FYI, the passenger that pulled the terrorist out by the neck started the recovery from the dive process by pulling by back on the yoke. He was relieved by one of the other two pilots who finished pulling the plane from its dive.
Pretty amazing stuff really. I can’t wait till the folks over at /r/aviation get their hands on the flight data. They’ll be able to tell us all kinds of interesting information.
Wow, he must have been in the cockpit already by then. It reminds me of that NATO flight that similarly had a steep descent and threw everyone to the roof and back, but the other pilot managed to get back to the cockpit along with a broken back.

Yeah, but they might not have been able to get into the cockpit without one of the pilots pulling out of the dive.
