Original: Passengers and crew foil co-pilot's apparent attempt to crash FlyDubai flight to Israel
Passengers and crew subdued a FlyDubai co-pilot who apparently tried to crash the aircraft during a flight to Israel, according to CNBC. The plane landed safely after the intervention, and no casualties were reported. Details on the co-pilot's motives and condition remain limited, with authorities expected to investigate the incident.
Why now: An apparent attempted downing of a commercial airliner by a crew member is an extraordinarily rare and alarming aviation incident.
