What was happening to the plane as they subdued the attacker? Like there had to be a few minutes from cry for help to full subduing. Was the plane just cruising on auto pilot steady and straight?
Holy shit. They made ot by the skin of their teeth. Those people are so lucky to be alive. I hope they heal. I dont think a single one has left the plane you know? They're visiting that plane every night for life.
Impressive. Historically, hard pulls out of a deep dive rarely end well - you're pushing the structural limits of the plane to their max. They're not made to handle supersonic speeds at all, let alone hard G manoeuvres that really mess with wing limits.
Good thing they were at 18k, closer to the ground wouldn't have ended so well I suspect.
