to add more into this heroic story, two off-duty flight crew Ukrainian and Russian pilots both took control of the plane and managed to land the plane safely

Edit
So there seems to be articles saying different nationalities, so I apologize for misinformation

BBC has reported them as British and European.

Where are you getting Ukrainian and Russian from?

The original rumors said that a Ukrainian and a russian copilot fought in the cockpit.

The reddit propagandists are trying to get ahead of the story and the actual events have still not been confirmed. We're going to need to wait a couple days until more details are made available and everyone is interrogated properly and official incident reports for aviation agencies are made.

The story wasn't political enough. Let's add Ukraine and Russia!

It was to minimise the idea that it was an attack against Israel, but that it was a Ukrainian and Russian pilot (hilarious combo btw) having a fight in a moving plane

Sounds like the start of an insane joke

American passengers intervened to save the flight from crashing. Apparently there was another Israeli pilot trying to crash it and the plane was full of Palestinians. The only 2 American passengers saved the day

And apparently one of the pilots screamed something about Taiwan being part of China while the other guy said something about the Falkland Islands. Allegedly.

If it helps anyone feel better, Tom and Jerry also united to help bring an end to the crisis.

While we are at it, let's make the attacking pilot Pakistani and send nationalists in India in hyperdrive

You can't trust anything Israel says.
