A number of television , radio , and newspaper reports listed Ladany as one of those killed . One headline stated : " Ladany Could Not Escape his Fate in Germany for a Second Time " . Ladany recalled later : The impact did not hit me at the time , when we were in Munich . It was when we arrived back in Israel . At the airport in Lod there was a huge crowd – maybe 20,000 , people – and each one of us , the survivors , stood by one of the coffins on the runway . Some friends came up to me and tried to kiss me and hug me as if I was almost a ghost that came back alive . It was then that I really grasped what had happened and the emotion hit me . Three Black September members survived and were arrested at a Munich prison , but the West German authorities decided to release them the following month in exchange for the hostages of hijacked Lufthansa Flight 615 Two of the released Black September members were later killed , as were others who organized the Munich Massacre , by Israeli 's Mossad during Operation Wrath of God
