Dramatic Plane Passenger Pleads for Help During Hijacking
New footage released Wednesday captures a dramatic moment from a Flydubai flight, showing an Israeli passenger bleeding and describing the terror aboard the plane shortly before its emergency landing in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. The passenger, identified as being of Omani origin, is heard in the video stating, "We are here, during a hijacking of a plane." He continues, "Right now we have taken control of the terrorists, we are nearing landing." The passenger then appeals directly to anyone listening, "Anyone who hears me, we need help. We are landing in Tabuk, apparently in the Saudi region, an unfamiliar, unknown area. Everyone on the plane is healthy and whole, except for the pilot. We need help."
The incident involved an attempt to hijack the Flydubai aircraft. Reports indicate that passengers managed to regain control of the plane from the hijackers, leading to the emergency landing in Saudi Arabia. The footage highlights the fear and uncertainty experienced by those on board during the hijacking attempt.
