> A co-pilot allegedly stabbed the captain while a Flydubai jet carrying 174 people to Israel was in flight on Wednesday, apparently trying to crash it. Passengers fought their way into the cockpit and subdued the attacker as the plane plunged, before it made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia. The passengers later reached Israel on another flight.
