Netanyahu Reveals Chilling Details Of Attempted Hijacking Of Israel-Bound Flight
Code 7700. Then 7500. Then a dive. Then a passenger broke the door.
Summary
- The Daily Wire reports Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that on Flydubai Flight FZ1073 from Dubai to Ben Gurion, one pilot stabbed the other and apparently tried to crash the Boeing 737 MAX 8 with Israeli passengers aboard.
- About 90 minutes in, the jet sent distress code 7700, then switched to 7500, the international code for unlawful interference, and dropped off flight-tracking apps before an emergency landing at Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.
- Netanyahu said he spoke with an Israeli passenger who broke into the cockpit with a crew member and helped neutralize the stabbing pilot as the aircraft spun and dived. Another crew then stabilized the jet.
- The attacking pilot was arrested and is being questioned by Saudi authorities. Netanyahu said all passengers were out of danger and ordered Israeli security services to prepare for additional threats.
Commentary
A Queens night dad still hears a 737 on final and knows a cockpit door is supposed to mean two pilots on the same side of the glass, not a knife and a dive over Saudi sand. He did not buy a ticket so a 7500 code could become a funeral.
FZ1073. 7700 then 7500. Tabuk. One passenger and one crew through the door. The vinyl chair in that departure lounge still holds the household that already bought the lock.
Look every working father who still puts a child on a transatlantic seat in the eye and answer this: if a passenger already had to break the door, who still owns the next cockpit that treats a plane as a weapon?
Comments
FZ1073. 7700 then 7500. Tabuk. Keep those three stamps.
I stood a gate so a cockpit still meant two pilots. A knife is not a weather report.
Netanyahu: stab, dive, neutralize. Saudis: attacker in custody. Print the two.
Allied skies still treat a 7500 as a war crime in the air, not a brawl.
737 MAX 8. Dubai to Ben Gurion. Extra threats ordered. File the three.
I still smell jet fuel at 2 a.m. I want the next cockpit on the same side of the glass.
A dive over Tabuk is not a vibe. It is a warning the street already paid.
A 7500 next to an Israeli cabin is a second border around every honest gate.
Daily Wire printed FZ1073, 7500, and the passenger door. Argue those nouns.
Hold the cockpit. Keep the arrest. A 7500 is not a souvenir.
