A pilot stabs the other pilot and tries to crash their flight to Tel Aviv, Israel says

 Hmmm, one pilot armed with a knife couldn't take out even one pilot in the cockpit, but on 9/11, this happened on 3 separate flights without any pilots signaling distress?

 Very strange.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — A copilot stabbed a captain in an apparent attempt to crash a jetliner as it was flying 174 people to Israel on Wednesday. 

But passengers burst into the cockpit and wrestled with the attacker even as the plane descended sharply, witnesses and Israel’s government said. The plane made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia. The shaken passengers from the FlyDubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv landed Wednesday evening in Israel on another flight, as onlookers cheered. Israel’s emergency services said they treated three passengers with minor injuries. It was not clear what motivated the attack, which led Israel to scramble warplanes amid concerns about a possible hijacking. In a CNN interview aired on Wednesday evening, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the attacker was an Omani national and was being interrogated in Saudi Arabia, where he was arrested.

Curious that they would allow an Omani pilot to fly into Israel, or even a Dubai/UAE airlines plane to go into Israel.
