Emergency Landing Experience in Saudi Arabia

An ambulance needs to get to him. And as soon as we landed in Saudi Arabia

How was the landing in Saudi Arabia?

Uh.

We were kind of in shock. The Saudis were amazing, incredible, they took care of

us, made sure we had food, everything.

Did someone fly the plane?

Someone flew the plane. There were two other pilots on the plane.

Who were they?

They were British.

Were they passengers?

No. We knew they were pilots. They were sitting a row ahead of us, row six.

We were in row seven.

And, um, they were the ones who landed the plane. There was one pilot who went into shock for ten minutes,

lost it, and the other pilot took control of the plane thanks to him.

Driver.

He brought the plane in by the skin of his teeth, uh, and stabilized the

plane, and he succeeded. Meanwhile, we prayed over the dip, and he

succeeded.

Why did you do what you did? Why did you do what you did in English

please?

Just a word in English.

I already speak English.

I know, but one more time.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

There was

some hidden factor?

No, no. I didn't fight it. It wasn't some...

In English, in English.

We killed him very quickly. Very quickly. There was no war there.

We weren't noncommissioned officers. I didn't understand.

How long did it take?

That's nonsense.

Uh, there was a confrontation there, and he was neutralized. Once we got them down, it wasn't hard, there were no

blows, there was nothing.

What weapon did he have? A knife?

He had a knife. We took control of the Saudi pilot.
