Flydubai | How An Israeli Passenger Helped Save A Flydubai Jet After A 16,000-Ft Plunge
An Israeli passenger recalls the terrifying moments aboard Flydubai Flight FZ 1073 after the aircraft suddenly plunged thousands of feet. As the Indian captain was attacked inside the cockpit, passenger Yaniv Hayoun rushed in, overpowered the attacker and briefly took control of the aircraft before trained crew members took over and landed safely in Saudi Arabia. Hayoun later met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, still wearing the blood-stained shirt from the ordeal.
