Middle East2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported56m ago
Channel 12 broadcast an interview with a hoaxer who falsely claimed to be a passenger on a flydubai flight to Tel Aviv. During the interview, the individual described dramatic scenes aboard the aircraft, falsely alleging that passengers feared for their safety due to an incident involving the pilot and the potential for a crash.
In contrast, reporting from Daily Sabah attributed claims that a flydubai co-pilot stabbed the captain and attempted to crash a Dubai-to-Tel Aviv flight to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. According to that version of events, passengers subdued the co-pilot before other crew members safely landed the aircraft in Saudi Arabia.
