Israeli Plane Hijack Thwarted by pilot and passengers.

It was the co pilot who attacked and stabbed another pilot in an attempt to hojack and crash the plane with 170 passengers bound for Israel.

I love how the Apple News whitewashed this headline. "Just 2 pilots scrapping it out in the cockpit " not an ATTEMPTED TERRORIST ATTACK by an Oman national jihad! SMH

Yeah it appears this is nefarious on every level and not a personal fight issue.

Just bizarre! I do think it was definitely in the vein of a terrorist attack. Not a captain and first officer “ disagreement’.

Yikes. I don't think I ever want to fly in the Middle East

I love the idea of visiting Israel, but I don't think I can ever do it because of these kind of things.

MissAmericanPie : I just watched the newscast about this. Talk about scary. The passenger who took the co-pilot down is a hero.

You got that right! I just saw a video from a passenger…the horror of those moments when you realize someone has, or might, commandeer your air craft!
