The lesson of Flydubai? Don't mess with Zionists

A commentary piece on the Flydubai emergency centers on events aboard flight FZ1073 from Dubai International to Ben-Gurion in Tel Aviv, and on what the author says passengers felt during the immediate aftermath. It notes that an Omani pilot stabbed another pilot, believed to be with a knife or axe, causing the aircraft to fall about 17,000 feet in under two minutes before it was diverted to Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia. The article says Israel suspects a “jihadist terror attack,” while Flydubai warns against “premature speculation.” It also highlights Captain Smit Machchhar, an Indian national, who opened the cockpit door and helped enable passengers to intervene. The piece includes mentions of Yaniv Hayoun physically restraining the attacker and taking control.
