An Israeli passenger has recounted how he and others subdued an attacker on a Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv. The co-pilot allegedly stabbed the captain and tried to crash the plane, Israeli officials said. “I ran to the cockpit and the plane dived,” passenger Yaniv Hayun said, describing the moments of fear and chaos. Passengers pulled the attacker out of the cockpit, while other pilots took control of the aircraft. The flight was eventually diverted and landed safely in Saudi Arabia. --- Flydubai | FZ1073 | Yaniv Hayun | Dubai To Tel Aviv | Cockpit Incident | Co Pilot Attack | Flight Emergency | Saudi Arabia | Passenger Testimony | Aviation Security | Emergency Landing | Israel | Flydubai Flight #flydubai #aviation #flightemergency #dubai #telaviv #saudiarabia #tabuk #israel #aviationnews #emergencylanding #terroristattack #aviationsafety #firstpost Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
