In popular culture The song "122 Hours of Fear" by The Screamers, recorded in 1978, was inspired by the hijacking. The song "RAF" by Brian Eno and Snatch (Judy Nylon and Patti Palladin) was created using sound elements from a Baader Meinhof ransom message available by public telephone at the time of the hijacking. The hijacking and the hostage rescue operation were portrayed in two German television films: in 1997 and Mogadischu, directed by Roland Suso Richter, in 2008. The hijacking and rescue were also portrayed in the Black Ops television series, season 2 episode 76, titled "Operation Fire Magic". The 2015 video game Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege used Lufthansa Flight 181, along with other historical hostage extraction operations, as inspiration for the game and as research for making the game more accurate. The hijacking and rescue were also a subplot device in the 2018 film Suspiria. See also Operation Entebbe List of hostage crises References Further reading McNab, Chris.
