Not saying Iranian backed, but was probably Iranian backed.

I could see them activating an asset and that plane was planned for Iran.

They are probably back to the taking hostages stage.

This is why you always check in with the pilot on your way in to let them know your MS time in the seat.

The TERRIFYING plunge of the FlyDubai flight...

A flight carrying 174 people, including 27 children, dropped 14,125 feet in just 29 seconds (!!) this AM.

The co-pilot allegedly forced the aircraft into a dive after attacking the captain, before passengers and crew (including undercover special forces) regained control.

The plane ultimately landed safely in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. Thank God... ??

Surprised the abc article calls it the cockpit since that is a male chauvinist term

Next thing you know they will call flight attendants stewardesses (the horror!)

Something tells me you could start a movement on this if you really wanted. People would get whipped up before fact checking.

I'm shocked that a terrorist took over a plane with the intent to crash it and Saudia Arabia is in the picture.

This has never happened before.

I tell you what would've separated. The contents of my stomach from the rest of my body.

I thought the doors could not be breached anymore? Is that just a US thing?

Doubt anyone has watched it, but the show Tehran is pseudo based on this type of event.

Israelis aren't allowed to travel to Saudi Arabia so they fake a plane issue to divert to Iran. A spy gets off the plane and there are some Israeli's regulars accidentally caught up in Iran.

So go full conspiracy theory and see this as a Mossad op to get Israelis into Saudi Arabia.

Doors can be overridden from the outside with a code.

Pilots can also prevent this override by a switch in the cockpit.

So the stabbed pilot likely kept the button from being pushed or was able to switch it back to normal/unlock position.

I am wondering if the guy with blood all over him got liquore service after subduing the hijacker.

"Excuse me mam, can I get a double bourbon on the rocks?"*

*Flight attendant pulls out the little credit card machine.

"Really mam?"

There's got to be easier ways than ripping a rudder off of a 737.
