Netanyahu: 'Passengers prevented a major disaster'

Prime Minister says pilot who stabbed fellow pilot apparently attempted to crash plane: 'The passengers who neutralized him saved many lives and prevented a major disaster.'

The Prime Minister said he spoke with one of the Israeli passengers aboard the aircraft and heard from him about the dramatic moments during the incident.

According to Netanyahu, the passenger told him that the aircraft went into a spin and began to dive. The passenger managed to break into the cockpit together with a crew member, and the two neutralized the pilot who carried out the stabbing as he was attempting, according to the Prime Minister, to sabotage the aircraft's systems.
