flydubai Flight FZ1073 from Dubai to Tel Aviv was the scene of an unprecedented mid-air crisis when one pilot stabbed the other and apparently attempted to deliberately crash the plane.
The attack caused the Boeing 737-8 MAX carrying 174 passengers to plummet roughly 14,000 to 17,000 feet in less than two minutes.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Donald Trump recounted the "amazing story" Benjamin Netanyahu told him over the phone.
Trump said that an Israeli plumber on board (who had never flown a plane and rarely even traveled by air) rushed into the cockpit, pulled the rogue pilot out of his seat, "took the stick, lifted it up and leveled out the plane".
Trump added that the plumber allegedly learned what to do from watching the television show 'Air Disasters'.
Fortunately everyone on the flight was saved.
And, they were probably LUCKILY all on high alert, because Benjamin Netanyahu actually warned of a situation like this happening just the day before, live from an airfield.
What are the odds.
