A disturbing revelation has emerged in the Flydubai FZ1073 case. The co-pilot, Hamam Al-Hammami, allegedly told Saudi investigators he wanted to deliberately crash the Tel Aviv-bound aircraft and was not afraid of death. Hammami had previously attracted official attention over extremist website activity and was removed from flying duties at Oman Air. In this Firstpost Live video, we tell you how investigators are now examining his radicalisation, social media history, possible terror links and how he returned to the cockpit. The flight plunged more than 15,000 feet before passengers and crew subdued him and the plane landed safely in Saudi Arabia. Josh Barnes tells you more.
