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
The coverage converges on a chaotic in-flight incident on a Dubai-to-Israel route, with all five outlets foregrounding passengers and crew describing panic and danger. CBS News and NBC News emphasize eyewitness horror and passenger testimony, while the New York Times is the only outlet in this set to detail how crew and four Israeli men acted to stop the situation. Axios centers Netanyahu’s comments and adds that he framed it as narrowly avoiding a “9/11 disaster,” and Breaking Points is the only one with a bluntly sensational, discussion-style headline.
