Flydubai flight diverts to Saudi Arabia amid reports of pilot fight

Yup. He was basically only voted in because Muslims have reached critical mass in certain constituencies (due to zero border control).

this, just wait till they achieve critical mass elsewhere and force the rest of the world to sharia law.
better get used to the call to prayer at deafening volumes all day long.

People don't give a damn about what some nobody MP has to say.

Although at least your hero, Faraway Farage, limits the amount of trash in parliament via his chronic non-attendance.

You see you have a very parochial view about this. The so-called "independent" MPs (in reality, all radical MPs who solely got elected on a pro-Gaza/ME platform) may be small today, but if one projects in the future, it's certain their numbers will grow (as Muslims hit critical mass in more constituencies). Then you will hear more of Gaza and other ME issues that (a) are not of interest to the majority of the UK and (b) the UK cannot influence since it isn't a superpower anymore.

PS: Farage is not trash since he's pro UK unlike many self-hating MPs.

I think that Indian co-pilot was eating chicken tikka masala and tried to claim credit saying Indians invented that dish.

Reality is that it was invented by a Pakistani in Britain so Omani got very angry and 2 Pommistani (formerly British) were on Omani's side and then Israelis joined with Indians and NZ & Seffricans joined due to being commonwealth comrades.

We will soon know I am right.

I haven't eaten or drank anything since waking up this morning. 🤔

Yeah yeah, of course yes.

Farage is a total benefits queen. Trousers £90K a year for not doing his job as an MP, and spreads division and hatred everywhere he goes. He is pro himself and that's it.
 
Anyway back on topic:


The FlyDubai pilot who stabbed his captain and sent the plane diving toward the ground slipped through one of the world’s tightest aviation-security nets. The question is: How?

The route connecting the United Arab Emirates and Israel is one of the world’s most sensitive. The Middle East has a long history of hijackings and other attacks on civilian airliners.

To counter attacks, both countries have some of the world’s most advanced surveillance technologies and capable spy networks. On top of that, air regulations have been repeatedly tightened following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the U.S. and the Germanwings Flight 9525 intentional crash in the French Alps.

And yet on Wednesday a pilot was able to conceal his intentions, gain access to a knife, and put a plane carrying around 170 people into a dive so steep it nearly tore it apart in midair.

“This is 100% a major security failure,” said Michael Horowitz, a security and geopolitical analyst who wrote a book about Israel’s future in the Middle East. “The question is how broad and how bad.”

Aviation experts consider Dubai International Airport to have high security standards. It was consistently the world’s busiest for international travel and connected fliers from risky countries such as Afghanistan and Iran. It uses facial recognition to identify passengers and scans carry-on luggage coming in and out of the country.

Pilots who have regularly flown from Dubai recounted strict searches through metal detectors that have led security staff to confiscate everything from selfie sticks to hair spray to cups of coffee. Air regulations ban all blades with sharp points and typically blunt knives longer than six centimeters.

“Dubai is high-spec and a key global hub. It compares well to many of the top airports in the world,” Horowitz said. “But that doesn’t rule out insider jobs or a broader lapse in security.”

An Israeli official said the country has long pressed Dubai airport officials to strengthen security for flights heading its way. It stopped its own airlines from flying between Dubai and Tel Aviv for several months this year amid worries about security gaps and the risks posed by the war against Iran.

You completely missed the point, stated several times in this thread! The co-pilot did not carry anything through security. Every B737 carries an axe in the cockpit. QED...

Google:
Standard Equipment: Under international aviation regulations, a crash axe is required safety equipment on commercial airliners and is installed on the flight deck.
Location: It is typically stowed behind a panel or in a designated bracket out of passenger view, but within easy reach of the pilots. Following post-9/11 security enhancements, the axe was moved from the main cabin into the locked cockpit.
Emergency Uses: It is designed to help crew members break through interior panels to fight hidden electrical fires, pry open jammed doors, or create an emergency exit path if the airframe is warped or blocked after an accident.

That axe mounted in the cockpit isn’t there for decoration.

The Boeing 737 MAX carries a crash axe as part of its emergency equipment, with Boeing training material specifically identifying it among the aircraft’s emergency equipment.

Why would an airliner need an axe?

In a serious accident, the aircraft structure can become damaged or distorted, potentially making normal exits difficult or impossible to use. In an extreme situation, an axe can provide another tool for dealing with obstacles during an emergency escape.

It’s important to note that the axe is not the normal way passengers or crew are expected to evacuate. The 737 MAX has designated emergency exits, cockpit access points and other emergency-access provisions.

So if you ever wondered why there’s an axe in an airliner cockpit — now you know.

And yes, this is the kind of piece of aviation equipment most passengers probably never notice.

Would you have guessed that a 737 MAX carries a crash axe in the cockpit?

Is this a exclusive Dubai Air feature
Water cups come with a special adhesive to prevent it from moving in case the plane goes nose down : unsure :

Our resident expert said: "But the 14000ft dive in 29 seconds didn't even disturb the passengers' drinks!? :unsure: They would have to have entered the dive so gently as to maintain near positive 1G and pulled out of it the same, but then how did it cause enough stress to rip of the vertical stabilizer control surface?"

So that is why I asked.

If it were me the vodka would be in my belly and not in the glass. :)

You're getting there. Crudely put, recycled vodka: either p1ss yourself, or fill up empty glasses ... ;)

You just gave me a great idea. I am going to invent something that can be mounted on the back of airplane seats that can hold cups and glasses upright. It might even be useful in vehicles as well.

Not sure to call it a cup holder or a glass holder.

fcking muppet.

Rational conversation you say

What is rational is that something happened on this flight.

However in typical Israhelli fashion events are exaggerated / distorted and blown out of proportion to portray the chosen ones as victims / heroes

One example

In one interview a passenger claims to have forced the cockpit door open and over powered the co pilot

In other reports the pilot opened the door

Go back a few years to the Macabi shjtshow in the Netherlands that was started by their very own supporters.

" Pogrom " was the Israhelli call sign.
