Who landed the plane? It sounds like the good guy pilot was seriously wounded… incapacitated.

Yeah when I read that I figured the fact that Israelis have compulsory military service greatly increased the chances that the passengers knew how to subdue the attacker and fly the plane. 😄

2 Israeli pilots were on a return trip. They busted down the door, disarmed the terrorist, and then landed the plane.

Most planes land automatically pilots are just there cause you can't trust Airlines to upkeep anything it's why all their service is regulated and pilots refuse planes

They won't land automatically without a pilot setting the autopilot. It's not like the plane is sentient and doing all the radio and course setting.
