New footage has emerged capturing the dramatic moments of an attempted hijacking aboard a Flydubai aircraft. The video depicts a turbulent scene with passengers and crew shouting in English and Hebrew as they grapple with an immediate threat. Passengers are heard yelling "Relax! Relax!" while others urgently demand action: "Get him out! Brother, calm down, get him out!". The commotion intensifies rapidly, with a distressed voice asking "Who is this?!" followed by shouts from the crowd, "Grab him! Get him out!". Passengers realize the incident is focused near the cockpit and some attempt to assist in clearing access for those trying to regain control. Sounds of passengers kicking or pushing are accompanied by pleas, "Let him in! Let him in!", as English shouts of "Get out! Get out!" are directed at the assailant. Crew and passengers work to restore order in the aisles, with repeated calls of "Sit down! Sit down!". Amidst the chaos, medical professionals and pilots among the passengers step forward. One passenger announces, "I'm a doctor! I'm a doctor!" and tries to reach those injured during the struggle. Simultaneously, the need for someone to take control of the aircraft is recognized, and an excited passenger exclaims, "There's a pilot here! There's a pilot here! There's another pilot!". After what are described as nerve-wracking minutes, the crew and passengers successfully regain control of the situation and quell the panic. A crew member reassures passengers in English, "We have the flight deck, don't worry!". The footage also shows a passenger kneeling beside an injured individual on the floor, calmly telling them, "Breathe, breathe... it's okay. It's okay."
