Ataque en un vuelo hacia Israel: video impactante de pasajeros que se abalanzan sobre el piloto "que intenta estrellar el avión" | BBC News

BBC News informa sobre un incidente a bordo de un vuelo de pasajeros de Flydubai que viajaba de Dubái (EAU) a Israel, descrito como un posible intento de secuestro en pleno vuelo. Según el reportaje, un piloto apuñaló al otro, las señales de socorro activaron una alerta de seguridad y Israel envió cazas para interceptar el avión; tras perder el control de vuelo, el aparato descendió unos 15.000 pies y aterrizó de emergencia en Arabia Saudita, donde se detuvo a un piloto.

Dramatic images filmed on board a passenger plane flying from UAE to Israel capture the moments when passengers stormed the cockpit after one pilot stabbed the other in an apparent mid-air hijack attempt. Distress signals from the plane triggered a major security alert, with Israel scrambling fighter jets to intercept the aircraft. The plane, flying from Dubai to Israel, plunged around 15,000 feet, as flight control was lost. Passengers described how one of the Flydubai pilots had stabbed his co-pilot and appeared to be intending to crash the plane. Passengers managed to break into the cockpit with one of the crew members and subdued the attacker. Other pilots on board then took control of the flight which made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia where a pilot was arrested. Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the pilot who was stabbed as a hero. The defence minister said it was an act of "jihadist terrorism".
