New details emerge about the FlyDubai pilot attacked by the co-pilot with an emergency axe. The flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv lost altitude after two and a half hours, leading passengers to subdue the attacker. The pilot, Smit Machchhar, described the struggle in the cockpit and was later hospitalized but is in stable condition. The attacker, identified as Hamam al-Hammami, had previously been removed from flight training due to radical views. Investigations are ongoing to determine the motives behind the incident, which may be linked to terrorism. Passengers played a crucial role in regaining control of the aircraft, preventing a potential disaster.
