That's right HKL,
It was a B767-200ER of Ethiopian Airlines and it was hijacked shortly after take off from Addis Ababa en-route to Nairobi.
The 3 Ethopian hijackers forced the Captain to change course several times.
The aircraft eventually ran out of fuel and as a result was forced to ditch into the sea about 200ft from the coast of Moroni,the capital of the Comores Islands.
All 3 hijackers died as they were reportedly standing up when the aircraft hit the water.
Sadly, 10 crew also died,as did 117 out of the 160 passengers.
