A FlyDubai jet full of Israelis was supposed to land in Tel Aviv. The co-pilot stabbed the captain instead. The plane plunged thousands of feet. Passengers had to break into the cockpit to stop it. Wednesday morning, FlyDubai flight FZ1073 left Dubai for Tel Aviv with about 174 people on board, most of them Israelis. At cruise altitude, near 34,000 feet, the co-pilot stabbed Captain Smit Machchhar. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the attacker apparently tried to crash the plane with the passengers on board. The Boeing 737 dropped thousands of feet — some flight data put the fall around 17,000 to 18,000 feet — sent a 7700 emergency squawk, and turned for Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. Israeli fighter jets were scrambled. Airspace was briefly closed. A man trusted with the controls of a commercial flight to Israel allegedly used that access to try to kill the people in the back.Pat also covered: Trump says the last U.S. troops are out of Iraq.
