According to Radwan, after the hijacker was restrained with zip ties, several passengers noticed one of the flight attendants attempting to release them. "We suddenly realized, me, Yaniv, Tzvika, Or, we realized he suddenly started releasing the zip ties, one of them. He started gently releasing it, and we told him 'What are you doing? What are you doing?' We were going crazy, we almost jumped on him," Radwan recounted.
