Passengers Recall Sickening Plunge, Screams During Flydubai Plane Hijacking: ‘I was just sure I was going to die’

Passengers aboard the flydubai plane at the center of a suspected terrorist attack described the chaos on board as a bloody mess as they thanked the heroes who helped avert a tragedy on Wednesday.

Miriam Ohayon, whose brother was killed in the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack, said all hell broke loose on board when Flight 1073 began to nosedive en-route to Tel Aviv.

After the flight captain, Smit Machchhar, released the cockpit doors, Ohayon recalled the shrieks of terror at the sight of the bloody pilot.

“We heard screams on the plane, and when they opened the cockpit, there was a lot of blood,” she told Israel’s Channel 24.

Fellow passenger Mika Bauman said the feeling of the plane losing some 18,000 feet was a million times worse than a drop on a rollercoaster.

“I was just sure I was going to die,” she told CNN. “You’re just siting there and accepting your fate.” (Read more from “Passengers Recall Sickening Plunge, Screams During Flydubai Plane Hijacking: ‘I was just sure I was going to die’” HERE)
