A flight from Dubai to Israel in which the co-pilot attacked the captain in the cockpit is raising a lot of concerns.
The plane dropped 17,000 ft in about two minutes, a terrifying situation.
Passengers intervened, going into the cockpit to rescue the otherwise-doomed aircraft.
The plane, which reached speeds of 700 MPH, was close to tearing apart.
Images of flight #FZ1073 at Tabuk Airport appear to show that part of the aircraft’s rudder is missing or damaged.
Earlier in the flight, Flightradar24 data recorded an extreme descent rate of approximately -30,000 ft/min. https://t.co/8N8BLkvpiX

The flight landed in Saudi Arabia.
The airline, flydubai, has cancelled all flights in and out of Israel while the investigation is ongoing.
