- Another pilot then took control of the aircraft.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with passengers who helped thwart a potential attack on a flight, during which one passenger, Ohayon, detailed his actions. Ohayon explained that he entered the cockpit to find the hijacker sitting on the control panel, intending to disable it. He and another passenger subdued the hijacker with a chokehold and removed him from the cockpit.
Following the hijacker's removal, Ohayon noticed the plane was in a steep dive. He re-entered the cockpit and pulled back on the controls to stabilize the aircraft. When Netanyahu asked how he knew how to operate the plane in such an emergency, Ohayon jokingly replied that he regularly watches "Air Crash Investigation" (Mayday).
Shortly after Ohayon intervened, another pilot returned to the cockpit and regained full control of the aircraft.
