Photos of the jet appear to show it is missing the rudder. Yikes!
That’s when you need a GOOD pilot, and GOD with him, and you!
Crew members and passengers forced their way into the cockpit and subdued him.
In case you’re wondering (as I did) how that happened...
Senior flight attendants have an emergency access code to get through a locked cockpit door. I( guess that won’t work if the copilot noticed and denied the entry.
Not sure if it’s been covered yet, but the attacking pilot is Omani, the injured pilot is Indian.
Ditto.
The pilot was on the floor severely wounded. The copilot was subdued by passengers. Who, then, flew the plane to a safe landing in Tabuk, Arabia?
And where might he have been intending to crash it? Tel Aviv, maybe?
Or helped out that poor pilot being attacked by Joos to complete his journey.
The photo of the tail with missing parts tells quite a story.

Early reports are error-prone.
There are reports of a second flight crew transiting on the plane.
Answer: Netanyahu: 'Passengers prevented a major disaster'
Another flight crew that was aboard the plane then entered the cockpit and managed to stabilize the aircraft.
God provides.
Why did it take you 2 years?
God provides.
That video at the second link was harrowing….those passengers were convinced they were going to die. Thank God for those heroes that stopped the madman.
Al Reuters coverup matches CNN attempt.
“It was just an argument”
Minus the dancing israelis, I'll bet.
