Today, a second September 11 was possibly averted by a hair's breadth. On the flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv in the morning, passengers heard screams, then saw blood under the cockpit door. The co-pilot allegedly attacked the captain with a pocket knife to take control. The Israeli government suspects a planned terrorist attack. The Boeing of the airline Flydubai fell from about 9,000 meters in a plunge - 4,500 meters in one minute. A code for a hijacking was sent out from the cabin. A crew member and passengers tackled the violent man and subdued him. The landing was safely accomplished. The suspect co-pilot is said to be from Oman and has only been with the airline for a few months. According to the rules, he should not have been allowed in the cockpit on this route: Oman has no diplomatic relations with Israel. A senior official told Israeli Channel 12 that someone had tried to "carry out an attack like on September 11 – either to hijack the plane or to bring it down." The plane did not land in Tel Aviv, but heavily damaged in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. The fact that the 174 passengers reached the ground alive is also due to the people on board who had the unimaginable courage to rush at an armed man in the midst of the descent. (translated)
