Trump told how a plumber saved the Flydubai plane from a crash // Donald trump said about the rescue of the Flydubai plane Israeli plumber

U.S. President Donald trump said that from the crash of a passenger plane Flydubai was saved by an Israeli plumber who had never before flown the aircraft. After a fight between the two pilots, he took control and was able to level the falling ship, the head of state said.

According to the president, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shared this story with him. He said that during the flight, the co-pilot - "possibly a terrorist or a madman" - attacked the captain with a knife. The wounded crew commander managed to open the cockpit door and called for help. A passenger intervened, a “strong guy.” He pulled that guy out of the chair and threw him back. The crowd picked him up, the passengers twisted him and held him, Trump said.

At the moment when the liner began to fall “with an overload beyond the permissible”, the passenger himself sat in the pilot’s seat and pulled the helm on himself. Later, the control was intercepted by other specialists on board, the US president said.

And this plumber, who had never piloted an airplane, figured out to pull the helm... And when asked why he did that, he said he was watching Aircraft Crash Investigations. He said that he watches it all the time and thanks to him he roughly figured out how to fly a plane.

On Wednesday, the airliner, flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv, gave a distress call and urgently landed in Saudi Arabia. The crew reported a possible hijacking attempt. According to the Israeli press, one of the crew members intended to commit suicide and deliberately crash the plane. The Israeli side regards the incident as an alleged terrorist attack.
