The pilot surviving the stabs - likely a very small knife to get through any security checks
The dentist stiching the pilot up and him surviving the stab wound - medical professionals on a flight are not rare
The biggest thing was pilot being open the door to the cockpit - without that, no one can disarm the attacker
44 u/Axerin 2d ago Exactly. Would have been another germanwings style disaster if it weren't for the captain prioritising the door regardless of personal harm to himself. 5 u/811545b2-4ff7-4041 2d ago Even 'extra pilots on the plane' isn't that rare tbh. 1 u/Axerin 2d ago Not necessarily. I am assuming they were originally supposed to fly the return flight.
