FlyDubai incident 30/9

[Saab34]

This one is just breaking and coming out now. FlyDubai 737-8 Dubai to Tel Aviv. Disturbance in the flight deck between crew resulting in a dive.

Seems pretty bad. I’m only posting the below photo as it’s been posted from a few sources and from different angles which would indicate it’s likely not AI. Structural damage seems likely looking at the data. Obviously many videos across X , some of the two crew, both crew are in a pretty bad state. Extremely lucky other pilots had been been paxing onboard to takeover and land it.

A “violent” altercation between two pilots caused a FlyDubai aircraft traveling from Dubai to Tel Aviv to divert to Saudi Arabia, sources have told CNN.

Israeli officials suspect flydubai pilot of attempted 'terror attack'

The Israeli government believes an incident on flight FZ1073, which forced the plane to make an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia, may have been an attempted "terror attack" by one of the pilots.

Also, another flydubai flight (FZ1081) from Dubai to Tel Aviv, has since diverted back to Dubai:

The ABC might want to double check that. FZ1081 is currently descending towards TLV.
