Compilation of pilots explaining how the FlyDubai pilot was able to open the '9/11 style' door to prevent the hijacking from the Omani copilot: "The captain was able to get back to the door. It's easy to open the door in a 737 from the inside. You simply have... to turn a knob." "It was open from the inside, which I have a feeling might be the case. If I was being attacked in the left seat, you can actually reach back and with your right arm reach the door and open it from the inside. Kind of push it open, without leaving your seat." I dunno man, I think I'm going to listen to podcasters with no aviation experience instead.show more

No idea why any of this matters. A stabbed man did what he had to to save ppl. That's all that matters. Id be happy if the process was easy for him. I don't want a bleeding man doing complex step to save people. The easier the better

This is strange, though. The account matching that description comes from a passenger identified as Tal in a Jerusalem Post interview (a similar description has circulated in other coverage). He said the cockpit was empty during the descent, the two additional pilots who were traveling as passengers remained in the cabin, and they appeared frozen. He shouted at them and then had to shake them before one moved forward and took the controls; the second took longer to recover from the shock.

Yes for sure while being stabbed wink wink 😜

Where was all the cabin crew while this was happening? They do not appear in any of the videos.

Yes the podcasters are not paid Mossad agents, better listen to them

A Jordanian pilot who flies Boeings—and this specific model in particular—explains in detail that it is impossible to open the door from the inside...

Really? The pilots I’ve seen all express skepticism.

In a plane that is ina a nose dive both pilots, if not strapped in, would anyway be pressed against the door. Both were not strapped in as per reports. Even then, I believe the pilot turned the knob. Because he also sent out two codes in quick succession.

The first one is Steve he’s a clown tbh rest of them are sensible

Wait, you think that shit happened? Lol

One eyewitness said the captain opened the cockpit door and was pushing the first officer out as he was getting stabbed. Incredible

These two dumbheads are not considering the element of surprise and the sudden blow when somebody is trying to kill you with an axe

The pilot who was attacked himself said he was on the floor and reached up to unlock the door

Funny the only people that push this as true have Israeli flags and stars in there bio.

You would need six feet long arms if you were sitting in the captains seat to reach back and open the door.

🔥

I need to have a hard dick to be able to do that. You can’t buy courage and you don’t have it either.
