Terror in the sky has a happy ending, though questions remain.

A FlyDubai flight from Dubai to TelAviv had an incident in the cockpit when the co-pilot allegedly attacked the captain and injured him severely. The captain managed to open the cockpit door. The passengers contained the attacker and two reserve pilots who were passengers took control of the plane and helped it land in Saudi Arabia.

During this, the plane dropped 14,000 ft in 30 seconds and passengers were terrified but many of them participated in the safety of the plane.
