Off-duty pilots prevent alleged terror hijacking
A co-pilot on a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv allegedly stabbed the pilot and sent the aircraft into a nosedive, plummeting 14,000ft in 30 seconds before passengers and crew restrained him. Two off-duty pilots aboard the flight managed to stop the descent and make an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia. Israeli authorities have arrested the alleged hijacker and are treating the incident as a terror attack.
