Some of the latest updates on the Flydubai plane attack: • Flydubai flight FZ1073, a Boeing 737 MAX 8 traveling from Dubai to Tel Aviv, was carrying 174 passengers, including 27 children. • Israeli officials say the Omani co pilot stabbed the captain and attempted to take control of the aircraft and crash it, potentially a 9/11 style attack. His affiliation remains under investigation. • During the incident, the aircraft plunged from roughly 33,000 feet to 17,000 feet in under 1 minute. • The aircraft transmitted code 7700 for a general emergency and later 7500, the international code for unlawful interference or hijacking. • The wounded captain managed to release the cockpit door, allowing passengers and crew to intervene. Israeli passengers and crew members entered the cockpit and subdued the co pilot. • A doctor and nurse aboard the flight provided initial medical treatment to the wounded captain. • Additional Flydubai pilots who were traveling aboard the aircraft took control and safely landed the plane in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. • The captain and co pilot were taken to a hospital in Saudi Arabia. • Israeli fighter jets were scrambled while the incident was unfolding. • Saudi and Israeli intelligence authorities are investigating. • Saudi Arabia declined an Israeli request to send Israeli military aircraft to retrieve the passengers, Flydubai instead arranged another aircraft to bring them to Israel. The rescue flight has now landed safely at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel. • No passenger required urgent medical treatment after disembarking at Ben Gurion Airport, including 2 passengers who were bleeding, according to Magen David Adom crews stationed beside the aircraft. • Israeli authorities are expected to question passengers as part of the investigation into what happened aboard FZ1073.
