Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We've got a question for our American mamas. Dear mamas,
- 0:03Speaker 1: can you imagine the bravery of the people who saved
- 0:06Speaker 1: the fly Dubai plane? Well, let's ask our American mamas.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Mama, mama, mama. Mama told me not to come.
- 0:18Speaker 1: She said that ain't the way to have fun, no.
- 0:22Speaker 1: And joining us now, our American mama, Terry Netterville. This
- 0:25Speaker 1: was an amazing story. It was first reported as just
- 0:32Speaker 1: an altercation between the pilots. The pilots got in a fight.
- 0:36Speaker 2: No.
- 0:37Speaker 1: No. This was a terrorist attack. This guy was a
- 0:40Speaker 1: Muslim extremist trying to kill as many people flying to
- 0:43Speaker 1: Tel Aviv as he could, including himself.
- 0:47Speaker 2: Right.
- 0:47Speaker 1: But there was a tremendous amount of heroism on that
- 0:51Speaker 1: plane to stop it, to save all those lives.
- 0:53Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, first of all, the fact that the pilot,
- 0:59Speaker 2: for those who don't know the story, the co-pilot, the terrorist,
- 1:03Speaker 2: started stabbing the pilot.
- 1:06Speaker 1: Screaming, Allahu Akbar.
- 1:07Speaker 2: Yes. Yes. And there was blood, he was stabbed all
- 1:11Speaker 2: over the place, and there was blood everywhere apparently in
- 1:13Speaker 2: the cockpit. But the bravery of that pilot to reach
- 1:18Speaker 2: to the door, the cockpit door, open it up and
- 1:21Speaker 2: yell for help.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Because since 9-11, there's a lock on the cockpit doors
- 1:26Speaker 1: now to prevent hijackers from getting into the cockpit. That
- 1:29Speaker 1: can only be opened from the inside. So if that
- 1:32Speaker 1: co-pilot hadn't opened that button, They would not have been
- 1:36Speaker 1: able to get through the door, and they would not
- 1:37Speaker 1: have been able to stay in the plane. The plane
- 1:38Speaker 1: was already in.
- 1:39Speaker 2: A steep dive. So the pilot got to the button.
- 1:40Speaker 2: The pilot. Okay.
- 1:42Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess. Because it was the co-pilot who stabbed.
- 1:45Speaker 1: It was the pilot who got to the button. The
- 1:47Speaker 1: man from India, Singh.
- 1:49Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:50Speaker 1: And he was able to open the door.
- 1:52Speaker 2: And he yelled for help. Yeah. And then, y'all, this
- 1:55Speaker 2: is crazy, but. Some guy, I think they said he
- 1:58Speaker 2: was a dentist. A dentist. They all rushed to the front,
- 2:01Speaker 2: but he ran to the front, and because he saw
- 2:03Speaker 2: on TV, on some of these shows, that you pull
- 2:06Speaker 2: up on, you throttle, you pull the throttle up, is
- 2:08Speaker 2: that what it's called?
- 2:09Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:09Speaker 2: You pull it up. He went in there, and he
- 2:11Speaker 2: pulled with all of his might, because this was a nosedive.
- 2:14Speaker 1: It was.
- 2:14Speaker 2: I cannot remember how many feet they went in the
- 2:16Speaker 2: less than a minute, but it was significant.
- 2:18Speaker 1: They were going more than 100 miles per hour. faster
- 2:22Speaker 1: than the plane's frame is designed to allow. It was
- 2:26Speaker 1: going so fast, the rudder ripped off the tail of
- 2:30Speaker 1: the plane. It is a miracle that plane did not
- 2:32Speaker 1: disintegrate in the air.
- 2:33Speaker 2: Oh, this is such a God story. Yeah. So the
- 2:35Speaker 2: guy who has no training, only saw this on TV,
- 2:39Speaker 2: pulls the plane up. Well, there happened to be a
- 2:41Speaker 2: British pilot on the plane who was also going to
- 2:45Speaker 2: Tel Aviv. He rushed up there and was able to
- 2:48Speaker 2: take over and land the plane.
- 2:50Speaker 1: Yeah. Two other pilots were actually on the plane. They
- 2:52Speaker 1: were just dead seating. They were just flying to the
- 2:55Speaker 1: next spot.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Right.
- 2:56Speaker 1: They happened to be there, and they were able to
- 2:58Speaker 1: save that plane.
- 2:59Speaker 2: And the pilot who was stabbed lost consciousness, but they
- 3:03Speaker 2: were able to get him to a hospital, and he's
- 3:07Speaker 2: in stable condition.
- 3:07Speaker 1: There was a dentist, that dentist, he had a tourniquet.
- 3:12Speaker 1: He was able to stop some of the bleeding, and
- 3:15Speaker 1: the officials on the ground said, you saved this pilot's life.
- 3:19Speaker 2: I just, you know, when I heard this story, I
- 3:21Speaker 2: could not help but, first of all, thank God. I said,
- 3:25Speaker 2: thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. That is the only
- 3:28Speaker 2: reason that this story ended the way that it did,
- 3:31Speaker 2: being able to give these people the fortitude to know
- 3:34Speaker 2: what to do in that time.
- 3:35Speaker 1: And the courage to do it.
- 3:36Speaker 2: Absolutely.
- 3:37Speaker 1: They tied up the attacker with headphone wires.
- 3:40Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, I'm surprised that he made it out alive, actually.
- 3:45Speaker 2: I'm surprised. It's pretty amazing. But... Then I thought about
- 3:49Speaker 2: those people. They'll never take another day on this earth
- 3:51Speaker 2: for granted. Then I thought about all of the family members.
- 3:54Speaker 2: So grateful that they have their loved ones because we've
- 3:57Speaker 2: seen where it doesn't end that way. So then I
- 4:00Speaker 2: started thinking all day. I've been thinking about it yesterday.
- 4:02Speaker 2: I was thinking, what about, okay, so this guy, this terrorist,
- 4:07Speaker 2: he trained to become a pilot. He went through the program,
- 4:11Speaker 2: met all of these pilots he was going to be
- 4:12Speaker 2: flying with, knowing in his mind that he had an
- 4:15Speaker 2: agenda at the end of this. So how are we
- 4:20Speaker 2: able to keep these people away from the cockpit? How
- 4:24Speaker 2: do you know the ones who have a plan to
- 4:27Speaker 2: terminate souls for political purposes?
- 4:30Speaker 1: Well, and one of the things that was interesting is
- 4:32Speaker 1: about this co-pilot who did the attacking. Apparently, he got
- 4:37Speaker 1: to a point to where he refused to shake hands
- 4:39Speaker 1: with women.
- 4:40Speaker 2: Oh.
- 4:41Speaker 1: And that's one of the things going around.
- 4:43Speaker 2: That's a telltale sign.
- 4:43Speaker 1: That was a sign. They were like, he was acting weird.
- 4:45Speaker 1: He refused to shake hands with women.
- 4:47Speaker 2: And how did he get the knife on the plane?
- 4:49Speaker 1: There's another good question.
- 4:51Speaker 2: How?
- 4:51Speaker 1: How did he?
- 4:52Speaker 2: Was there an inside job? Was there somebody on the inside?
- 4:55Speaker 1: Or they just didn't check the pilots on fly Dubai?
- 4:59Speaker 1: How did he get? How? Yeah, I don't know.
- 5:01Speaker 2: And then I think President Benjamin Netanyahu.
- 5:06Speaker 1: Yeah, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
- 5:07Speaker 2: Yes, that's right. I think. He came on there, you know,
- 5:10Speaker 2: really proclaiming what heroes these people were.
- 5:12Speaker 1: Right.
- 5:13Speaker 2: And I know that he has to be thinking like
- 5:16Speaker 2: all of us. Like, he's going to have to be
- 5:18Speaker 2: very aware of what pilots are flying in and out
- 5:21Speaker 2: of Israel.
- 5:22Speaker 1: Right. And especially since the Abraham Accords have opened up
- 5:25Speaker 1: Israel to flights from Dubai. That didn't used to be possible.
- 5:29Speaker 1: And now you've got another problem where some of these pilots...
- 5:32Speaker 1: Might be a terrorist.
- 5:33Speaker 2: Didn't they used to have marshals on each plane? In
- 5:36Speaker 2: the U.S.
- 5:36Speaker 1: Those were U.S.
- 5:37Speaker 2: Marshals. And should this be opened up to Israel's CIA
- 5:41Speaker 2: if they have one of those or FBI?
- 5:42Speaker 1: Mossad.
- 5:43Speaker 2: Okay. They should look into everybody.
- 5:45Speaker 1: Yeah, Mossad's pretty busy, but of all the intelligence agencies
- 5:49Speaker 1: all over the planet, they are also the most capable.
- 5:53Speaker 1: It's very interesting.
- 5:53Speaker 2: Yeah.
