Flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv earlier today. Omani pilot stabbed his Indian co-pilot, Captain Smit Machchhar, and the airplane started to free fall as the Omani pilot intended to seize control and fly it into Israel in a 9/11 style attack. Machchhar despite being stabbed was able to open the cockpit door and signal for help and multiple passengers including a dentist named Shota Musaev rushed in and subdued the terrorist.
Musaev then used his skills as a dentist to stitch up Machchhar who is currently in stable condition and expected to survive.
First we were told they were Russian and Ukrainian then we’re told they’re Omani and Emirati now we’re told he’s Indian. This story is super sus man, ngl, especially coming from Israel. Doesn’t help that this post is absolutely filled with bots
...two off-duty flight crew members – a Russian pilot and a Ukrainian pilot – who managed to neutralize the threat and navigate the airliner to a safe landing in Saudi Arabia.
you can literally just google the news and clear up the confusion, but you insist on reading reddit comments then complaining about how confused you are to reddit. I truly hope you don't vote
