Bravery of captain and passengers on FlyDubai flight prevents tragedy | DW News

An investigation is underway after a co-pilot allegedly attacked the captain of a Flydubai passenger jet en route from Dubai to Tel Aviv carrying more than 170 people. Israeli officials now say they believe the suspect had been radicalized and may have been intending to carry out a suicide attack. Passengers and crew intervened, preventing what some Israeli officials have described as a near catastrophe.
