Israeli special services are working on a version of the intention of the pilot of flydubai airline, who attacked a colleague during the flight, to send the plane to the skyscraper. This writes The Telegraph with reference to sources.
“It is believed that this is a scenario on September 11, in which the co-pilot kills the pilot and crashes the plane in Israel along with all the passengers, most of whom are Israelis,” one of the interlocutors said.
This version is studied among the main, according to three sources The Telegraph.
The passenger airliner flydubai was traveling from the UAE to Israel. Between the pilots there was a conflict, because of which the board sharply began to lose altitude and changed course. One of the pilots stabbed a colleague and tried to steer the plane into the ground. The plane landed in Saudi Arabia. At the same time, the liner suffered damage to the tail part.
More than 170 people were on board, including Israeli citizens. One of them, after announcing an emergency landing, recorded a video message saying, "We need help.".
According to Israel Hayom, citing Israeli authorities, the plane was helped to land two pilots – citizens of Russia and Ukraine, who were passengers and were not part of the crew.
After the incident, both pilots of flydubai flight were hospitalized. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu canceled a planned visit to the south of the country on Wednesday and called an emergency meeting because of flydubai, and the country's authorities called for the suspension of the company's flights.
The Israeli Embassy in Russia expressed confidence that what happened on board was an attempt at a terrorist attack aimed at Israel, the UAE and the “Abraham Accords”.
“According to preliminary information, the pilot intended to crash the aircraft with passengers on board, endangering the lives of all civilians on board and creating a serious threat to the safety of civil aviation,” the embassy said.
