Flight Incident and Pilot Response

Such pressure, such force that pulled me down.

And there was someone else standing at the door in a white shirt. I assume

that was the pilot,

because there were two pilots inside,

and outside, incidentally, there were two pilots sitting in the— in the— in the section.

I don't know what they were doing there. Their pilots.

He and I pushed the door. The pilot who had been stabbed was just

very close to the door, so it was hard for us to open it, but I think, in my opinion,

my conclusion is that he managed to open it.

How does he open it? He has to get up there, right?

Before he collapsed.

Before he collapsed, he managed to.

He managed to.

Wow, that's great resourcefulness.

When I went in, I saw the retard

on the controls between the two seats. There were no, there were no pilots

in the seats. One was down, one was on the controls, and another came in with me.

One more person.

I grabbed the— the attacker, put him in a chokehold,

and first pulled him outside.

What was he doing on those controls? What was he doing?

He was trying to destroy the controls in order

to—to—to—

That's what—

disable the plane.

That's what you saw.

Yes.

Okay.

We got him out. It took seconds. The plane's nose was like this.

I called over the Israelis who were with us on the plane.

I called them over. They came, two more guys approached me.

I told them that— we restrained him to the seat. I jumped back

to it and pulled the controls.

I started pulling the controls, and then—

You pulled the controls?

Yes.

You knew to— pull back?

Back.

You knew—

I watch aviation investigations, anything that's on.

Yes. And the plane started to level out a little more, and then

the pilot told me he was taking control from there.
