Brave Indian Captain Smit Machchhar🇮🇳, despite reportedly being stabbed by the Omani co-pilot and being seriously injured and covered in blood, managed to get the cockpit door opened, allowing passengers and crew to intervene. Off duty pilots onboard then reportedly helped take control of the aircraft and bring everyone... to safety. Flydubai FZ1073 was carrying around 174 passengers, including 27 children, with most reportedly Israeli. During the incident, the aircraft plunged nearly 14,000 feet in less than a minute before eventually landing safely in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has described it as an attempted “jihadist terror attack”, although the exact motive remains under investigation. Saudi Arabia allowed the emergency landing, but reportedly refused Israel’s request to send Israeli military aircraft to collect its passengers. What happened inside that cockpit could have ended very differently. The courage shown by the Indian captain, crew, passengers and off duty pilots deserves recognition.show more

Here is what we know so far about Flydubai Flight FZ1073 from Dubai to Israel: 1- The plane was carrying Israelis. No reports say whether they were ordinary Israeli citizens or Israeli army personnel vacationing in the UAE. Israeli army personnel have previously posted about vacations in the UAE following their service in Gaza (photo 1) 2- The Flydubai pilot was an Indian Hindu named Smit Machchhar. Initial Hebrew media reports described him as Emirati citizen. 3- The co-pilot is Omani. He allegedly stabbed the pilot and attempted to dive and crash the plane with Israeli passengers, resulting in a fight between the 2 pilots. Smit eventually managed to unlock the cockpit door. 4- Passengers intervened and subdued the Omani co-pilot, while additional pilots aboard the flight took control of the plane and landed it safely at Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia. 5- The Israeli passengers received care from a Saudi crew after landing in Saudi Arabia. 6- The Emirati based Indian pilot, Smit Machchhar, was hospitalized after suffering stab wounds, but his condition has not been officially disclosed. The Omani co-pilot was arrested, and Saudi authorities are interrogating him. Mossad is reportedly involved in the broader investigation, but there is no confirmation that Mossad interrogated him in Saudi Arabia. (Hebrew media) 7- Israeli media initially reported that El Al was planning to evacuate the Israeli passengers from Saudi Arabia to Israel, which would have marked the first overt El Al flight between the 2 countries. However, reportedly Flydubai later sent a replacement aircraft that evacuated the Israeli passengers from Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, directly to Israel.

The stories about the Flydubai flight keep changing. First, it was reported that the co-pilot was Ukrainian and the main pilot was Russian. Now, they’re being reported as Omani and Emirati. First, the story was that the co-pilot was attempting to commit suicide and that the pilot stopped him. Now, it’s being reported that the co-pilot stabbed the other pilot and that passengers stopped him. The tail of the aircraft was also damaged due to the descent. Saudi forces have reportedly arrested the suspect. Saudi Arabia denied the Israeli government’s request to send a military aircraft to airlift Israeli citizens stranded in Tabuk after Flydubai Flight #FZ1073. Flydubai is now sending a recovery flight to bring them back to Dubai.

WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE INCIDENT ON BOARD THE DUBAI-TEL AVIV FLIGHT Israel is treating the incident on the flydubai flight FZ 1073 from Dubai to Tel Aviv as a "terror incident." According to Israeli officials, shortly after entering Jordanian airspace, the Omani co-pilot stabbed the Emirati pilot and attempted to take control of the plane by force. The pilots are not from Russia and Ukraine, as initially believed. During the altercation, the pilot transmitted a general emergency signal and then another emergency signal that indicated possible hijacking, as the aircraft was diverted towards Saudi Arabia and plunged 14,000 feet (approximately 4,200 meters) in a single minute, before landing at Tabuk Airport in northwestern Saudi Arabia. Israeli passengers and the flight crew who heard the altercation coming from the cockpit managed to subdue the co-pilot, whose intent remains unknown at this stage. It is unclear what the pilot was attempting—whether to hijack the plane to Israel, crash it into the ground, or carry out a 9/11-style attack. What is clear is that he wanted to hijack the plane and that a major disaster was averted, an Israeli official said. The 150 Israeli passengers are currently waiting to be shuttled to Israel, as flydubai says it has sent an alternative plane. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz cancelled a visit to southern Israel and are holding security discussions.

🇦🇪🇴🇲🇮🇱 A FlyDubai flight to Tel Aviv was nearly turned into a weapon. The passengers just landed safely. Here is what happened. Malcolm Nance, fmr. U.S. Navy terrorism expert who ran the Navy's first terrorism survival school, breaks it down: The Omani co-pilot stabbed the captain in the abdomen, took control, and nose-dived the aircraft from 30,000 feet at nearly 600 knots, so violent that the rudder tore completely off the plane. Whoever then managed to land that aircraft with no rudder, using only engines and flaps to stabilize, almost certainly had serious aviation experience, possibly an IDF pilot or military veteran among the passengers. Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz were immediately briefed, fighter jets were scrambled, and Israel declared it "a very serious disaster that was averted." "This man came aboard with hostile intent. He wanted to turn that aircraft into a weapons system." The cockpit door opened only because the co-pilot failed to hit deny lock during a knife fight, allowing passengers to storm in and subdue him. An aircraft with no rudder, a stabbed captain, a terrorist co-pilot, and passengers storming the cockpit somehow landed safely in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. It could have been so much worse...

Flydubai flight FZ1073 from Dubai to Tel Aviv suddenly lost around 14,000 feet in less than 30 seconds, according to flight-tracking data. The Boeing 737 MAX 8 first transmitted the 7700 emergency code and then briefly switched to 7500, the code used for unlawful interference. Israeli fighter jets were scrambled and the aircraft diverted to Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, where it landed safely. The initial fear was a possible hijacking, but Israeli officials later said the incident was not a hijacking. Reports indicate that the two pilots were involved in a physical confrontation inside the cockpit, with passengers reporting screams and one pilot apparently injured. What remains clear is that this was an extremely serious aviation incident. The aircraft transmitted 7700, then 7500, then 7700 again, before safely landing in Saudi Arabia. The biggest unanswered questions are what triggered the cockpit confrontation, who transmitted the 7500 code, and whether the rapid descent was deliberate. Those details will depend on the ongoing investigation. #Israel #uae #dubai #boeing737 #hijack #telaviv
