Passengers recount stopping pilot's alleged crash attempt on Israel-bound flight
Original: Passengers describe stopping pilot's alleged attempt to crash Israel-bound flight
Passengers say they intervened to stop a pilot's alleged attempt to crash an Israel-bound flight, subduing him before the plane could go down. The alleged attacker was reportedly restrained mid-flight and the aircraft landed safely. No details on injuries or the pilot's motive were given, and Israeli aviation authorities are expected to investigate the incident.
Why now: A crew member allegedly trying to down a civilian airliner is an extraordinary security breach, prompting widespread shock and scrutiny of Israeli aviation safety.
