wasn’t treated any differently. It is suspected that the hijackers weren’t aware of his position either. But what made Giori’s presence on the flight particularly intriguing was the response it elicited from the <keyword id="20900102" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Swiss-government" source="keywords">Swiss government</keyword>. Switzerland, fully aware of Giori’s influence, reportedly dispatched a special envoy to Kandahar and is said to have quietly pressured the Indian government to ensure his safe release. This <keyword id="20546334" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="diplomatic-intervention" source="keywords">diplomatic intervention</keyword> was not widely publicised at the time, but it likely added another layer of urgency to the already intense negotiations. After seven days of tense standoff, the Indian government made the difficult decision to release three high-profile militants, including Maulana Masood Azhar, to secure the safe return of all hostages. The experience left a lasting impact on Giori, who later reflected on the ordeal as a life-changing event. He noted that the determination and preparedness of the hijackers were a stark reminder of the real and present dangers in the world. He also remarked on how what he experienced on the plane had changed him forever. “I don’t know what it is: Hinduism, the so-called fatalism of Indians. But the way the passengers stayed so calm throughout, even the children, was exemplary. I told myself, if the plane had been full of Italians or French, it would have been very different,” he was quoted as saying. The Netflix series, as it receives praise for its gripping depiction of the hijacking, surprisingly missed the opportunity to explore this fascinating angle. Giori’s presence on the flight was not just a footnote; it is said to be a pivotal element that underscores the global ramifications of the event. His story is a reminder of how international diplomacy, wealth and power intersect in the most unexpected ways, even in situations as harrowing as an aircraft hijacking. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="112857213" title="MH370: Exploring compelling conspiracy theories around Malaysian Airlines’ mysterious flight disappearance episode" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>

With Mirzapur 3, we strive to build on the momentum and take the narrative to a whole new level, exploring new facets and dimensions of each character's life replete with new plot twists. We are incredibly excited for fans to witness the showdown for Mirzapur's throne unfold in the new season." He added, "The stakes have gone notches higher and the canvas has surely become bigger. After a hiatus of three and a half years, we, just like our viewers, cannot wait for the global premiere of Mirzapur 3 on <keyword id="19925152" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Prime-Video" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Prime Video" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Prime Video">Prime Video</keyword>." The first season of the crime drama premiered in 2018 and season second came in 2020. Ahead of the release of the third season in July, actor Ali Fazal took a stroll down memory lane and recalled the challenges he faced while reprising his role of Guddu Pandit. "I don't know what season 3 holds but I know I have justified a graph for this particular boy who has the essence of it all who holds his innocence despite so much corruption around him. And a young boy almost at his impressionable age getting turned into all kinds of demons and things along the way because of the circumstances in the society, and he becomes what he becomes. So yes it has taken a lot out of me, I will always cherish it," he shared. He added, "It is the world that I don't belong to, it is the character I don't belong to, but I have tried to make sense of it, with the analytical approach I have to study it, the way they write, the way they think, the way he interacts with the people in those areas and of course kahaniyan, kahaniyan hain, they can be told in any perspective. In this case, you see it from Guddu's perspective. The rest of it has been the icing on the cake, there is the bodybuilder, there is a manickness, the madness that you see but these are the effects of core traumas that this person has been through."Ali further explained how he prepared for the role." "To be able to have so much compassion that I wanted to achieve through playing this part, and also to the audiences to be able to play something like this requires someone who can see, what a person in that situation can go through or maybe any other situation, it can be endless situations in a story, I think that was my biggest challenge, to be able to put yourself away from it and look at it and without judging it just observe. So I have tried to do that I really hope it brings some heart out on the big screen or any screen where it will be watched," he said. The new season will be out on Prime Video on July 5.

And it sheds light on the content resonating most with viewers in India, a crucial market for the streaming giant. The report unveils a significant surge in viewership for Indian series and films, accumulating over 1 billion views in 2023. Leading the pack is Sujoy Ghosh's suspenseful thriller <keyword id="20075862" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jaane-Jaan" source="keywords">Jaane Jaan</keyword>, captivating audiences with 20.2 million views and securing the 83rd position on the global Top 400 list.

Sinha, known for films such as "Mulk", "Article 15" and "Bheed", said it was a responsibility to be as authentic as possible while working on the series. "When I started doing research, almost everyone remembers a few things about the hijack, and what all happened during the process. I realised it is a very complex story and a lot of things happened in those seven days and not many people know about it. "I met a lot of officers, passengers, the pilot, and there was a lot more to share. We have put it all in the show... We had to make it factually correct and yet dramatic and engaging...

In the OTT series, the five hijackers of the flight from Kathmandu are referred to as Chief, Doctor, Burger, Bhola and Shankar. "I vividly remember IC-814. I was very aware of that accident and very involved in following that. Every man and woman in India and indeed in South Asia knows that the hijack of IC-814 from Kathmandu was committed by Pakistan's ISI-backed terrorists. Now, nobody thinks that there were some people from India who did the hijacking. So how the people have Hindu names in that movie, I don't know. But I'm very happy that the I&amp;B Ministry and the GoI have taken cognizance of this and have summoned Netflix" BJP leader Rajeev Chandrasekhar said. The Hijack drama created by <keyword id="19913032" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Anubhav-Sinha" source="keywords">Anubhav Sinha</keyword> and Trishant Shrivastava stars actors Naseeruddin Shah, Pankaj Kapur, Vijay Varma, Arvind Swamy, Patralekhaa and Dia Mirza.

Soon after take-off, five hijackers, who were posing as passengers, took control of the plane. The hostage crisis lasted for seven days and ended after the then <keyword id="23009406" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Prime-Minister-Atal-Bihari-Vajpayee" source="keywords">Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee</keyword> government agreed to release three militants. There were 191 passengers on board including 15 crew members, where one person was stabbed, who succumbed to his injuries, while several others were wounded. BJP's IT cell chief Amit Malviya had posted on X, "The hijackers of IC-814 were dreaded terrorists, who acquired aliases to hide their Muslim identities. Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha, legitimised their criminal intent, by furthering their non-Muslim names. Result? Decades later, people will think Hindus hijacked IC-814." Malviya further posted, "This will not just weaken / put in question India's security apparatus in the long run, but also shift the blame away from the religious cohort, that is responsible for all the bloodshed." In a suo motu statement by then External Affairs Minister Jaswant Singh in Parliament stated that the hijacked IC-814 aircraft made several landings at Amritsar, Lahore, Dubai before being taken to Kandahar in Afghanistan. The government, then led by Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, was forced to release three terrorists -- <keyword id="6459729" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Masood-Azhar" source="Orion">Masood Azhar</keyword>, Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh and Mushtaq Ahmed Zargar -- from Indian prisons to secure the release of the hostages. Later, Masood Azhar went on to form Jaish-E-Mohammad, which claimed responsibility for Pulwama attack in India in 2019, 2001 Parliament attacks and 2016 Uri attacks, amongst others. Currently in Pakistan, Azhar remains active, and was seen attending a wedding in Bahawalpur city of Pakistan's Punjab last month, per media reports. As per a January 6, 200 statement by the Union Home Ministry the names of the hijackers were identified as Ibrahim Athar, Bahawalpur; Shahid Akhtar Sayed, Karachi; Sunny Ahmed Qazi, Karachi; Mistri Zahoor Ibrahim, Karachi and Shakir from Sukkur city "To the passengers of the hijacked place these hijackers came to be known respectively as (1) Chief, (2) Doctor, (3) Burger, (4) Bhola and (5) Shankar, the names by which the hijackers invariably addressed one another," the statement read.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Scientists have created new computer simulations to study what happens during a supernova.</li><li>Their models show that sometimes when stars die, they form a black hole that goes screaming into space.</li></ul>Scientists studying how supernovas explode may have discovered a new process for how certain <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/black-hole-speed-limit-could-reveal-new-laws-of-physics-2023-8">black holes</a> form.Turns out, some <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nasa-black-hole-james-webb-space-telescope-discovery-early-universe-2023-11">baby black holes</a> hit the ground running at colossal speeds just moments after they take shape.Typically, black holes form from the core of a supermassive star after it explodes in a brilliant burst of light, called a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nearby-supernova-galaxy-brightest-how-to-watch-2023-6">supernova</a>. The core accretes, or collects, left-over gas from the star's guts, until it grows to be so dense, that it <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/strange-galaxy-spotted-nasa-may-rewrite-theory-black-holes-2023-12">forms a black hole</a>.<div type="image" title="Illustration of a supernova explosion in space." height="1125" width="2666" msid="107187845" hostid="261" sizebytes="110344"></div>However, the speed, shape, and size of the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nearby-supernova-galaxy-brightest-how-to-watch-2023-6">initial explosion</a> varies widely depending on the mass and density of the parent star before it explodes.Moreover, those factors play a key role in what happens to the star's core and how it may form a black hole, according to a new study posted on the <a target="_blank" href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.12109">preprint server ArXiv.</a>For example, when a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/star-betelgeuse-shining-brighter-than-usual-will-one-day-explode-2023-5">parent star</a> is of relatively low mass and very compact, computer simulations suggest that it will explode symmetrically, forming a near-perfect sphere.<div type="image" title="Illustration of a symmetric, spherical supernova explosion." height="1441" width="2081" msid="107187847" hostid="261" sizebytes="96976"></div>But when the star is very massive and less compact, the supernova is more asymmetrical and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nasa-james-webb-telescope-reveal-new-detail-iconic-supernova-2023-8">the explosion</a> typically lasts longer, according to the new study."So you're exploding in one direction more than other directions, and in those other directions, it's very possible that you have continued significant accretion," that could lead to a black hole, Adam Burrows, the lead author of the paper and a professor of astrophysical sciences at Princeton University, told Business Insider.Something else happens from supernova explosions. The stellar remnant gets a kick into the universe, and when the explosion is asymmetrical, that kick can be pretty intense, Burrows said.The kick is exactly what it sounds like. The object — a black hole in this case — is sent flying off into space, sometimes at colossal speeds of up to 1,000 kilometers per second, or about 2.2 million mph.<div type="image" title="Illustration of a black hole in space surrounded by bright light." height="1399" width="2142" msid="107187849" hostid="261" sizebytes="135178"></div>It's like the recoil from a gun after <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/terms-to-know-about-guns-when-discussing-mass-shootings-2019-8">firing a bullet</a>, Vijay Varma, an assistant professor in of mathematics at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth who was not involved in the research, told Business Insider.So, for a brief while after birth, these black holes may be moving throughout space, sometimes as fast as 1,000 kilometers per second, the paper theorizes. But this movement is probably temporary, and somewhat rare, Burrows said."They're not zooming around, and circling, and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ultramassive-black-hole-33-billion-times-bigger-than-sun-durham-2023-3">causing all sorts of damage</a> as they stay inside the galaxy," Burrows said.<h2>Building a universe inside a computer</h2><div type="image" title="image of space with cluster of galaxies and stars everywhere" height="1521" width="2000" msid="107187852" hostid="261" sizebytes="156226"></div>The new study includes 20, 3-D simulations of a supernova explosion."This is the largest set of long-term (many seconds after bounce) 3D state-of-the-art core-collapse simulations ever created," the researchers reported in the paper.Previous simulations of this type of scenario have been too short to arrive at conclusions about how stellar cores are then shot out into the universe, Burrows said.That's because these computer simulations take tens of millions of zones, and each zone contains information about the windspeed, temperature, barometric pressure, and other features of this theoretical environment, like mapping weather. Think of all the complexities of building a universe inside a computer. Not many academic programs have access to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/deepsouth-supercomputer-simulates-human-brain-go-online-next-year-2023-12">super computers</a> that are able to build these simulations, Burrows said.Though Varma doesn't study supernova death, he said that theoretical work like this has implications for many other fields of astrophysical research.<div type="image" title="An image shows an illustration of what a black hole jet might look like" height="674" width="1041" msid="107187854" hostid="261" sizebytes="45038"></div>"All of this theory is very important. And as we connect them to observations, we can try to trace the evolution of the black holes back in time," Varma said.<h2>If the black holes are moving</h2>If you hear blazing-fast black holes and start to panic, don't. Burrows said it is incredibly unlikely that these blackholes would travel <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/closest-black-hole-to-earth-discovered-millions-more-hidden-2020-5">into our solar system</a>.Space is <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/high-energy-radiation-hotspot-space-puzzles-astronomers-2024-1">so vast</a>, Varma added, that you'd be better off betting on the lottery than waiting for a black hole to come visit our solar system. "It's astronomically unlikely that anything like that will happen," he said.In the unlikely scenario that a black hole or a neutron was headed towards us, Burrows said, "then it would be a bad day."<div type="image" title="Illustration of a black hole obliterating a planet." height="1362" width="2202" msid="107187856" hostid="261" sizebytes="196782"></div>The fact that our planet and the rest of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/brightest-gamma-ray-burst-all-time-blinded-scientist-space-equipment-2023-3">the solar system</a> have survived for the last 4.5 billion years should be reassurance enough that a black hole won't come screaming through our neighborhood anytime soon, if ever.The study has been accepted for publication in the peer-reviewed Astrophysical Journal.
