UAE: Flydubai Co-Pilot Used Axe in Suspected Terror Attack
Please tell me the crew training includes handling such extreme emergencies. Scary stuff.
Suspected terrorism? Or a mental health crisis? The distinction matters for the investigation.
I fly with Flydubai often. This news is deeply disturbing and I hope everyone is okay.
This is absolutely terrifying. How does someone even get an axe on board?
