A passenger has shared new details about an attempted hijacking on a Flydubai flight, describing the scene inside the cockpit as chaotic and bloody. Tali Manes, who was traveling with her young daughter, noticed unusual sounds coming from the cockpit during flight FZ 1073. She alerted a nearby flight attendant after hearing a strange banging on the cockpit door from the inside. "Something is happening there. I shouted to him and grabbed his hand tightly, saying that something was happening in the cabin," Manes recounted. Upon the flight attendant opening the door, she witnessed a violent struggle inside, with blood visible throughout the cockpit.
