Watch: Emotional pilot recounts moment of Flydubai attack

What the coverage shows

Most outlets center on the pilot’s first-person account and the same core framing: he was stabbed in the cockpit, said he was fighting for his life, and describes opening the door so others could help. The Guardian, BBC, Channel 4 and CBS also foreground the video call with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while AP, ABC, The Hill, NBC and the New York Times keep the focus on his account of preventing a crash. Only The Independent’s extract singles out the plane’s rapid descent in a specific number, and CBS’s first item instead shifts to passengers describing the chaos.
