Folks, a series on IC 814 - The Kandahar Hijack has been released on Netflix. Six episodes. View and share your opinion. Two things:
1. If you have any queries, I'm available here.
2. If you wish to know the story as it happened, get a Kindle copy of my book "IA's Terror Trail".

Despite accepting that waiting can be a taxing affair, their agressive attitude makes me livid. Even worse is some 'well-placed' people sharing and RTing the videos. It's designed to put pressure on the harried employees. Try doing this abroad.
