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.show more

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.

“The pilot, he was such a hero.” Israeli journalist Neria Kraus describes the terrifying fight aboard the Israel-bound Flydubai flight, saying the wounded pilot managed to open the cockpit door while fighting off the co-pilot who was stabbing him. The move gave passengers a chance to rush in, overpower the attacker, and eventually tie him up with headphone wires as other pilots take control of the aircraft. |America Reports

NEW: The pilot who was stabbed on the FlyDubai flight by his terrorist co-pilot was able to open the release on the cockpit door as he lay covered in blood on the floor. The quick thinking allowed the Israeli passengers to storm the cockpit and subdue the terrorist, according to Reuters. An Israeli official identified the co-pilot as an Omani national. A second set of pilots on board took over and landed the plane. The pilots were due to replace the first pair after landing. According to flight data, the plane "went into a spin" and plunged 14,000 feet in just 30 seconds. 170 Israelis were on board. They are now back at the Tel Aviv airport. Praise God.

Israeli hero aboard nearly-hijacked FlyDubai flight FZ 1073: Yaniv Hayoun Hayoun has no background in security. But when he realized there was an attempted hijacking, he knew he had to do something. He ran to the cockpit and physically fought with the co-pilot, who had stabbed the pilot and was attempting to crash the plane. Hayoun put the co-pilot in a chokehold and dragged. him out of the cockpit. Others came over to help restrain him. Hayoun then went back into the cockpit and pulled back on the yoke to pull the plane out of its nosedive. The plane had dropped 17,000+ feet in under two minutes. An off-duty pilot then entered the cockpit and took over the controls, and Haroun went back out to help guard the co-pilot.

🇦🇪🇴🇲🇮🇱 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...

A PILOT ALLEGEDLY TRIED TO KILL THE CAPTAIN MID-FLIGHT. Flight FZ1073 was headed from Dubai to Tel Aviv. One passenger told Fox News the co-pilot stabbed the captain, and the captain collapsed onto the controls. The plane dropped from 33,000 feet to 17,000, circled erratically, and Israel had to scramble fighter jets because it looked like a hijacking. Passengers jumped in, and it sounds like other pilots on board helped get that plane down safely in Saudi Arabia. Those people are heroes. Now we need answers fast. Who was this co-pilot, and why was he in that cockpit? A plane full of people bound for Israel almost went down, and nobody should be shrugging this off.
