The incident, which occurred on a flight that eventually landed in Israel, saw Israeli passengers intervene after suspecting an attempted attack by a pilot. According to reports, passengers wrestled control from the suspected pilot and one passenger took over the controls, preventing a further dive.
Following this, another pilot on board managed to stabilize the aircraft through significant effort and skill.
