A Flydubai co-pilot attacked the captain with a cockpit crash axe during a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv, according to the United Arab Emirates prosecutor general[1, 3, 5, 6, 9]. The incident led to the plane plunging 17,000 feet (5,200 meters)[1, 3, 5, 6, 9]. The co-pilot, identified as Hamam al-Hammami, was an Omani national who had been barred from flying due to concerns about extremist views[8].
