What the coverage shows
Most outlets converge on the same basic frame: a FlyDubai flight from Dubai to Israel was diverted to Saudi Arabia after one pilot stabbed the other, and passengers and crew took control or subdued the attacker. Several, including NBC, AP, Reuters, The Hill, PBS NewsHour and the Washington Post, emphasize Netanyahu’s account that the co-pilot tried to crash the plane, while CBS and BBC often foreground the midair fight or passenger video. A few outlets add their own focus, with the New York Times and Reuters highlighting the injured captain as a hero and Channel 4 and Fox stressing the plunge and drama.
