A wounded FlyDubai captain, speaking in a live video call, recounts how he tried to regain control of a flight after being stabbed by his co-pilot, saying he focused on saving passengers. The account describes a fight to manage the situation as the incident unfolds.
The reports all describe the same core events: a stabbing of the captain by the co-pilot and the captain’s effort to prevent further harm. They also frame the captain’s comments as coming directly from his testimony during the video call. While the outlets vary in wording, the emphasis remains on the captain’s role in stopping what is described as an apparent attempt to crash the aircraft, and on his decision to push through his injuries to protect passengers.
No additional details beyond the stabbing and the captain’s recovery efforts are provided in the excerpts, and none of the outlets’ summaries include specific investigative findings or outcomes. The situation is presented primarily through the captain’s first-person account of events in-flight.
