EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) takes us back to a significant moment in history - the infamous Dawsons Field hijackings that occurred on 6 September 1970. In this powerful image, we witness the aftermath of an audacious act of terrorism carried out by members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). Four jet aircraft, originally bound for New York City, were mercilessly hijacked and forced to land at a remote airfield nestled in Jordan's vast expanse known as Dawsons Field. The sheer audacity and precision with which these acts were executed left the world stunned. The photograph captures not only the physical location but also echoes the gravity of this event that shook nations across the globe. It serves as a chilling reminder of how terrorism can infiltrate even seemingly secure spaces. Dawsons Field became synonymous with fear and uncertainty during those tumultuous times in the Middle East. This snapshot freezes a moment in time when innocent lives were held hostage, geopolitical tensions escalated, and international security was put to test. As we reflect upon this haunting piece of history captured by UIG, it is crucial to remember those who lost their lives or endured unimaginable trauma during these hijackings. May this photograph serve as a poignant reminder that unity against such acts remains paramount as we strive towards peace and understanding in our ever-evolving world.
