It's May 1971, and Qantas flight 755 takes off from Sydney on a
routine flight to Hong Kong.

Then a man calls the airline, saying he wants a half a million
dollars, or else 'the plane will blow up'.

The public anxiously watch the skies above Sydney, as bomb
experts are called in, and the plane's fuel runs dangerously low.

Host Richard Roxburgh takes a deep dive into the events of that
fateful day.
