WEBVTT - Terror Over Jordan 0:00:00.090 --> 0:00:04.809 Okay, my friends, nothing short of a miracle. In fact, 0:00:05.290 --> 0:00:07.290 if you want to get technical about it, there were 0:00:07.310 --> 0:00:11.230 at least two miracles that took place yesterday in this 0:00:11.490 --> 0:00:22.680 absolutely incredible story how Israel barely averted a 9-11-style jihadist 0:00:22.940 --> 0:00:27.930 terrorist attack. So here is now the absolute latest on 0:00:27.990 --> 0:00:32.430 what transpired. And this is going to be a Hollywood movie. 0:00:32.570 --> 0:00:35.989 It should be a Hollywood movie. So here is exactly 0:00:36.050 --> 0:00:42.010 what happened. A Fly Dubai flight. And that's literally what's 0:00:42.030 --> 0:00:47.080 the name of the airplane. It's Fly Dubai. And they 0:00:47.530 --> 0:00:51.680 fly from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates to Tel 0:00:51.740 --> 0:00:55.900 Aviv in Israel. They have several connections every single day. 0:00:56.920 --> 0:01:00.190 And they were on a flight carrying over 170 Israeli 0:01:00.230 --> 0:01:10.220 passengers and crew members, 27 of them children. about two 0:01:10.260 --> 0:01:13.000 and a half hours, actually more, two hours and 15 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:18.380 minutes into the flight, all of a sudden, the plane 0:01:18.700 --> 0:01:26.310 nosedived about 15,000 to 16,000 feet. And it took about 0:01:26.350 --> 0:01:30.210 maybe two minutes. And the plane just started to go 0:01:30.290 --> 0:01:37.700 right down. Passengers began yelling, screaming, screaming. There was panic 0:01:37.980 --> 0:01:42.030 among some of the passengers. People thought something is wrong. 0:01:42.170 --> 0:01:45.729 The plane is going down. But then they began to 0:01:45.810 --> 0:01:54.930 hear blood, blood, blood, stabbing, stabbing, stabbing. And what in 0:01:55.070 --> 0:02:00.300 fact was really transpiring was that inside, at the time, 0:02:00.530 --> 0:02:07.870 the locked cockpit, the co-pilot of this flight, Apparently now 0:02:08.450 --> 0:02:12.730 a national from Oman, which is a Muslim country, heavily 0:02:12.770 --> 0:02:19.810 Muslim country, was stabbing the captain of the flight, the 0:02:19.850 --> 0:02:24.710 captain pilot, who is of Indian descent. He's an Indian national. 0:02:26.790 --> 0:02:31.540 And he was stabbing and trying to murder, massacre the 0:02:31.700 --> 0:02:35.900 Indian captain in order to take control of the plane. 0:02:36.910 --> 0:02:41.490 and then crash it somewhere on the ground, killing all 0:02:41.550 --> 0:02:45.959 the passengers on the plane and killing whatever the plane 0:02:46.020 --> 0:02:50.419 hit on the ground. Now, I want to stress that 0:02:50.820 --> 0:02:56.459 had this co-pilot been successful, this hijacker, had this hijacker 0:02:56.520 --> 0:03:01.350 been successful, we're not just looking at over 170 dead 0:03:01.470 --> 0:03:08.010 Israeli Jews. but we are looking at a massive international 0:03:08.110 --> 0:03:12.489 incident that could have led to a global conflict. In 0:03:12.570 --> 0:03:17.050 other words, as the Israeli media is rightly saying, this 0:03:17.130 --> 0:03:23.430 would have been the Middle East equivalent of 9-11. By 0:03:23.490 --> 0:03:26.350 the grace of God, and this is the first miracle, 0:03:27.750 --> 0:03:34.850 the pilot, the Indian captain, despite being stabbed repeatedly, and 0:03:34.910 --> 0:03:37.280 he now, by the way, is fighting for his very life, 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:46.700 somehow managed to unlock the cockpit door. He then pushed 0:03:46.740 --> 0:03:51.970 the cockpit door open and yelled that there was a 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:59.030 hijacker in the cockpit, the co-pilot. He collapsed to the ground. 0:04:01.330 --> 0:04:06.550 At that moment... There was an Israeli plumber. You can't 0:04:06.590 --> 0:04:10.210 make this up. He's a plumber. That's his job. That's 0:04:10.250 --> 0:04:14.950 his profession. He was on the flight with his wife 0:04:15.090 --> 0:04:23.490 and two daughters, Yaniv Hayun, in the 16th row. He 0:04:23.589 --> 0:04:29.880 heard the pilot yell, stabbing, stabbing, stabbing, and then yelling 0:04:29.940 --> 0:04:39.770 as well, hijacker. He then ran to the cockpit immediately, instinctively, 0:04:40.630 --> 0:04:47.590 without even thinking. And he confronted the hijacker co-pilot, who 0:04:47.650 --> 0:04:50.430 he says, when he went into the cockpit, was in 0:04:50.470 --> 0:04:55.110 the process of trying to destroy the plane's control panels. 0:04:55.950 --> 0:04:59.770 In other words, smash the panels. Nobody could then take 0:04:59.870 --> 0:05:03.130 over the plane. The plane was heading down. It would 0:05:03.150 --> 0:05:07.169 have crashed, and it would have been, we're looking at hundreds, 0:05:07.589 --> 0:05:12.120 God knows how many more dead. He then grabbed him 0:05:12.380 --> 0:05:18.159 in a chokehold and then managed to wrestle the co-pilot, 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:23.040 the terrorist. He managed to wrestle the terrorist from the 0:05:23.140 --> 0:05:29.500 airplane cockpit. telling other passengers that there was a hijacking, 0:05:30.060 --> 0:05:33.220 that the captain had been stabbed badly, that the plane 0:05:33.339 --> 0:05:38.470 is going to go down. Other passengers then, four of them, 0:05:38.510 --> 0:05:42.740 in fact, along with a crew member, then rushed toward 0:05:42.750 --> 0:05:46.680 the front of the plane and they grabbed this co-pilot, 0:05:47.260 --> 0:05:49.840 restrained him. I think they probably beat him up a 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:53.280 little bit. And then they held him back. And then 0:05:53.680 --> 0:06:00.320 here it is. Miracle numero uno. Yaniv Heian... He did 0:06:00.380 --> 0:06:03.020 serve in the IDF. Everybody in Israel has to serve 0:06:03.060 --> 0:06:06.220 in the military. So he has a military background. But 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.760 he watches a show. You can't make this up. I'm 0:06:09.820 --> 0:06:12.940 telling you, I'm not exaggerating for effect. This is what 0:06:12.980 --> 0:06:17.050 he's been telling the Israeli media. He watches a weekly show, 0:06:17.690 --> 0:06:23.150 which is apparently popular on Israel television. Something about May 0:06:23.190 --> 0:06:28.380 Day crashes. In other words, planes that have been taken over, 0:06:28.500 --> 0:06:31.240 planes that have been hijacked, planes where you have to 0:06:31.260 --> 0:06:34.659 break into the cockpit. And so by watching the show, 0:06:37.260 --> 0:06:41.340 he goes back into the cockpit and he grabs the stick, 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:47.820 the controls. And like what he saw on television every week, 0:06:48.260 --> 0:06:52.610 he just pulled it way back. In other words, to 0:06:52.690 --> 0:06:56.590 prevent the flight's descent, which would have been to everyone's 0:06:56.650 --> 0:07:02.669 certain death, to then stabilize the plane. So he yanks 0:07:02.770 --> 0:07:06.850 back on the controls and he's just yanking back. And 0:07:07.330 --> 0:07:11.190 by doing that, he prevented the plane from literally spinning 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:15.100 and spiraling out of control where everybody would have been killed. 0:07:15.780 --> 0:07:21.310 They have now subdued the co-pilot. By the grace of God, 0:07:21.870 --> 0:07:27.710 here came the second miracle. There were several off-duty pilots 0:07:28.370 --> 0:07:35.650 on board this flight. Fly Dubai 1703. They were the 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:41.080 crew that was scheduled to fly back from Tel Aviv 0:07:41.580 --> 0:07:46.470 to Dubai. So they just sit as passengers, relax. The 0:07:46.510 --> 0:07:49.050 plane lands in Tel Aviv. Then they were scheduled to 0:07:49.110 --> 0:07:51.350 be the next crew that was to be then the 0:07:51.390 --> 0:07:54.710 pilots and the crew to fly back to Dubai. They 0:07:54.770 --> 0:07:58.550 then rushed to the front of the cockpit and then 0:07:58.630 --> 0:08:05.210 they took over the plane. Now, even then, because the 0:08:05.270 --> 0:08:12.470 plane had descended so quickly, 15, 16, 18,000 feet, At 0:08:12.530 --> 0:08:17.860 that speed, at that altitude, it had damaged the rudders 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:23.900 on the plane, which really almost paralyzes the plane, having 0:08:23.980 --> 0:08:28.760 side-to-side movement. The plane is a damaged plane, and it's 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:35.570 out of control. They managed to stabilize the flight. and 0:08:35.630 --> 0:08:40.520 they brought the plane down. They successfully did an emergency 0:08:40.580 --> 0:08:45.160 landing in Saudi Arabia, right on the border with Jordan, 0:08:45.740 --> 0:08:52.890 at some place called Tarkuk Airport. What is incredible about 0:08:53.070 --> 0:08:59.270 all of this is that none of the passengers were hurt. 0:09:01.500 --> 0:09:06.100 All of them are alive and well, They were then 0:09:06.220 --> 0:09:10.650 picked up by a replacement plane by Fly Dubai, and 0:09:10.690 --> 0:09:15.350 they were flown into Ben Gurion Airport, escorted by Israeli 0:09:15.429 --> 0:09:19.790 fighter jets, and then they landed to a hero's welcome, 0:09:20.490 --> 0:09:27.130 a hero's welcome in Tel Aviv. It is a miracle. 0:09:27.910 --> 0:09:31.559 that they survived. It is a miracle the plane did 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:36.180 not go down. It is a miracle that this attempted 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:42.490 hijacking and terrorist attack did not succeed. The captain who 0:09:42.510 --> 0:09:45.830 has been badly stabbed was being treated on the plane 0:09:45.910 --> 0:09:49.910 by several of the passengers, one of them apparently a dentist. 0:09:51.030 --> 0:09:55.360 who knows something about emergency first aid. He did everything 0:09:55.420 --> 0:09:58.570 he could to try to stop some of the bleeding. However, 0:09:58.710 --> 0:10:00.920 if you've seen some of the pictures, and the videos, 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:08.530 there was blood everywhere. Blood inside the cockpit. Blood all 0:10:08.610 --> 0:10:12.930 over the captain who had been stabbed. Blood on the co-pilot. 0:10:13.570 --> 0:10:17.470 Blood on this plumber hero. His shirt is stained. His 0:10:17.550 --> 0:10:23.570 pants are full of blood. Yaniv Hayun. It was bedlam 0:10:23.690 --> 0:10:27.850 in the sky. Many of the passengers said they were 0:10:27.910 --> 0:10:31.870 convinced they were going to die. They were convinced it 0:10:31.910 --> 0:10:36.350 was going to be Israel's 9-11. They were convinced that 0:10:36.390 --> 0:10:39.300 they were going to all perish, all of them together. 0:10:40.340 --> 0:10:46.870 And so the question now is, The story itself of heroism, bravery, 0:10:46.970 --> 0:10:52.750 and courage is inspiring and incredible. Okay. By the grace 0:10:52.790 --> 0:10:54.970 of God, and it really was the hand of God, 0:10:55.010 --> 0:10:59.099 I believe, that prevented this could have been, this would 0:10:59.130 --> 0:11:02.790 have been Israel's 9-11. I think there's no question about it. 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:06.480 So I want you to listen now to President Trump 0:11:07.620 --> 0:11:12.800 speaking to reporters about on the attempted hijacking on the 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:19.580 flight Dubai 1703 flight. Roll cut one, a mic. 0:11:23.900 --> 0:11:28.590 I think it's an incredible story. It seems, I mean, 0:11:28.620 --> 0:11:30.589 I can relate the story, but you're better off getting 0:11:30.630 --> 0:11:33.410 it from him. But by this time, I guess you 0:11:33.429 --> 0:11:35.630 have a lot of fake stories out there and you 0:11:35.670 --> 0:11:40.350 never know what's happening. But I did speak to Bibi 0:11:40.390 --> 0:11:44.290 Netanyahu at length about this event. And it seems as 0:11:44.370 --> 0:11:51.020 though the co-pilot was perhaps a terrorist or perhaps a 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:56.700 whack job. And he stabbed the pilot. The pilot was 0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:00.239 in very bad shape. I guess he still is in 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:05.300 very bad shape. But he had the sense to amazing to. 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:06.340 In a way, he was a hero. 0:12:07.370 --> 0:12:09.990 To open the door, you know, those doors are solid steel. 0:12:10.030 --> 0:12:12.989 You can't get them open from outside. He was able 0:12:13.010 --> 0:12:15.150 to fall back and get the door open and scream. 0:12:16.309 --> 0:12:19.670 He's completely right, you know, and scream for help. You know, 0:12:19.690 --> 0:12:22.910 I mean, look, to me, Yaniv Hayun is a hero. 0:12:22.990 --> 0:12:25.850 There's no question. He's just going by Yaniv, by the way. 0:12:26.670 --> 0:12:29.590 It's become like, you know, his first name. And everybody's 0:12:29.630 --> 0:12:33.240 calling him Yaniv. He's a hero in Israel. Globally, people 0:12:33.290 --> 0:12:36.530 are celebrating him, and they should. This man ran from 0:12:36.550 --> 0:12:39.770 the 16th row to defend his wife, defend his children, 0:12:40.470 --> 0:12:43.490 defend all the passengers on that flight, and was the 0:12:43.630 --> 0:12:49.210 one that put the co-pilot, the attacker, the hijacker, you know, 0:12:49.250 --> 0:12:54.410 in a chokehold, got him out and went back in himself. 0:12:54.510 --> 0:12:57.339 And as I said, just yanked back on the stick, 0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:01.460 on the controls, thereby, you know, for temporarily anyway, starting 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:04.260 to stabilize the plane a little bit and preventing the nosedive. 0:13:05.140 --> 0:13:07.900 Because that nosedive, had it kept going down, that's it. 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.500 The plane would have started to break up and then 0:13:11.540 --> 0:13:13.750 they would have crashed and it would have been, I mean, 0:13:13.790 --> 0:13:16.470 it would have been a massacre. It would have been 0:13:16.490 --> 0:13:20.670 an absolute atrocity. So nothing to take away from the hero. 0:13:20.730 --> 0:13:23.610 He was incredible. But this is a pilot that was 0:13:23.730 --> 0:13:27.200 stabbed over and over. You see the pictures. I don't 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:29.940 want to be gloom about this, but he's going to 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:32.340 have a hard time recovering. I hope he does. He's 0:13:32.380 --> 0:13:35.860 in my thoughts and prayers. BB said he was a hero, 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:40.650 this captain pilot, saying that without him, all of them 0:13:40.690 --> 0:13:44.760 would be dead. There's no question. But he was stabbed 0:13:45.020 --> 0:13:50.500 and stabbed and stabbed. He managed to struggle with the co-pilot. 0:13:51.020 --> 0:13:53.770 He fought him off for a while. He was losing 0:13:53.809 --> 0:13:57.010 a lot of blood. He managed to get to the 0:13:57.090 --> 0:14:01.459 door of the cockpit, opened the cockpit barely. and start 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.099 yelling out for help and warning people that there's a 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:09.880 hijacker and that he was stabbed. And that's when people 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:14.849 saw blood. Immediately, the moment the cockpit door opened, witnesses, 0:14:14.929 --> 0:14:20.030 passengers say, the captain pilot was covered in blood and 0:14:20.050 --> 0:14:23.820 you could see blood even inside the cockpit, full, full 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:27.840 of blood everywhere. And blood oozing now onto the plane. 0:14:29.020 --> 0:14:33.470 And that's when Yaniv Hayun, you know, jumped into action. 0:14:33.910 --> 0:14:37.070 There were about three or four other Israeli passengers, all 0:14:37.090 --> 0:14:41.350 of the men who jumped into action and one crew member. 0:14:42.470 --> 0:14:47.550 And that's when they really subdued the co-pilot. They put 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:50.380 him in a kitchen area. Apparently they held him down. 0:14:50.420 --> 0:14:54.080 They restrained him. And then that's when Yaniv went back 0:14:54.180 --> 0:14:58.140 in to stabilize the plane. And then two off-duty pilots, 0:14:58.340 --> 0:15:01.000 by the grace of God, were there on the flight. 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:04.180 And they came over and said, hey, look, we're licensed pilots. 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:06.260 In fact, we're the crew that's going to fly this, 0:15:06.740 --> 0:15:08.990 you know, was scheduled to fly the plane back from 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:14.050 Tel Aviv to Dubai. So they took over and they 0:15:14.090 --> 0:15:19.290 had to maneuver and use all of their skills, all 0:15:19.310 --> 0:15:23.410 of their training, to prevent the flight from spinning out 0:15:23.450 --> 0:15:28.410 of control, breaking apart, and making a successful emergency landing. 0:15:29.620 --> 0:15:33.560 It's truly, it's a miracle from A to Z. Now, 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:39.260 listen to President Trump saying that had it not been 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:43.500 for the heroic actions first of the pilot, who managed 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:48.960 to open the cockpit door barely, and now, of course, 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:54.670 this plumber, we would have had a 9-11 for Israel. 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:59.600 It would have been Israel's 9-11. Roll cut 1A, Mike. 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:05.859 An Israeli plumber never flew a plane. He was rarely 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:10.800 in planes, very rarely flew. An Israeli plumber saw what 0:16:10.850 --> 0:16:13.490 was happening and strong. You know, when you lift pipe 0:16:13.550 --> 0:16:16.610 all day, you're strong. And he saw what was going 0:16:16.710 --> 0:16:19.790 on and he heard the screaming. He was toward the front. 0:16:20.890 --> 0:16:22.630 where you had security in the back, you know, you 0:16:22.650 --> 0:16:26.340 had security, and you had another flight crew, but they 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:29.300 didn't have time. The plane was going sharply down at 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:32.000 an unbelievable angle, so sharp that the rudder ripped off 0:16:32.020 --> 0:16:34.140 the back of the plane. The plane wasn't designed to 0:16:34.180 --> 0:16:39.020 go at a speed anywhere near that. And so it 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:42.340 was well beyond its limits. And he ripped, with the 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:44.800 G-forces as they were, he ripped this guy out of 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:47.320 the seat, threw him back. The crowd got him. The 0:16:47.700 --> 0:16:54.140 passengers got him, grabbed him. And having never flown a plane, 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:59.480 he took the stick, lifted it up, and leveled out 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:00.800 the plane before it crashed. 0:17:03.020 --> 0:17:05.300 I'm telling you, this is only in the movies. I mean, 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:08.560 obviously it's in real life now, but only in the movies. 0:17:09.830 --> 0:17:14.070 And so I want to ask all of you, what 0:17:14.090 --> 0:17:18.530 do you make of this? That's obviously number one. Number two. 0:17:20.070 --> 0:17:24.840 Do you believe this was an attempted terrorist act? Okay, 0:17:25.230 --> 0:17:30.060 these are the passengers on that infamous now Dubai, fly 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:36.970 Dubai 1703 flight. Now, they're celebrating after they've seen that 0:17:37.030 --> 0:17:42.260 this hijacker, the co-pilot, has been subdued. Now, they're still 0:17:42.300 --> 0:17:47.410 in a very serious situation, crisis situation. The captain pilot 0:17:47.650 --> 0:17:53.330 is stabbed and bleeding profusely. They've now removed this terrorist 0:17:54.130 --> 0:18:01.670 from the cockpit, the co-pilot. And the plumber, Yaniv, is 0:18:01.930 --> 0:18:05.220 trying to stabilize the plane, but they don't know if 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:07.859 they're going to land. They don't know what's going to happen. 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:10.520 Are they just going to be suspended in the air 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:14.800 and then eventually crash? But at least they know that 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:23.330 the attempted hijacker has been neutralized and subdued. Roll cut 20, Mike. 0:18:31.940 --> 0:18:36.879 They're clapping. So it's like, okay, we got one miracle. 0:18:37.300 --> 0:18:40.160 Now we need a second miracle. Now, let me just 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:41.780 make a few more points, and then I want to 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:44.100 go right to the phone lines. A couple lines are 0:18:44.220 --> 0:18:50.260 open if you want to jump on. 617-266-6868 is the number. 0:18:51.619 --> 0:18:54.740 What struck me right away when I look at the 0:18:54.820 --> 0:18:59.140 video footage in particular is the plane starts to go down. 0:19:00.430 --> 0:19:03.550 You can tell, people know something is wrong. It's dropping very, 0:19:03.590 --> 0:19:07.430 very quick. President Trump was completely right. The rudder had 0:19:07.490 --> 0:19:11.470 torn off from the plane, which makes it almost very 0:19:11.540 --> 0:19:15.000 difficult to move side to side. Had the tail ripped 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:17.419 off as well, it would have been impossible then to 0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:22.199 guide and land the plane. So there was tremendous structural 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:27.040 damage to the plane because it plunged that quickly and 0:19:27.100 --> 0:19:30.940 it dropped that many feet that fast. Planes are just 0:19:31.010 --> 0:19:37.050 not designed to handle that kind of G-force, that kind 0:19:37.090 --> 0:19:42.590 of shock and pressure and force onto the structure of 0:19:42.650 --> 0:19:46.930 a plane. So people knew right away, people were crying. 0:19:47.130 --> 0:19:49.730 Some people were, you know, they thought it was over. 0:19:49.940 --> 0:19:52.919 In fact, they openly said so afterwards. They said, I 0:19:53.140 --> 0:19:54.800 said to myself, I'm going to die. This is going 0:19:54.820 --> 0:19:57.739 to be another 9-11. I'm going to die and my 0:19:57.780 --> 0:19:59.750 life is over and there's nothing I can do about it. 0:20:00.900 --> 0:20:08.070 But what struck me was how cool and calm so many, 0:20:08.130 --> 0:20:12.890 especially of the men, on board the plane, some women too, 0:20:12.990 --> 0:20:16.330 to be fair, but the men in particular, now I'm thinking, 0:20:16.390 --> 0:20:19.530 is it their IDF training? Is it the fact that 0:20:20.070 --> 0:20:22.990 Israeli men have to serve in the military? Is it 0:20:23.030 --> 0:20:26.109 the fact that you live in Israel and you're constantly 0:20:26.190 --> 0:20:32.510 surrounded by terrorism and terrorists? And so the situational awareness 0:20:32.550 --> 0:20:36.270 to me was incredible. The plane starts to go down 0:20:37.310 --> 0:20:40.040 And right away, like this, you know, you can see 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:43.740 Yaniv in one of the videos and he's like looking left, 0:20:43.780 --> 0:20:46.560 looking right. He then turns around to his family with 0:20:46.619 --> 0:20:49.560 a finger, like stay there, like stay calm, like don't move. 0:20:50.900 --> 0:20:54.699 And then he just calmly takes his seatbelt off. And 0:20:54.740 --> 0:20:59.240 you could tell he's immediately into, he's like a high alert, 0:20:59.300 --> 0:21:04.609 red alert. Like he's ready to move. And the moment 0:21:04.630 --> 0:21:07.170 he heard stabbing, stabbing, you just see him rush off 0:21:07.850 --> 0:21:10.150 to the front of the plane, obviously where the cockpit was. 0:21:10.710 --> 0:21:15.229 And you see other Israeli men following. You know, Yaniv 0:21:15.250 --> 0:21:18.650 was first, but you saw other passengers following him. So 0:21:19.270 --> 0:21:26.490 how calm, how cool, how alert they were, how they 0:21:26.530 --> 0:21:29.970 displayed almost no panic whatsoever. I'm talking about the men 0:21:30.010 --> 0:21:34.649 who rushed to cockpit. Displayed no panic whatsoever. It's as 0:21:34.770 --> 0:21:36.550 if I'm looking at this and I'm like, is it 0:21:36.609 --> 0:21:39.530 because they've just they're so used to living with the 0:21:39.609 --> 0:21:44.399 potential menace of terrorism that they're aware of their surroundings, 0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:48.640 you know, you know, 24 hours a day, seven days 0:21:48.660 --> 0:21:55.880 a week, nonstop. Because the reaction time was just simply incredible. 0:21:55.920 --> 0:22:00.179 It was almost superhuman. To me, that's one of the 0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:03.130 things that stood out. The other thing that stood out 0:22:04.490 --> 0:22:09.710 was the pluck of the Israelis, the courage, the bravery, 0:22:11.030 --> 0:22:16.070 the determination. I mean, they are very tough people. I mean, 0:22:16.109 --> 0:22:20.560 there's no question about it. They didn't panic. They took 0:22:20.630 --> 0:22:23.959 over that plane. They took care of the, you know, 0:22:24.020 --> 0:22:26.680 they were trying to save the life of the captain pilot. 0:22:27.300 --> 0:22:31.980 They restrained and held down the co-pilot. Another one was 0:22:32.060 --> 0:22:35.210 bleeding from the forehead. One of the passengers, I guess 0:22:35.230 --> 0:22:38.550 he was scuffling and fighting with the co-pilot who, you know, 0:22:38.590 --> 0:22:41.890 had a knife and was, you know, stabbing people. He's 0:22:41.930 --> 0:22:45.690 got blood dripping down his forehead and he just goes 0:22:45.780 --> 0:22:50.220 on social media, very calm, Just, you know, almost like 0:22:50.240 --> 0:22:54.510 another day in the life of Israel. And he's just 0:22:54.590 --> 0:22:57.750 calmly saying, we've had a hijacker. This is an attempted 0:22:57.810 --> 0:23:01.310 terrorist takeover of the plane. His goal was clearly to 0:23:01.369 --> 0:23:04.930 crash the plane and kill us on board. Don't worry, 0:23:05.010 --> 0:23:09.450 we have subdued him. We think the situation now is stabilized. However, 0:23:09.510 --> 0:23:13.150 the plane has been badly damaged. We do have two pilots, 0:23:13.730 --> 0:23:16.210 off-duty pilots, who are now trying to guide the plane 0:23:16.270 --> 0:23:18.449 and land it. But he says, you know, we are 0:23:18.510 --> 0:23:22.860 in trouble and we need help. So if you're getting this, please. 0:23:23.260 --> 0:23:26.240 And he gives the details of the plane. Like, you know, 0:23:26.260 --> 0:23:29.900 like notify authorities because we need help. But it was 0:23:29.940 --> 0:23:34.840 the way he said it. He was so matter of fact. 0:23:35.859 --> 0:23:43.719 No hysteria, no panic, just so calm. I have to 0:23:43.760 --> 0:23:47.620 tell you. And then, you know, they finally get back 0:23:47.660 --> 0:23:50.800 to Tel Aviv. They're in Saudi Arabia for about six, 0:23:50.840 --> 0:23:55.120 seven hours. The Saudis are interrogating and interviewing the passengers, 0:23:55.180 --> 0:24:00.100 the crew members. By the way, the terrorist or the 0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:06.169 hijacker is being treated in Saudi Arabia. He looks like 0:24:06.210 --> 0:24:09.030 he's going to make it. It appears he's going to survive. 0:24:10.210 --> 0:24:14.550 And the Saudis are taking the lead on the investigation. 0:24:15.190 --> 0:24:20.520 Israel is apparently communicating with the Saudis, but they want 0:24:20.540 --> 0:24:24.160 to get involved as well into the investigation. I don't 0:24:24.200 --> 0:24:26.080 think they fully trust the Saudis, to be 100% honest. 0:24:27.910 --> 0:24:32.869 in terms of this investigation. But this co-pilot, the terrorist, 0:24:33.730 --> 0:24:38.350 is alive and in a hospital. The Indian, the hero, 0:24:38.450 --> 0:24:43.040 another hero, the Indian captain pilot is in very serious 0:24:43.359 --> 0:24:46.630 condition and he's fighting for his life. He's also being 0:24:46.690 --> 0:24:52.440 treated in a Saudi hospital. When the plane is picked 0:24:52.580 --> 0:24:55.260 up by a, sorry, when the passengers are picked up 0:24:55.460 --> 0:24:59.820 by a replacement plane, another fly Dubai plane, and they 0:24:59.880 --> 0:25:03.280 are then taken to Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. 0:25:04.400 --> 0:25:10.250 They land. Waiting for them was Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. 0:25:11.609 --> 0:25:15.390 And it was one of the most emotional and just 0:25:15.450 --> 0:25:21.600 incredible scenes I have ever seen, whereby Yaniv Hayyoun, the hero, 0:25:22.920 --> 0:25:27.350 with blood on his shirt, blood on his pants, Walks 0:25:27.430 --> 0:25:30.200 towards the prime minister and they're speaking in Hebrew now, 0:25:30.260 --> 0:25:34.020 but there was an English translation where he says, I 0:25:34.060 --> 0:25:38.300 want to apologize to you, Mr. Prime minister. I asked repeatedly. 0:25:38.340 --> 0:25:42.090 In fact, I asked 10 times for, to have access 0:25:42.119 --> 0:25:45.710 to my suitcase so I could be dressed appropriately for this, 0:25:46.470 --> 0:25:50.970 this moment, this meeting with you. And BB says to him, like, 0:25:51.170 --> 0:25:55.190 you have nothing to apologize for. And he says, you know, 0:25:55.350 --> 0:25:57.909 because he says, it's my honor to meet you. And 0:25:57.950 --> 0:26:01.109 Bibi says, no, no, no, no. You are the honor. 0:26:02.090 --> 0:26:06.800 You are the man everyone is honoring. You are a hero. 0:26:07.880 --> 0:26:11.480 And then he grabs him and gives him a very 0:26:11.560 --> 0:26:15.899 affectionate hug and thanks him. He says, on behalf of 0:26:16.040 --> 0:26:19.020 Israel and the Israeli people, I want to thank you. 0:26:20.460 --> 0:26:23.570 And he puts his hand behind the head of Yaniv. 0:26:25.000 --> 0:26:27.940 you know, embracing the two of them together, these two 0:26:27.980 --> 0:26:32.070 men in solidarity. And then Bibi says to him, and 0:26:32.350 --> 0:26:36.909 it's a very powerful moment, Bibi says to him, you know, 0:26:37.330 --> 0:26:40.910 what made you do it? Like, what made you react 0:26:40.990 --> 0:26:46.570 so quickly, so courageously, without thinking of yourself or, you know, 0:26:47.380 --> 0:26:53.460 without any hesitation? And Yaniv says to Bibi, we're Isrealists. 0:26:54.600 --> 0:26:59.720 We're a nation of lions, aren't we? And Bibi says 0:26:59.760 --> 0:27:05.380 to him, you are a lion. And then right away 0:27:05.400 --> 0:27:07.939 he wants to meet, you know, the wife and his wife, 0:27:08.270 --> 0:27:11.590 his daughters. He's shaking their hands. And he's just grabbing him. 0:27:11.609 --> 0:27:14.670 He says, come on, sit, sit, sit, sit. Like, tell 0:27:14.710 --> 0:27:18.410 me everything what happened. And so Yaniv is explaining all 0:27:18.450 --> 0:27:20.910 of it. And it's the part where he says, so 0:27:20.990 --> 0:27:24.540 I just ran back in. I subdued him. And he goes, 0:27:24.660 --> 0:27:27.380 I ran back in. And by the way, he tells Bibi, 0:27:27.420 --> 0:27:30.000 he goes, when I went into the cockpit initially, Bibi 0:27:30.020 --> 0:27:33.000 really wanted to know this. What did you see? And 0:27:33.020 --> 0:27:36.790 he said, I saw the co-pilot trying to smash the 0:27:36.850 --> 0:27:43.770 panels of the plane, of the control panels. And he says, 0:27:43.830 --> 0:27:47.240 I'm telling you, Prime Minister, he wanted to smash the 0:27:47.300 --> 0:27:50.780 panels because the intention was to crash the plane and 0:27:50.820 --> 0:27:54.320 kill everyone on board. And he goes, so that's why 0:27:54.359 --> 0:27:56.660 I knew I had to grab him in a chokehold immediately. 0:27:57.359 --> 0:27:59.740 And then Bibi says, but I don't get, how did 0:27:59.760 --> 0:28:01.850 you go back into the cockpit? Like, how did you 0:28:01.880 --> 0:28:04.369 know to grab the controls? And he says, oh, I 0:28:04.410 --> 0:28:09.410 watched this show on Israeli television every week. I've seen 0:28:09.450 --> 0:28:11.310 it on television. That's how you're supposed to do it. 0:28:11.609 --> 0:28:13.350 So I just went in there and I said, what 0:28:13.390 --> 0:28:16.310 the hell? Okay, let me just put my cards on 0:28:16.330 --> 0:28:19.169 the table. I think it was, well, A, it was 0:28:19.260 --> 0:28:22.300 clearly an attempt at hijacking. I think there's no question 0:28:22.340 --> 0:28:25.800 about that. I think this was clearly an act of terrorism. 0:28:26.200 --> 0:28:30.980 Absolutely no question about that. Now, the only question now is, 0:28:32.220 --> 0:28:35.660 think about it. This is a pilot mission. a pilot 0:28:35.720 --> 0:28:39.270 that works for Fly Dubai, apparently from Oman. They're not 0:28:39.290 --> 0:28:41.709 going to release the name just yet, but it's from Oman. 0:28:42.130 --> 0:28:47.270 Oman is a Muslim country, almost uniformly Muslim. So I 0:28:47.330 --> 0:28:51.930 assume this is a Muslim co-pilot. So right away I'm 0:28:51.970 --> 0:28:57.570 thinking Islamic terrorism. To me, I can't see how you 0:28:57.590 --> 0:29:01.100 read the evidence any other way. You've got a plane 0:29:01.820 --> 0:29:07.960 full of, to be blunt about it, Israeli Jews with 0:29:07.960 --> 0:29:15.040 27 kids. And, you know, you stab the captain. You 0:29:15.060 --> 0:29:18.420 want to smash the panel. You're there to crash the 0:29:18.460 --> 0:29:22.400 plane and kill everybody on board. So to me, it 0:29:22.460 --> 0:29:26.480 was clearly an act of Islamic terrorism or an attempted 0:29:26.610 --> 0:29:30.170 act of Islamic terrorism with the goal of killing as 0:29:30.250 --> 0:29:36.870 many Israelis and Jews as possible. Now, did he have help? 0:29:38.390 --> 0:29:42.780 Was there a surprise? circle or a network that helped 0:29:42.800 --> 0:29:45.840 him plan this and help him get by all the 0:29:45.880 --> 0:29:48.400 security checks you have to get through when you're a pilot? 0:29:49.700 --> 0:29:52.480 And the ultimate question is, was Iran behind it? Now, 0:29:52.560 --> 0:29:58.400 Iran denies it, obviously. My suspicion is I think the 0:29:58.460 --> 0:30:03.570 Iranians were behind it. I see what happened now. And just, 0:30:03.610 --> 0:30:05.470
