Heroic Actions of a Plumber on Flight
Have you spoken to Prime Minister Netanyahu yet about the incident on the
flight to
Dubai?
Yes.
And what do you think the pilot was trying to do?
A plumber, an Israeli plumber,
never flew a plane, was rarely in planes, very rarely flew.
Uh, an Israeli plumber saw what was happening, and strong.
You know, when you lift pipe all day, you're strong.
And he saw what was going on, and he heard the screaming.
He was toward the front,
where you had security in the back.
You know, you had
security, and you had another flight crew,
but they didn't have time. The plane was going sharply down at an unbelievable
angle, so sharp that the rudder ripped off the
back of the plane.
The plane wasn't designed to go
at a speed anywhere near that.
And so it was well beyond its limits,
and he ripped...
With the G-forces as they were, he ripped this guy out of the seat,
threw him
back. The crowd got him. The passengers got him,
grabbed him.
And having never flown a
plane, he took the stick,
lifted it up,
and leveled out the plane before it crashed.
Now, this is the story that I heard.
I don't know if it's true,
but that's the story that I got from Bibi.
This plumber, never having flown a plane,
had the sense to lift the stick. Who would've... And you know, it's not...
Like planes are different today. He used to have a little steering wheel,
whatever.
Today, they fly differently. But supposedly, a
plumber grabbed the stick.
He grabbed the stick, pulled it up, leveled out the plane before it crashed.
