Dramatic details revealed in the United Arab Emirates indicate that an Omani co-pilot, inspired by the September 11th attacks, planned to hijack a Flydubai flight and crash it into the passenger terminal at Ben-Gurion Airport. The attempted attack was thwarted by divine intervention after the plane's crew and passengers struggled with the hijacker, who had pulled out an emergency axe. The incident, which occurred "by the grace of heaven," was prevented due to the bravery of those on board.
The co-pilot reportedly drew inspiration from the 9/11 terrorist attacks, aiming to replicate a similar devastating impact. The plot was foiled before it could be executed, thanks to the collective resistance of the flight crew and passengers who fought off the attacker. The specific details of the struggle and how the hijacker was subdued were not fully elaborated upon, but the outcome was the prevention of a major catastrophe.
