American and Italian troops surrounded the plane, and the terrorists were taken into Italian custody. On October 7, four heavily armed Palestinian terrorists hijacked the Achille Lauro in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Alexandria, Egypt. Some 320 crewmembers and 80 passengers, including 11 Americans, were taken hostage. Hundreds of other passengers had disembarked the cruise ship earlier that day to visit Cairo and tour the Egyptian pyramids. Identifying themselves as members of the Palestine Liberation Front--a Palestinian splinter group--the gunmen demanded the release of 50 Palestinian militants imprisoned in Israel. If their demands were not met, they threatened to blow up the ship and kill the Americans on board. The next morning, they also threatened to kill the British passengers.","poster":"https://cropper.watch.aetnd.com/public-content-aetn.video.aetnd.com/video-thumbnails/AETN-History_VMS/21/203/tdih-oct10-HD.jpg"},"video_of_the_day":[0]}},"tdih_year_term":{"id":604,"count":22,"description":"","link":"https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/year/2014","name":"2014","slug":"2014","taxonomy":"tdih_year","parent":0,"meta":{"featured_articles":[],"featured_video":[]},"yoast_head_json":{"title":"2014 Archives | HISTORY","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/year/2014","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"2014 Archives | HISTORY","og_url":"https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/year/2014","og_site_name":"HISTORY","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","schema":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/year/2014","url":"https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/year/2014","name":"2014 Archives | HISTORY","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://www.history.com#website"},"breadcrumb":{"@id":"https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/year/2014#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/year/2014#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://www.history.com"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"2014"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://www.history.com#website","url":"https://www.history.com","name":"HISTORY","description":"","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://www.history.com/search/{search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"}]}}}}],"images":{},"terms":{"17":{"id":17,"count":245,"description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom raising families to leading armies, women such as Catherine the Great, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Queen Amanirenas, Queen Elizabeth I, Susan B.
