Flydubai crew demanded the release of the co-pilot who injured a colleague during the flight

The Flydubai crew demanded the release of the co-pilot, who injured a colleague during the flight and seized control. Passengers on the flight told The New York Post about this.

After the attack, three Israelis subdued the terrorist and laid him face down, tying his hands behind his back, first with plastic ties and then with headphone wires. However, some crew members began to demand his release. "They said: 'You are not Gods, don't kill him.' We didn’t want to kill him, we just wanted him not to kill us,” recalled one of the men in the cabin.

The flight attendants also began to insist that they were the ones in command of the flight and should be left alone directly in front of the cockpit. Passengers shooed away the stewards, ordering them to sit in the middle of the liner. Only after taking their seats did the crew members begin to “realize that this was a special case” and began to help the injured passengers.

The crew is not accused of colluding with the terrorist.
