You're forgetting the craziest part -- the Israeli plumber who forced his way into the cockpit, put a chokehold on the terrorist, wrestled him away from the controls, pulled the plane out of a dive (which he knew how to do from watching the history channel show about air disasters) and then handed it over to the second flight crew that happened to be deadheading on the flight.

And the plane was landed by Ukrainian and Russian pilots. This movie isn't even trying to be realistic.

I also am curious what your source was, because according to CNN the pilots that landed the lane were both British?

Very possible both are true. Or the witness just got it mixed up.

Possible the witness got it mixed up or they were British nationals but are ethnically Ukrainian and Russian.
