Flydubai passenger describes putting attacker in chokehold after cockpit stabbing
Other passengers on the Israel-bound flight described the "terrifying" moment the plane dropped.
What the coverage shows
The coverage converges on the passengers arriving in Tel Aviv after a Flydubai flight was diverted, with several outlets tying that diversion to a stabbing in the cockpit. NBC News is the only one to foreground Netanyahu’s account of an attempt to crash the plane, while BBC News and the New York Times emphasize passenger testimony and vivid descriptions of the onboard chaos. Al Jazeera splits its framing between a brief arrival update and a separate extract focused on passengers describing a “nightmare” aboard the flight.
