Passengers recount terrifying attempted hijack of Dubai-to-Israel flight

Passenger Ron Levi tells CBS News the attempted hijack of a Dubai-to-Israel flight was "the scariest thing possible."

Breaking Points

What the coverage shows

All four outlets frame the story as an in-flight attack or attempted hijacking on a Dubai-to-Israel or Dubai-to-Tel Aviv flight, with passengers and crew regaining control. CBS News leans hardest on passenger video and eyewitness aftermath, while NBC News foregrounds the frightening sensory details in its headline and the uncertainty about motive in its extract. The Independent is the only outlet to mention an axe and to quote Israeli security officials about an initial assessment, and Breaking Points is the only one to describe it as a brawl and say the flight was “hijacked.”
