Kudos to him, especially if he opened the door after being stabbed (some reports say pax broke into the cockpit, I have no idea, but in 30 seconds they would have had to have acted incredibly fast if so). Apparently, both a Russian and Ukrainian pilot were flying as passengers and helped stabilize/land the plane, though of course again unconfirmed to date.

Fly Dubai is a state-owned airline. They've been flying to Tel Aviv since 2023 pretty much continuously. I'm amazed at the traffic but also appreciate the thawing relations mean a lot at this time of (well, perpetual) conflict regionally.

If that is confirmed... A Russian and a Ukrainian. Strange bed-fellows there!


Well the alternative was lawn darting that plane into who knows what. They clearly didnt want to die today

2. Pilot was not killed.
1. Pilot opened the door.

Co-Pilot was a wimp.


Thank God.

The real genocide is Islam against Israel and the latter would wipe the floor with them if not for US holding them back.

all over my Twitter feed I can post some interviews with the passengers who took over control

1. Omani copilot starts to stab the Indian pilot

2. Indian pilot gets out of seat and opens the cockpit door

3. Israeli passenger Yaniv runs forward and puts copilot in chokehold and drags him out of cockpit after the copilot put the plane into steep dive and was trying to destroy the center console

4. other Fly Dubai pilots who were on the flight for training rushed forward and took control of plane

5. Other israeli passengers including a VP of Bank Leumi grabbed copilot and tied him up

6. Israeli dentist rushes forward and performs activity to stop bleeding of pilot

7 the other pilots land plane in Saudi with the tail rudder ripped off

According to Amit Segal of Israel's Channel 12 News:

Following situation assessments and passenger testimonies, Israel is treating the incident as a full-fledged terrorist attack.

It appears that the co-pilot repeatedly stabbed the captain. Once the attack began, several crew members and passengers managed to break through the cockpit door and subdue the attacker.

According to one senior official, the co-pilot is currently being questioned, and indications are mounting that he intended to take control of the plane and crash it with the passengers on board.



https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/midair-horror-flydubai-pilot-reportedly-stabbed-israeli-news-says-incident-treated


Questions that the article should have answered on this one......

1) How did the passengers and crew break through a secure door (you know the whole flight safety thing after 9/11)?

2) Who landed the plane?

I've got to think the pilot, once he was stabbed and realized what was happening did everything he could to ensure the co-pilot couldn't take over including opening the cockpit door and screaming for assistance, which fortunately occurred and this lunatic couldn't use the plane as a weapon.

The real question is what vetting is taking place to ensure Islamic lunatics can't become pilots. I'd like to know his experience and resume and how he was able to be in that position in the first place.


It was a FLY DUBAI airplane- what are the Emiratis supposed to do? only hire Mormons to fly their planes?!

I've been on that week long business trip to Israel and that tracks with my departure. I was questioned by three different agents, each one at a time and then comparing notes between rounds. The initial agent alone went through three rounds of questions with me.

I had to show hotel receipts, account for each day, and my luggage was thoroughly inspected. Flying in and out of Israel with a bag full of electronic work tools is not recommended.

On the plus side, the lead agent was an attractive female.

no such thing as an unattractive El Al employee.

that would be like discovering Bigfoot at the airport

If they diverted to Saudi Arabia, is the terrorist being interrogated by the Saudis or Israelis? Would it depend on whose airspace they were in when the attempted hijacking took place? Would the Saudis throw up any extradition obstacles?

Broheim. I know you're full on Israel but... if we're going to start talking pretty flight attendants - Emirates is at the head of the class. Etihad is an also ran.



And of course Singapore is on the podium

I can't speak for him, but i fly on domestic American airlines and yes... either they are old enough to be my mother, or they are ugly, or they are fat, or a combination of the 3.

In my 250+ flights over the last 3 years, I think I've only seen 4 attractive sky waitresses and they were all on regional airlines.

I would be curious when the headlines were pulled for this tweet. If it was right after the event, they likely didn't know for certain it involved a stabbing but are rushing to get something out. If you go to those sites now, they are clear in saying it was a stabbing on their latest updates.

There are a number of things to get upset about with the media, but very initial reports on an event like this aren't one of them given the emerging details.
Horse*****..these are the same people that reported the CIA carried Trump offstage in Butler, PA because he fell down....

Wow, what a great job by those onboard to get into the cockpit and subdue the terrorist...

If that plane wasn't on autopilot, have a hard time envisioning them dragging him out of the right seat with no one at the controls, unless someone had climbed into the left seat. Scary to think about.

If it was on autopilot, I doubt it would have dropped 14K feet in 30 sec...

I was listening to Fox Business on Sirius Channel 114 a couple of hours ago, and the announcer (don't know who it was), said the Captain pushed a button in the cockpit that unlocked the door.

Kinda hoping Southlake is reading this thread to get his input.

Sirius 114 is Fox News...

I generally listen to Sirius 124 POTUS...although Dan Abrams is a severe d-bag.

Yeah wasn't sure it was in the dive when they pulled him out. Those kind of forces would make it hard to move around in the cockpit.

Anyone have video of the pilots landing the plane in Saudi Arabia? Couldn't have been easy with the missing / damaged rudder ?

Safe travels for him, but it's still overall a quite safe place. And their travel screening is impeccable domestically, all stuff TSA couldn't begin to draw out in crayons.

I do question why the guy who was the hero kept the blood soaked shirt on, but whatever. It's the blood of the pilot who was stabbed I think, not the Omani jihadist. Just get another shirt, man. Unfortunate the Saudis get to interview him first, though I'd prefer they give him the Khashogi treatment, I guess he will be extradited to UAE fairly quickly where Mossad will get to 'participate' in the questioning. His finances are likely well understood already, as is his residence in Dubai.

I thought I saw a video yesterday looking around the Arab News and Saudi Gazette feeds on X but all I see right now is this pic of the plane after it was on the ground with the rudder missing.
