*“There Were Moments We Thought We Wouldn’t Make It Out Alive” — New Details From Flydubai Flight* Passengers aboard the Flydubai flight that made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia described screams, blood in the cockpit and a pilot who had apparently been stabbed with a pocketknife. Israeli passengers reportedly helped bring the situation under control as the aircraft rapidly lost altitude. Israeli authorities are investigating reports that one pilot may have deliberately attempted to bring the aircraft down while the other fought to stop him. The passengers remain in Saudi Arabia awaiting a replacement aircraft. Some reportedly have blood on their clothing after assisting during the incident. The exact sequence of events remains under investigation.
