A potentially catastrophic terror attack was narrowly averted on an Indian flight yesterday morning, an event that could have been one of the most severe in history. The lives of 174 passengers and crew were saved at the last moment when the co-pilot attempted to crash the aircraft. The successful prevention of the disaster is attributed to the resourcefulness and bravery of the flight's pilots, another group of pilots on board, and several Israeli passengers. Despite supporters of Benjamin Netanyahu claiming credit for the positive outcome, the article asserts that the success was not due to him or the security system.
