An Israeli passenger assisted in restraining a co-pilot following an attack on the captain aboard a flydubai flight. The passenger revealed he utilized techniques learned from watching an air-crash-focused television program to help stabilize the aircraft, which had begun a nose dive. He was able to apply what he saw on the show to potentially avert a crash. Details regarding the stabbing incident and the circumstances surrounding the co-pilot’s actions are still under investigation. Authorities are examining the motivation behind the attack. The quick thinking of the passenger, combined with the efforts of other crew members, is believed to have prevented a far more serious outcome on the flydubai aircraft.
