Det lyder som en muslim, der ville gentage 9/11 . Heldigvis fik flyets andre ansatte standset ham 🙂

An Israel-bound passenger plane captain was reportedly stabbed several times by the jet’s co-pilot in the cockpit — and the terrifying scenes caused the aircraft to plunge 18,000 feet in minutes, sparking fears of a “terrorist attack in mid-air.”
The jet, which departed Dubai for Tel Aviv just before 7 a.m., was cruising at around 34,000 feet before violence broke out in the cockpit around two-and-a-half hours into the flight, Israel’s Channel 12 reported.
The co-pilot tried to take control of the Boeing 737 Max 8 plane, which was carrying 174 passengers including 27 children, and attacked the captain several times, the outlet reported.
“We were either going to crash or be murdered,” one passenger told I24 News.
“It was like a terrorist attack in mid-air.”
Israeli officials have announced a terrorism investigation.
“One pilot stabbed the other and tried to do 9/11,” an official said, according to Channel 12.
“A very serious disaster was averted,” they said, fearing a repeat of the July 1976 incident where an Air France Flight bound for Paris was hijacked.
The jet dropped from an altitude of approximately 33,000 feet to around 15,400 feet in just 12 minutes, according to FlightAware data.
Israeli fighter jets were scrambled as a precaution and the flight crew rushed to stop the aggressor. The plane made an emergency landing in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia — a civilian and military base in the kingdom.
FlyDubai — the low-cost sister carrier of Emirates airlines—operated the flight. A spokesperson confirmed an incident occurred and that the plane landed safely in Tabuk.
“Our teams are working closely with the relevant authorities,” the carrier said. “Further updates will be issued as additional confirmed details become available,” the spokesperson said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the situation is under control, with officials working to put passengers on alternative flights.
The flight left Dubai just before 7 a.m. Wednesday and the UAE has become a popular vacation destination for Israeli tourists since the countries normalized relations in 2020.
Israel has not experienced a hijacking in decades but maintains some of the strictest airport security in the world, including often invasive check-in procedures for Israel-bound flights.
Israelis were targeted in a string of hijackings and airplane attacks by Palestinian militants in the 1960s and 1970s.

Jeg læste, at Israel ville hente passagererne i et IAF transportfly. Det nægtede saudierne, så nu skal der en anden løsning til. Stakkel passagerer, skal leve med frygten en gang til!
Så skal vi igen til at høre jammer fra alle de ørkenrotter der kikke kan forstå at de er uønsket at alle lande der er har regeringer med bredt rød aftryk.
Mon ikke MSM giver Trump skylden – business as usual.
