Bloody Tragedy Aboard FlyDubai: Pilot Attempted to Crash the Aircraft (Video)

A miracle prevented one of the most horrific disasters in global aviation history aboard a Boeing 737 liner operated by FlyDubai (flight FZ1073 / FDB1549) en route from Dubai to Tel Aviv. It turned out that during the flight, a bloody clash occurred in the cockpit, where the co-pilot attacked the captain with a knife, sharply turned the aircraft's control yoke downwards, and attempted to plunge (dive) the aircraft into the ground along with the passengers.

As the liner moved at a speed of 573 km/h and plunged a staggering 4.5 kilometers in just 29 seconds, screams and panic erupted inside the cabin. Hearing the shouts from the cockpit, flight attendants and brave Israeli passengers immediately broke through the door, protected the bloodied captain, and forcibly neutralized the attacker who had attempted to carry out a terrorist act. The liner, carrying 180 people whose lives were saved, made an emergency landing at Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia.

Aviation security and international forensic expertise: What conclusions are drawn from the in-flight terrorist attack?

Conclusions from aviation experts, military analysts, and security services:

• «Repetition of the German tragedy (Germanwings) prevented»: In 2015, mentally unstable pilot Andreas Lubitz crashed a plane into a mountain, killing 149 people; this time, the co-pilot intended to execute a similar scenario: stabbing the captain to incapacitate him and steering the liner into the ground; however, the timely opening of the cockpit and the bravery of the passengers despite the threat of death saved the lives of 180 people;

• «How did the pilots smuggle a knife on board?»: This event is a massive shock and warning for international civil aviation; despite crew members undergoing strict security checks, major investigations are bound to begin within UAE airport security systems regarding how a cold weapon was brought into the cockpit;

• Diplomacy of rescuing Israelis on Saudi soil: Despite complex political relations, Saudi Arabia opened its airspace and safely accepted the aircraft; currently, Saudi special services are holding the criminal in custody and conducting an investigation, while the Israeli side is holding negotiations to repatriate its citizens.
