The story
On September 30, a passenger plane that had departed Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) bound for Tel Aviv, Israel, sent out an emergency signal and made an emergency landing in Tabuk in northwestern Saudi Arabia. According to Israeli media, the co-pilot appears to have stabbed the captain with a knife, and there is a possibility he was plotting a “terrorist attack” to crash the plane. On 5ch’s Breaking News+ board, reactions ranged from relief that the passengers were safe, to questions about how a knife got onboard, to speculation about what might have happened had the hijacking continued mid-flight.

What people said
If it had actually crashed, it would've been a disaster.
Seriously, what was the air marshal even doing?
What's the point of having one if not for this?
The Reiwa era is terrifying. (Reiwa = Japan's current imperial era, since 2019)
Have you forgotten about 9/11?

>According to a broadcast on Israel's Channel 12, flydubai revealed that this hijacking incident turned out to be a brawl between two pilots — one Ukrainian, one Russian.
You really shouldn't have crewed those two together lol
So this is how the Ukraine-Russia war ends up sparking World War 3… (´・ω・｀) (a downcast emoticon face)
Huh, surprised they managed to get along fine until now.
Fly
dubai's Boeing 737 flight FZ1073 had a Russian pilot who stabbed the Ukrainian co-pilot with a pocket kn*fe.
He then tried to crash the plane into a building in a 9/*1-style attack.

Where's the Israeli military even going to retaliate against??
Might as well hit Russian intelligence services while they're at it
In the end countries all over the world are going to end up having to root out Russian intelligence operations everywhere.
Info's all over the place.
Is it actually confirmed that the captain's Russian and the co-pilot's Ukrainian?
There are conflicting reports on which one was plotting the attack and which one did the stabbing.
Why he was able to bring a knife onboard
How a passenger got into the cockpit and managed to restrain him
How the stabbed captain managed to subdue the attacker
Three big mysteries here.
Dubai airport's security screening is full of holes
Apparently a plastic paper kn*fe doesn't get picked up by the scanners.
Guess I don't really understand how airplane job titles work.
That's bad.
I mean, if it were an actual military base they'd shoot it down instantly.
The target was probably something more like the Prime Minister's residence.
a little disagreement over flight safety could've turned into something huge.
Like, shot down by the Israeli military VS shot down by anti-Israel forces,
that kind of thing.
"NAZA"
a term used internally by the Israeli military, referring to civilian deaths accepted as collateral damage in a strike.
Reportedly, up to 500 civilian deaths were approved as acceptable collateral just to kill a single target.
If the plane had stayed hijacked and kept heading for Israel, it would've been shot down.
Definitely… like how the plane heading toward [rendered here as "Kyuwabu," possibly a garbled reference to the Capitol] on 9/11 mysteriously crashed before reaching it,
I bet they'd have shot it down — or maybe deliberately forced it to crash within the city instead.
Background and Key Points of This Story
Cockpit incidents threatening flight safety aren’t unprecedented — the 2015 Germanwings crash mentioned in the thread (in which the co-pilot locked the captain out of the cockpit and deliberately crashed the plane into the French Alps, killing 150 people including one Japanese national) is a well-known example. This time, an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia appears to have averted the worst-case outcome, but early reports were inconsistent on details like the captain’s and co-pilot’s nationalities and which of the two did the stabbing versus which allegedly plotted to crash the plane — none of this should be treated as confirmed yet. Commenters also raised pointed questions about aviation security, including how a knife got onboard and how someone managed to get into the cockpit.
