  Speaker 1: I think it's an amazing. So a plumber never flew
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: a plane. Strong guy. Lift him up, throw him back.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: The crowd was was they knew they were going to
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: die shortly because the G-forces, but they were.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Able to hold him because he was going crazy and
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: he was crazy. And this plumber, never having flown a plane,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: had the sense to lift a stick.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Who would have?
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: And, you know, it's not like planes are different today.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: You used to have a little steering wheel.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: Today, they fly differently.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: And when I asked why he did that, he said
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: he watches that show, Air Disasters. You know the show?
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: It's that crazy show. I never want to watch it
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: because I watch it. I don't like watching it because
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: bad things happen. But he said he watches it a lot.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: And he learned from watching that show sort of how
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: to fly. I mean, you tell me. This is the
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: craziest thing. And then shortly thereafter, the pilots, you know,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: were there in case they have emergency pilots on these planes,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: and the security guys, they were in the back of
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: the plane.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: They came up.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: They took over the plane. I think it's the most
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: amazing story. I think it's the most amazing story. Jeff,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: that's true. And he happened to be a Jewish plumber.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Jeff is very proud of him.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: He was a Jewish.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Plumber, Jeff.
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: Ladies and gentlemen, not all heroes wear capes. Some, in fact,
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: carry wrenches. Yaniv Hayun, the man who saved not only
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: 180 lives in the air, but countless on the ground.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: Not to mention.
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: everyone else who would have been affected had the unthinkable
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: occurred on that fly Dubai flight. He's an absolute legend.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: He's a hero. And it gives me so much joy
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: to bring him to you. Yaniv, thank you so, so
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: much for joining us. It's such an honor to have
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: you on. And it was so lovely to meet you
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: in person in Israel over the last week or so.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: You're better in real life, let me tell you, but
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: still pretty good down the screen. I want you to
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: start by taking me through everything that happened from the
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: moment that you knew something was wrong to the moment
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: you landed back in Israel.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Arim shalom. Erin, hello.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: First of all, I want to thank you for choosing
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: to interview me on your show. And I want to
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: tell you about the sequence of events that happened on
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: the fly Dubai flight from Dubai to Israel. So we
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: boarded a connecting flight from Dubai to Israel, me, my
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: wife and my two daughters.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: During the flight, after about two hours.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Someone screamed from the front of the plane that there
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: were stabbings. At that moment, I was sitting in row 11,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: seat D, and I immediately got up. At that moment,
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: I didn't know where the stabbings were happening, what was
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: going on or where it was happening. I thought maybe
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: it was among the flight attendants or something. I didn't
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: understand where it was happening. But right at that second,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: the lights on the plane went out and the plane
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: tilted sharply to the left and then straightened out very sharply.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: And at that moment, I connected the screams about the
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: stabbings with the behavior of the plane, somehow the maneuvering
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: of the plane. And I realized that the distress was
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: in the cockpit. I immediately shouted to my wife and
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: daughters to fasten their seatbelts and ran toward the cockpit.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: At some point, just before I reached the cockpit, the
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: plane took a very steep dive. And I was thrown,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: I remember it was to the right side, and I
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: couldn't get up as long as we were in the dive.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: I couldn't get up and in those seconds I thought
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: we were going to die, to crash. A thought crossed
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: my mind, why am I not giving my wife and
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: daughters one last hug at some point? I don't know
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: exactly why, but apparently the plane stabilized because I managed
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: to get up and immediately approached the cockpit door. there
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: a crew member in a white shirt and uniform who
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: looked like part of the crew was standing he was
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: holding the handle he didn't resist as i pushed the
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: door inward he didn't resist and the door had a
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: bit of difficulty opening because the legs of the heroic
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: indian pilot mr smith were blocking the door from opening
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: inward he was lying behind the door when we entered
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: we saw him on the floor The entire cockpit was
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: covered in blood and the terrorist was on his knees
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: on the instruments between the two pilot seats. There are
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: two pilot seats and in the middle there are instruments.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: He was on his knees on the instruments.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: I grabbed him by the throat with my hands, choking
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: him and pulled him backward while simultaneously shouting for help.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Someone help me. Someone who was behind me. I believe
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: it was the pilot. He also helped me pull him.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: When I got to the door, there were already Israeli
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: guys there, Tzvika, Asaf, or Dr. Shota, and we neutralized
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: the terrorist. At that moment, when we neutralized the terrorist
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: and he was already in the hands of the Israeli guys,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I went back into the cockpit. As I stood there,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: I could see the ground from above. It looked like
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: the plane wasn't diving, but it was at a negative
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: angle toward the ground. I grabbed the control sticks and
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: pulled them toward me. At that moment, the pilot came in.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: It was just for a few seconds. At that moment,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: the replacement pilot came in. I didn't mention at the
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: beginning of my story that there were two other pilots
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: on the plane who were sitting with us in.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: The regular cabin.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know why they were there, but they were
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: there and they were in pilot uniforms. So at that moment,
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: one of them came in and told me that from
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: here he would handle the plane.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: He told me to let go. And I did.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: He sat down, put on the headphones and started handling
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: the plane. At that moment, I stood by the door
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: and another crew member also dressed like a pilot came
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: and asked to enter. The pilot confirmed to me that
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: he was okay, that he was part of their crew.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: I allowed him to enter. He came in, took out
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: a tablet and they started communicating. I closed the door
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: behind me. Inside the cockpit, I saw that they were
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: actually doing their job because I didn't trust them at
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: that moment. One of the crew members, during the few
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: minutes I was there, I saw that they were talking
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: on the radio and it really seemed like they wanted
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: to land the plane safely. After a few minutes of
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: being there with them, there was a very loud noise
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: outside the door on the plane, banging on the door
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: and a lot of commotion. I saw through the window
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: that one of the flight attendants was acting out and
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: that the Israeli guys were trying to restrain him. So
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: I shouted to them through the door to calm him down,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: to restrain him. It made noise inside the cockpit. And
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: then the pilot turned to me and asked me for quiet.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: He told me that there were already malfunctions on the
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: plane and that it was hard for him to fly it.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: So he asked for quiet and asked me to leave,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: to do it from outside.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: So I left.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Before I left, he extended his hand to me, thanked me,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: shook my hand, and I asked them to lock the
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: door behind me.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: I went outside.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: I looked through the peephole first, of course, to make
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: sure there was no danger right by the door. I
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: went outside, closed the door behind me, and at that moment,
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: I grabbed the flight attendant by the shirt and told
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: him to calm down. I told him that he doesn't
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: decide what happens here and that he's not entering the cockpit.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: We're the ones deciding right now. And I saw Mr. Smith,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: the pilot on the right side, Mr. Smith, the hero,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: I have to say. He opened the door.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: He reached the door with the last of his strength.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: He fought.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: He fought the terrorist very hard because I saw what
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: went on inside the cockpit, all that happened there. I
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: don't want to continue describing it because it was horrific
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: what happened there.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: So microplastics are infiltrating every part of our lives. Scientists
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: estimate we now consume a credit card's worth of plastic
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: every single week. That is a mic drop. Through our food,
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: our water, even the air we breathe. One study found
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: plastic particles in 100% of human lung samples. It's terrifying.
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: Nobody is safe from the exposure. And I'm sorry to say,
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: my friends, it gets worse. These plastics don't just sit
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: in your body. They cross the gut lining, leach into
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: your blood and disrupt everything. They've been shown to alter
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: gut bacteria, suppress your immune response, increase your risk for
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: neurodegenerative disease, metabolic disorders and cancer. Some plastic toxins like
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: BPA and plathalates mimic hormones, interfere with fertility and they
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: damage DNA. So even if you eat clean or you
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: avoid packaged foods, you are still being exposed. You can't
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: opt out. But your gut can help you fight back.
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: Kimchi Won from Brightcore Nutrition is a potent ally in
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: this toxic world. It's brilliant. I've been taking it for
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: two months now and I would never bring anything to
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: you that I didn't truly believe in. It's packed with
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: over 900 probiotic strains unique to kimchi and proven to
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: break down BPA, helping you detox from the inside out.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: It doesn't just support digestion. It helps protect your cells,
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: your brain, your hormones, and of course, your future. Your
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: body was never designed to handle plastic, but your gut
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: was designed to protect you. You just have to give it,

  Speaker 5: I don't promote anything I don't know works. I've taken
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: it for two months now. I feel incredible and I've
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: looked at the research and it is rock solid. Do it.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Bye.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Saying that he fought to get to the door and open. it,
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: and thanks to him, I'm here to tell the story.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: So he was lying on the right side near the cockpit,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: outside the cockpit. The terrorist was tied up with his
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: legs bound behind his back on the left side. In
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: my opinion, he was already unconscious. He wasn't functioning. And
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: the whole way Dr. Shota treated him, I made sure
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: to lift his legs and do everything Dr. Shota asked
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: me to. Doto, ensure he stayed conscious. Asaf, Tzvika, Orr,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: and maybe some other friends, other Israelis who were on
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: the plane, they also helped and fought the terrorists and
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: made sure the whole way that no one would surprise
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: us or attack us because... Honestly, we didn't trust anyone
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: from the plane's crew. We didn't know where another action
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: might come from on their part. And we were on
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: high alert for almost maybe even more than an hour
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: until the landing in Saudi Arabia. We treated Mr. Smith,
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: talked to him. I told him in English that he
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: wasn't going to die today. And the terrorist, the flight
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: attendants really wanted to help him and were even whispering
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: in a language we didn't understand. We shouted at them
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: to speak only in English so we could understand what
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: they were saying.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: They wanted to release him.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: And we made it very clear to them that they
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: couldn't touch him or release him. At some point toward
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: the end of the flight near the landing, the terrorist
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: lifted his head and communicated with them a bit. I
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: didn't exactly understand what they said, but at the end
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: of the conversation, he asked them to kill him.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: He told them in English, kill me.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: And near the landing, I grabbed the PA system and
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: announced to everyone sitting on the plane to fasten their
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: seatbelts because we didn't really know what kind of landing
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: we were going to have. At that point, I knew
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: there were malfunctions on the plane, but I didn't tell
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: the passengers to avoid causing panic.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: We landed in Saudi Arabia. And from there, the police
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: arrived after some time. An ambulance took Smith for treatment.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: They arrested the terrorist and took care of us. They
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: gave us water, gave us food, treated us very well,
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: and really took care of us. We have no complaints
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: about them.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: That's it. And then they flew us to Israel.
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: Again, if Hollywood were given a script, some would say
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: it's too far-fetched, even for Hollywood. It's hard to comprehend
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: the enormity of what you have just laid out. I'd
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: love to know if your wife, who you were sitting
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: next to, tried to stop you from going to help
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: or what happened before you jumped up.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: No, my wife didn't say anything to me.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: She didn't even have the chance because the moment everything started,
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: I reacted very quickly. The only thing I told them
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: was to fasten their seatbelts and I literally ran toward
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: the cockpit. The next time they saw me was when
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: the plane landed in Saudi Arabia over an hour later.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: What do you say to a world that seems to
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: think you and your people are the side of evil
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: and this co-pilot and his people are somehow the side
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: of good?
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: I say, stop for a moment, look at who the
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: terrorists tried to murder, who was on the plane. There
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: were so many kids, lots of kids coming back from vacation,
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: who just wanted to travel a bit with their families,
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: with their parents, moms and dads, older people. Don't forget,
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: he waited at the entrance to the plane. He welcomed us.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: He saw all the kids. He saw all the people.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: And he knew in his mind down that he was
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: about to murder all of us just because we are Jewish,
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: not for any other reason. So I ask you, What
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: kind of monster do you have to be to think
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: like that? Imagine you're in my place. I'm boarding with
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: my wife and my two daughters. He's on the plane.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: He's looking at us. And all he wants is to
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: kill us. How much evil, how much evil does it take?
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: How much? I'm trying to understand, really. I'm trying to imagine.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: And I just can't. I can't wrap my head around it.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: That is actually so....
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: Chilling and I hadn't even thought of that part of
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: it that he would have seen coming on the faces
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: of children he was intending to kill and not only
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: kill but put through such fear and horror and pain
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: right beforehand knowing what he was about to force people
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: to endure and was completely okay with it. Let's finish
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: on a somewhat more positive note. President Trump, in fact,
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: he said this about you.
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: I just want to thank and congratulate Yaniv Hayun, who's
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: a Israeli plumber and he's a Trump fan. I'm a
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: fan of his, a big fan. He saved that flight yesterday.
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: He did an amazing job. He got in there and
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: he learned how to fly by watching air disasters on television.
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: And he's my kind of guy. He can be my plumber.
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: He can be whatever he wants to be. What a
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: job he did.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: He's a hero.
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: And I want to just congratulate him and his family.
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: You like me and I like you. Thank you, Yaniv.
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: I'd love to know if there are any plans to
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: meet with President Trump. I'm assuming you want to, you
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: would like to. And if so, will you sail there?
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: Are we avoiding flights for the next little while?
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: Meeting President Trump, I really don't know. As you know,
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: it's not up to me.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: But if he invites me, I promise you that even
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: if there's no boat, I'll do it by swimming.
• 15:51
