Flydubai cockpit stabbing forced emergency diversion to Saudi Arabia
One pilot stabbed the other in the cockpit of a Sept. 30 flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv. The aircraft plunged thousands of feet before crew and passengers foiled the co-pilot's attempt to crash it, forcing a diversion to Saudi Arabia. Passengers later reached Israel on a replacement flight. Israel's prime minister said it was not a hijacking.
