Flydubai Co-Pilot Accused of Trying to Crash Israel-Bound Flight

Original: flydubai flight pilot

A flydubai co-pilot has been accused of attempting to crash a flight bound for Israel, an incident Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says points to a radicalised, suicidal actor allegedly linked to Iran by Donald Trump. Saudi Arabia says the co-pilot has been transferred to the UAE. Meanwhile, the Indian pilot credited with stopping the disaster is being hailed as a hero by friends, who praise his courage.

Why now: The dramatic mid-flight intervention, competing political claims about the co-pilot's motives, and celebration of the heroic pilot have driven intense global attention.
