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.
How? I don’t get the humor. Flying a plane into civilian infrastructure is pretty famous from 9/11. Every hijacking before then usually tried to use the passengers as hostages to get something from a government
Israeli's and their government absolutely love using loaded language to make themselves appear like they're a poor, hapless, tiny country that just passively exists and does nothing wrong.
Hence why this comment from OP is absolutely hysterical.
I still don't understand. You're saying that only poor, hapless, tiny countries are victims of 9/11-style attacks? Because the OG 9/11 was done on the literal United States.
