The Most Dangerous Extinct Animals Ever Found On Earth | Some Interesting Facts About Extinct Animals

Since ancient times, the earth has been inhabited by many such animals, which were considered very dangerous and dreadful. Even many of them were very large in size, and many were known for their terrifying attacks. But as time progressed, their number gradually decreased and today they became completely extinct. In today's article we are going to talk about some such animals, which of course have become extinct from this world, but if they existed today, would their existence threaten those animals which are currently on earth?

Kaprosuchus

Kaprosuchus was a prehistoric crocodilian that existed millions of years ago. This animal belonged to the species of crocodile, and as you may have noticed that today's earth's crocodile can neither run fast nor turn fast. But thanks to Kaprosuchus's long legs, which helps them to run faster and even turn easily. Along with that, due to the large and powerful jaws of this animal, it could easily hunt animals many times larger than itself. The length of these Kaprosuchus was about 19 feet.

Helicoprion

Helicoprion was a fish of a species of shark whose teeth were even sharper than a woodcutter machine. This fish had a strange 'whorl'-like 'jaw' structure that contained a set of hundreds of shark teeth, that is, a specialized set of hunting equipment to hunt specific prey. Helicoprion could easily tear apart its prey with its fearsome jaws, but this terrible fish had ended from this earth millions of years ago.

Woolly mammoth

The Woolly mammoth was a species of the giant elephant with large hairs on its body. Its large and pointed teeth made it even more dangerous. According to scientists, the length of these animals was about four to six meters and their weight was around 6 tons. These animals are believed to have become extinct about 10,000 years ago. Scientists still don't know what caused their extinction, but many believe that climate change and an increase in human predators were the cause.

Giant Spiders

According to scientific studies, the dinosaurs lived on Earth for about 165 million years and went extinct about 65 million years ago, but during this period, there were some other frightful creatures roaming the Earth as well, known as Giant Spiders. Scientists had found evidence of some giant spiders from the time of dinosaurs, which were very large in size and used to eat large animals rather than insects.

Titanoboa

This animal was one of the species of large snakes which used to be about 42 to 50 feet in length and could reach a weight of about 1,135 kg. According to scientists, this giant snake was considered one of the most dangerous animals of that time and the largest snake ever discovered. This means Titanoboa was even bigger than the anaconda which we see today as the largest snake on earth. The most surprising thing was that it used to eat crocodiles with great fervor, which everyone is so afraid of.

 Sabre-Toothed Lion

This animal belonged to the species of lion, also known by another name "Sabre-toothed cat". It was considered one of the most dangerous predators of that time, which could easily prey on animals many times bigger than itself. It could easily tear apart other animals with the use of its long sharp teeth, a pair of elongated bladelike canine teeth in their upper jaw. But this animal has also become extinct millions of years ago.

Planetnik: A Daemon That Could Control Rain, Hail, And Weather | The Mythical Beings Of Tatra Mountains

Although the mystical stories of the Tatra Mountains are quite popular throughout Poland. But "Kazimierz Przerwa Tetmajer", who lived from the year 1865 to 1940, was a famous Polish poet and writer, who had spent his entire life exploring the Tatra mountains. In 1906, he published a book called "The Fairy-Tale World of the Tatra Mountains", in which he explained in detail about the mystical beings that exist on the Tatra Mountains. We have already discussed two of these mystical beings in our previous articles, named Dziwozony and The Ghost Monk. In today's article, we are going to talk about some other mystical beings, about which there are myths that they are still present on these mountains.

Duck With Golden Eggs

On the Tatra Mountains, there exist a rock named Pisana, which is situated at a very high altitude, and near which there is also a pond. After taking a closer look at this structure, we would spot a hole there that is said to be the abode of a unique mystical duck. It is said that a magical duck resides here which spends its time in this pond and lays a golden egg once a year. These eggs are hidden in the underground cavern system inside that hole. It is believed that those who saw this magical duck and its golden eggs, left this creature considering it as a spirit. But later many people tried to explore this area by reading written accounts, but it was impossible for them to go inside this hole.

The King of Snakes

According to the author, a mysterious snake resides in the forests of this mountain range. It is a giant snake with a crown on its head. It has been present in that area from a very distant past and very few people have claimed to see it. About this snake, there are beliefs that it is very bright in color and often rests in an open space to warm itself in the sunshine. It also has some henchmen with whom it can communicate well. Initially, these henchmen used to go to the villages settled around this mountain range and kidnap young women and take them to the King of Snakes. But there was a time when valiant hero Perowicz came to know about this snake. Perowicz was not an ordinary human, as it is believed that his mother conceived him by eating a miraculous pearl, due to which he had amazing powers. Perłowicz attacked the King of Snakes and managed to defeat him. The snake's henchmen were killed and the snake went into underground caves where it was imprisoned forever.

Planetnik

Another spirit that existed in this area since ancient times is Pranetnik. This spirit was considered evil as well as friendly, a daemon that could control rain, hail, and weather. In earlier times, the people of the nearby villages knew this spirit very well. When it became angry with someone, it would destroy their fields with storms and rain, but those who behaved well with it, it also alerted them of impending calamities. Płanetnik often descended from the sky and spend time among people. The Fairy-Tale World of the Tatra mountains presents the story of a mill worker named Sobanek who regularly provides food to Planetnik. In return, whenever a storm or heavy rain was about to hit Sobanek's village, Planetnik would already warn him about the impending weather-related disasters. 

There are many more secrets hidden in this mysterious region of Poland, some people believe in these things and some consider them to be just fiction. Now it's up to you to decide what you believe.

There was a bear named Wojtek who fought in World War II, but despite this great work, very few people know about him. Actually, it is a matter of 1942 when some polish soldiers were passing through the hills of Iran, where they saw a young Iranian boy who had a bear cub whose mother had been shot by hunters. That little bear was very cute in appearance, so the soldiers bought it from that boy and started taking care of it.

To ask for food, he would hold the hands of his companions with his mouth. Whenever Wojtek saw his unit engaged in work, he himself would come forward to help them by lifting the crates and never drop any of them. In reality, Wojtek was just a bear, but his intelligence was quite similar to that of humans.

Why Is Titanic Still Not Taken Out Of The Ocean Even After A Century? Know The Reason

You all must have heard about Titanic, we are not talking about the film but the real Titanic ship, on the basis of which this film was made. Known as the world's largest ship, the Titanic has been sunk more than a century ago, and people know where its debris is, but still, that debris has not been taken out from the ocean. But why this ship, which was once called the ship of dreams, is still decaying in the ocean, and why its debris has not been pulled out yet, so let's talk about this topic today?

On 10 April 1912, Titanic set out for New York on its maiden voyage from Southampton, but on 15 April 1912 it collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean and broke into two pieces and its wreckage was buried at a depth of 3.8 kilometers. The most important thing is, where this ship was sunk, it was complete darkness there and the temperature in the depth of the ocean reaches around one degree Celsius. At the same time, it was very difficult for a human to reach such depth and then come back safely. 

In the early decades after the sinking, the enormous pressure of ocean water was the biggest challenge for explorers. Because at that time there were no suitable equipments to face it, which could withstand the pressure of the water and take humans to the bottom. But when the Titanic was discovered in 1985 with the help of a deep-sea vehicle, it was seen that it was too late now, as the iron-eating bacteria had completely destroyed the entire shipwreck.

In this condition, if we try to lift the wreckage with the help of technology we have now, then probably all the debris will get mixed in the dust and our hands will get nothing. Along with that, It would also be an injustice to those buried people who have been sleeping deeply in the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean for the last hundred years. This is the reason that in 2001 UNESCO placed it under the Scope of Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage.

It is said that now the wreckage of the Titanic will not be able to last long because it is decomposing very rapidly. If experts are to be believed, in the coming 20-30 years, the debris of the Titanic will completely vanish and will merge in the ocean water. Actually, the metal-eating bacteria found in the ocean are rapidly devouring its iron composition, causing it to disappear very quickly. According to reports, these rust-causing bacteria eat about 180 kg of debris every day and this is the reason why scientists believe that now the age of Titanic is not much left.

The 1848 Sea Serpent Mystery (Mysteries Of Oceans) - The "Sea Serpent Monster" Witnessed By The Captain Of The HMS Daedalus in 1848

From ancient times, humans have been making long journeys to distant countries through oceans, and during these voyages, they occasionally encountered giant sea creatures, most of which were giant snakes or sea serpents. The sightings of these giant snakes have been described in many travelogues from ancient times to modern times. The sighting of a sea monster becomes extremely difficult to dispute when the ship's captain as well as all crew members claim to have seen it. There have probably been many such incidents in the past when these Sea Serpents were seen, and one of which was quite shocking which we are going to tell you today.

On 6 August 1848, the Royal Navy's warship HMS Daedalus was heading towards St Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean. The captain of the ship, McQuhae, described the encounter in the official report. It was five o'clock in the evening, and because of the dark clouds, the sunlight was a little less. At that time, the ship was about 300 miles away from the coast of Namibia when suddenly they spotted a creature in the water. It was a tall creature whose height was estimated by the captain and the crew to be at least 60 feet. It looked like an enormous serpent with its head about four feet above the water. 

This serpent was so close to the ship that according to the captain, even if it were someone I knew, I should have easily recognized his features with the naked eye. According to him the skin of that creature was dark brown, and yellowish-white near the neck. It swam parallel to their ship for about 20 minutes and had a very high swimming speed. The crew members had also not seen any such creature in their lifetime before, due to which they started making different assumptions when they saw it. But everyone agreed on one thing for sure, It was a serpent.

Mr. Drummond, who was present in the crew, also wrote his experience about this creature in his personal diary which was published in the year 1997. There were similarities in Drummond's diary and captain's report, with both of them believing that it was a serpent. According to both, the head of that creature was about 4 feet above the water and it remained in view for around twenty minutes. Drummond himself had made a drawing of this creature in his diary, seeing which all the crew members agreed that this was the creature. After this encounter, people gave different theories to describe this sighting logically and it remained a mystery as the captain did not have any evidence.

But in the same year, a story was published in the London Times newspaper, the story being a sighted description by the captain of another ship. He revealed that recently their ship was attacked by a sea serpent, but in return, they fired at the serpent, injuring the snake as well, causing it to disappear underwater away from the ship. According to him, the serpent was about a hundred feet long and he described the head of this creature in the same words as Captain McQuhae and his crew did.

But now the question arises how this village got its name as kidney valley, the reason being that every person living here sells his kidney to organ smugglers. The so-called 'organ brokers' often visit this village and persuade people to sell their kidneys in return for some money. Some villagers even disclosed that the traffickers who smuggle organs lure the people here by saying that after removing the kidney, another kidney would grow back in its place. Due to this, the innocent people of the village get caught in their trap and in the greed of a few rupees give their valuable part to those smugglers.

A woman named Geeta, who lived there, told that she and her husband had sold their kidneys for two lakhs (Nepali rupees) to buy a plot of land there to build a house. But despite doing so, an earthquake hits the region and, her house turned into ruins. Sometimes some people even sell their one kidney for only 2000 rupees to satisfy their hunger or basic needs. This game of selling kidneys is going on not only in this village but in most areas of Nepal. According to statistics, since the earthquake struck Nepal, Nepalese people are selling their body parts for money.

The Tales Of Giants in the Solomon Island | The Solomon Islands Mysteries

The Solomon Islands is a sovereign state of Oceania to the east of Papua New Guinea, which was discovered by Spanish navigator Alvaro de Mendana in 1568 and named them "Islas Salomon". The Soloman Islands are actually a group of various islands, consisting of six major islands and over 900 smaller islands. During World War II, there was also a war that occurred between American and Japanese forces on its largest island, Guadalcanal, known as the Battle of Guadalcanal. There is also a dense rainforest on this island, which is hiding its secrets inside. It is believed that Giants still exist here, such a race of humans whose length is up to 15 feet and their stories have been found since ancient times. 

People residing on the island have always claimed to have seen these giants, but apart from these, there have been some such encounters with giants of people from outside which it would not be right to leave it as a fantasy. During World War II, when Japanese soldiers and Americans fought here, the Japanese soldiers themselves claimed to have encountered giants here. They opened fire on the giants, but the bullets had no effect on them. After this, the giants filled with wrath and attacked the soldiers with trees. 

Locals told that the giants had also kidnapped a woman named "Mango" and imprisoned her for 25 years. The locals believed that she was dead, but years later she escaped from their captivity and returned with her surprising story. During that time she was pregnant and later gave birth to a child, but when the child turned five years old, Mango’s brothers slaughtered him and buried him there. His grave still exists on the island. Searching for something in these dense forests is quite difficult, but locals claim that the giants have built an underground cavern system beneath the entire island within which they live. The way to this underground world is hidden somewhere in these forests, as most of the time they stay inside, but from time to time were also seen in the forests.

Gold is also found on this island, for which a company had set up its machinery in the gold mining area. The company started using mining bulldozers to clear the mining area, but one day workers claimed that the bulldozer giant blade attachment was missing. They were all very surprised that how could someone steal such a heavy equipment but then suddenly they saw some giant footprints there. Chasing those marks, the workers reached that equipment, and they too were convinced of the existence of giants. 

Not only this, Guadalcanal's minister and government officials have also claimed to see giants. Once when these people went out to survey the gold mine area, the road in the forest was very slippery due to which their car got stuck in the mud. The officials decided to get help from the nearby settlement, and they brought about 20 people with them to get the car out of the mud. But what they saw was that the car was already out of the mud and parked on a solid road with two giants nearby. But in a very quick time, they both got lost in the woods.

The Underwater Alien Base - UFOs in the Solomon Islands | Transcendental Mysteries Of The Oceans

It is true that we know very little about Earth's vast oceans and that information is even less than what is known about the surface of the Moon. These gigantic water bodies are the largest part of the earth, covering more than 70% of the earth's area. Since ancient times, sailors traveling here and people living near the oceans have experienced numerous mysterious happenings. This magical world of oceans is said to contained giant monsters, ghost ships, the underwater alien base, and some other unknown secrets that we know nothing about. In today's article, we will discuss the underwater alien base and try to unravel some unknown secrets of the oceans.

The Underwater Alien Base - UFOs in the Solomon Islands

The eyewitness accounts of UFOs and Aliens have been documented for centuries in the Pacific Ocean near the Solomon Islands. The details suggest that the UFOs may have risen out of the pacific from the side where warships of the Battle of Guadalcanal had sunken during World War II. The locals here have been claiming to see various strange lights and objects above the sea as well as under the sea. The UFOs have also been seen flying near the mountains and volcanoes of that area. Some also witnessed such strange lights above the sky, which rise out of the water, hover around for some time, and then disappear in the air. These objects are usually visible to the fishermen, who say that sometimes these objects pass so close that they feel their heat. But this is not a strange thing for the locals as they have been watching all these events over the years. 

Apart from this, there are also many accounts of alien abduction, when people disappeared from this world forever after coming in contact with such objects. Some astronaut researchers believe that there is an underwater alien base in this area. Since ancient times, people have talked about the existence of many strange creatures in this area like Adaro, a malevolent merman-like sea spirit. The tribal people here tell about this creature that it was a half-human and half-fish-like monster that used to attack people with poison. According to them, these creatures had come from near the sun. Researchers believe that there may be a deep connection between these creatures and the base of aliens. It may be that these are the creatures from other planets that inhabit this area and at the same time, their secret base is also present under the water.

When Scientists' Experiment Went Extremely Wrong Resulting In The Birth Of Most Dangerous Killer Bees, Gave Painful Death To People In A Very Quick Time

How a little mistake of scientists gave birth to such a bee whose bite hurts so much causing people to die immediately due to severe pain. Many of us may have experienced a sting from a bee, which may have brought little pain or discomfort for a while. But do you know that there is such a species of bee that is said to have killed at least 1,000 people by its sting? Not only humans but also animals could not escape their wrath, as many horses and other animals have died due to the sting of these bees. So let's try to know the full story of this incident, that is, how these killer bees were born.

In fact, in 1957, a biologist named Warwick E Kerr thought of preparing a hybrid of a honey bee that could produce more honey. Actually, the normal honey bees were not able to make much honey, that is why Warwick wanted to change the DNA of those bees to create a new species of bee that could produce more honey. With this purpose, he along with his team created a hybrid of a different honeybee by crossbreeding the African honey bee and the European honey bee. They carefully put those new hybrid bees in a big jar and named them Africanized bees. But what was about to happen after that was completely beyond their imagination. They noticed that these new bees were much more aggressive than normal bees, which means, they had accidentally given birth to a species of bee that was actually very dangerous for humans.

Now Warwick thought that he would kill those bees in this jar, but unfortunately, 26 swarms somehow got out from the jar and started increasing the population by crossbreeding rapidly. These bees then spread throughout the South American and North American continents. These new bees were very aggressive and would attack anyone with the slightest bit of annoyance. Africanized bees are said to be able to chase a person up to 400 meters and have a sting 10 times greater than that of European bees. Now you will be surprised to know that till date 1,000 people have died due to their stings. Now you can guess how much pain it would be if bitten by them and that is why these bees are given another name of killer bees.

Are the mermaids real? This question might have interrupted our mind so many times and it is such a creature whose stories we have always been hearing since childhood. But now this mystery has been uncovered as many such strange human babies with bodies like mermaids have been born, which has become the subject of research for doctors. According to doctors, the whole concept of the Mermaid is related to a medical condition occurring in humans called Sirenomelia. This condition is also known as Mermaid Syndrome. Due to mermaid syndrome, the upper part of the baby remains like a human, but the lower part is not fully developed and because of this the lower part looks like a mermaid's tail.

As we know the ocean is extremely large and deep, which contains innumerable creatures in it, and how many can be their number, we cannot even imagine. Here we are talking about living creatures, but do you know that once such a strange incident happened when 29 thousand toy ducks mysteriously appeared in the ocean. So let's try to know the complete story behind this incident.

The beginning of this incident started in 1992, when a cargo ship container full of bright yellow rubber ducks toys, and other bath toys tumbled into the North Pacific. Actually, this ship was traveling from China to America, when suddenly a storm came, which took the ship under its grip, resulting in the huge waves starting rising in the ocean. Due to this, the ship tilted to one side up to forty degrees, causing several shipping containers to be dumped into the waters, including one containing a consignment of 29,000 rubber duck toys. As a result, all these toy ducks emerged out of those containers and started floating over the water.

These duck toys didn't sink because they were made of rubber and that's how they floated in the ocean. Then a year later, due to the storms in the Pacific Ocean, they spread through water waves across the continent, which means almost into the entire world. But this event greatly surprised the scientists because this helped them to learn a lot about the flow of the ocean. Through this, they were able to track the movements of the Toys for information about great ocean currents, which affect the planet's overall climate. Of course, these ducks accidentally fell into the ocean, but the scientists were given a lot of information through this. And even today these ducks are floating in the ocean and are spread across the world.

Ghost Army: A Team Of Army That Astonished The Enemy With Its Dangerous Moves During World War II

Only humans take part in the war, right, but do you know once there was a war in which ghosts and humans fought against each other. Now you must be thinking about how can this be possible. But actually, this is true, as it has happened once in the past. So let's try to explain the whole incident in brief.

Actually, this incident dates back to the Second World War, when Hitler's Nazi army was at its peak to dominate the world with its power, including America too. These Nazi soldiers were so powerful and vicious that it was quite difficult to fight against them. That's why America had prepared an army of ghosts to give a befitting reply to them and that too of 1100 ghosts. In fact, they recorded the scary sounds of ghosts, arranged inflatable tanks, and made their soldiers dress like ghosts. Meaning a whole such scene was created which was completely representing the unpleasant fear of ghosts in such a realistic way. 

And one night, they installed giant speakers somewhere on the site and play ghostly sounds in it, and even arranged fake inflatable tanks there. Consequently, all soldiers dressed in ghost costumes attacked the Nazi soldiers, accompanied by tactical deception carried out with fake radio broadcasts. Now what, as everyone's condition worsens due to ghosts, in the same way, the condition of Hitler soldiers also started deteriorating and literally they ran away in fear. And this is how the war ended in such a way that America won it with the help of ghosts.

Basically, the main purpose of the Ghost Army was to mislead or confuse the enemy and this unit had fake weapons to intimidate their enemies. All the massive weapons this unit had were either made of wood or plastic, due to which the enemy forces thought that the ghost army had a variety of powerful weapons. This unit kept the enemy entangled with its various tricks and unique strategies and also effectively thwarted the united efforts of the enemy forces through intelligence. This unit was so expert in its work that the German army and other intelligence units never came to know that the Ghost Army had fake weapons.

The Ghost Army had many such qualities that would intimidate the enemy into messing with them because whenever war was declared, this unit marched with its full capacity (1100 soldiers), which created an atmosphere of panic in the opposing camp. At the same time, the soldiers of the ghost army would challenge the enemy with a loud roar, which made it quite natural to instill fear in the opposing forces.

Why Did 918 People Kill Themselves At The Behest Of One Man | The Mass Murder-Suicide That Turned Into Largest Mass Deaths In American History

There have been many such unusual incidents happened in history that have resulted in many people and communities having to bear the brunt. You've probably heard of the term "mass suicide", a form of suicide that occurs when a group of people kills themselves simultaneously. But today we are going to introduce you to an incident, in which it happened exactly the same, but while talking about this incident, instead of the word "mass suicide", it would be better to use mass murder-suicide. The incident involved the deaths of 918 people who decided to kill themselves only at the behest of one man in Jonestown, Guyana.

Actually, this incident took place in 1978 in America when there was a cult leader named James Warren Jones (Jim Jones), who had made a separate shelter for his adorers, where he and his followers lived. Everything was going on there according to his rules and regulations. At first, everything was going well, but later he started abusing his devotees. 

This story began in such a way when Jim Jones built a church named "Peoples Temple" during the 1950s in the name of helping the needy people to increase his faith among the people. Consequently, in a very short time, he succeeded In making thousands of people his followers on the basis of his religious beliefs and superstitions. Since Jim Jones was of communist ideology and his views were different from that of the US government. So he moved away from the city with his followers to the jungles of Guyana and established a small village there. But a few days later, his true reality started to emerge among the people.

Actually, Jim Jones used to get his followers to work all day long and when they went to sleep exhausted at night, he would not even let them sleep and start his speech. He had even engaged his soldiers to go door to door to see if anyone was sleeping and if anyone was found sleeping, he used to punish them severely. He even not allowed the people to go out of the village. When men and women have remained on duty, their children were kept in a community hall and their soldiers guarded the village day and night so that no one would escape. Jim Jones had so cleverly spread the web of his superstition among his followers that they used to believe what he said.

During this, when the US government got a little idea about the activities going on there, they thought of taking action. But soon Jim Jones also realized the government's plan. Now he understood that it was difficult for him to survive, so he thought that if I am dying, I would take other people with me. So he ordered all his followers to gather in one place. It is believed that during this time Jones placed a short speech before the people, according to which these words were said. "The US government is coming to kill us all, but before they can pierce us with bullets we must all drink this holy water (the name given to a poisonous drink). By doing this we will be saved from the pain of bullets". Jim also said that if you don't do this, they will blow us up with a bomb and treat the survivors like animals. They will rape women and inflict all kinds of problems on children. So we have to drink this holy water to avoid all these tortures.

According to his strategy, Jones had already made a soft drink by mixing dangerous poison in a big tub and started serving it to people. Anyone who refused to drink the poisonous drink was forcibly made to drink. In this way, over 900 people lost their lives influenced by a superstitious belief, and these numbers also included some 300, who were age 17 and under. This incident is considered one of the largest mass deaths ever in American history and it is said that Jim Jones's dead body was also found somewhere lying at the site. He was said to have shot himself or maybe someone shot him at his behest.

Yodogo Hijacking Incident - How Japan Tricked Hijackers To Rescue 129 Hostages

This incident of hijacking took place on March 31, 1970, when a Japanese flight named "Japan Air Lines Flight 351" take off from Tokyo to Fukuoka, commonly known as the "Yodogo". About 20 minutes after takeoff, when the plane reaches some altitude, nine young men on board the plane, armed with Japanese swords, steel pipes, and bombs, rise from their seats with the intention of hijacking the plane. After which, everyone sitting in the plane started screaming and the hijackers then gained control over 129 people (122 passengers and seven crew members) by showing them the power of their weapons. Actually, those nine men were members of the Red Army Faction of the Communist League, who demanded the pilots to fly the plane to Cuba, where their intention was to obtain training by communist military groups. 

But soon after, the hijackers were informed by the pilots that the plane could not take off for Cuba, as the plane was unable to hold the required amount of fuel. Upon learning of this, the hijackers spoke to the Japanese transport minister and asked to refuel the plane in Fukuoka airport in exchange for keeping the 129 hostages alive. But upon arrival at Fukuoka, the hijackers changed their decision and demanded that the plane be diverted to North Korea. But for their demand to be fulfilled, the police attempted to persuade the hijackers to release some of their hostages, and luckily, they succeeded and in return, the pilots were given a map of the Korean peninsula. But Japanese air traffic controllers played a trick here by attaching a note to the map instructing pilots to tune their radios to a specific frequency, as they were fully aware of the situation.

As a result, they deliberately misguided pilots in an attempt to land the plane at Gimpo Airport in Seoul, South Korea, where they had changed the airport's appearance entirely to that of a North Korean airport. But still, the hijackers were capable of knowing the whole situation and soon realized that they had been tricked. Therefore, Shinjiro Yamamura, the vice minister of Japan, voluntarily decided to take the place of the remaining hostages, which was accepted by the hijackers, and then they proceeded towards Pyongyang, North Korea. Eventually, the plane landed at North Korea's Mirim Airport on April 3, with Shinjiro Yamamura now as a hostage. Upon arrival at Mirim Airport, the hijackers surrendered themselves to North Korean authority.
