Pilot arrested after stabbing co-pilot and trying to crash Israel-bound plane

The pilot with the knife is Omani. His victim is Indian.

Islam is the official state religion in Oman, which uses Sharia law as the basis for its legislation. And then there's this:

...Oran Choen says he heard "Allahu Akbar" being shouted before the plane started to dive...

We musn't speculate about any possible religious motivations on the part of the Omani perpetrator aboard a planeload of Jews. That would be bigoted and hateful.

They ought to restrict all the pilot certificates registered to "Muhammad" to light aircraft only.

Link: Absolute Heroes: Passengers Share Riveting Stories of What Unfolded on FlyDubai Flight

...The Israel Foreign Ministry X account wrote:

This man is a hero.

Captain Smit Machchhar, the Indian captain of flydubai Flight 1073, fought back after being stabbed in the cockpit.

Despite being severely injured, he managed to unlock the cockpit door – allowing Israeli passengers and the Emirati crew to intervene and save all the passengers.

Together, their extraordinary courage saved 174 lives.

Indian. Israeli. Emirati.

Different nationalities. One extraordinary act of courage...


This dude should never have to buy his own beers, ever again.

Link: Thwarted Hijacker Underwent ‘Islamist Radical Indoctrination,’ Netanyahu Says

The pilot who was narrowly prevented from hijacking a passenger jet en route from Dubai to Tel Aviv on Wednesday underwent “Islamist radical indoctrination,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said...

...A fellow pilot told Israel’s Channel 16 journalist Yosef Yisrael the attacker was “someone characterized by very strange behavior, especially around religious observances that were out of step with his surroundings.”

...“For instance, he used to pray a lot, and would not shake hands with women,” said the pilot, who spoke to Yisrael on the condition of anonymity...


His motives will likely never be known. As best we can tell, he is a Mostly Peaceful™ pilot who accidentally brought a knife into the cockpit and curiously stabbed the captain over and over again and shouted "allahu akbar" just before he sent the plane into a nosedive. Just an odd series of honest mistakes, probably precipitated by someone else in his family. Just like how Lindsay Clancy's husband is really to blame for his wife murdering their kids. Duh.

This guy's name is Petter Hörnfeldt. He spent 20 years flying 737s, and has an outstanding channel called Mentour Pilot. It's a go to for me when aviation incidents occur.

The co-pilot who attacked the captain has been identified as Reginald Stephen Carmichael lll. Oh waitaminit, that's a typo. The terrorist's name is Hamam al-Hammami. We will not speculate about possible religious affiliations, because that would be bigoted and hateful.
