World‘They are murdering the pilot!’: Mother recalls alarm over FlyDubai cockpit attack

Tali Berkovich-Manes, an Israeli mother travelling with her husband and three daughters, says she witnessed a cockpit attack on a Sept. 30 FlyDubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv. While waiting for her six-year-old daughter outside the washroom, she saw the co-pilot attacking Captain Smit Machchhar and shouted for help before the plane plunged and her family feared for their lives.
