WorldBarricades & the blame game: the French school protests

The headline refers to French school protests, but the accompanying text describes an incident on FlyDubai flight 1073. Eyewitnesses reportedly saw the co-pilot attempt to kill the pilot and destroy cockpit controls, sending the plane down more than 14,000 feet in 30 seconds. Despite repeated stabbing, Captain Smit Machchhar opened the cockpit door, enabling passengers to overpower the suspect and regain control. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said they had prevented a 9/11-style catastrophe.
