U.S. President Donald Trump commented on the averted terror attack on a Flydubai flight from the UAE to Israel, stating that the co-pilot was likely a terrorist. Trump revealed he had an extensive conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the incident.
According to Trump, an Israeli passenger, described as a "strong plumber" who had never flown a plane before, intervened when the aircraft began a rapid descent. This passenger, who Trump said learned a lot from watching the TV show "Air Disasters," managed to take control of the joystick and prevent the plane from crashing.
Trump praised the passenger's actions, calling the situation "crazy." The incident involved a foiled mass casualty attack that was narrowly prevented. The flight originated in the United Arab Emirates and was en route to Israel.
