New Delhi: A big revelation has come to light regarding Flydubai flight FZ1073 going from Dubai to Tel Aviv. According to the report, after the emergency transponder code 7500 was issued from the plane, Israel took it as a potential threat and prepared fighter planes. Code 7500 is used to indicate illegal interference or possible hijacking of an aircraft.
According to Israeli sources, after the plane suddenly descended rapidly, the Air Force tried to contact the cockpit, but did not receive a response. After this, a command center was created to monitor the situation and Israeli airspace was alerted. Meanwhile, fighter jets were sent towards the plane.
Safe emergency landing in Tabuk
According to the report, if the plane had continued moving towards Israel and the people inside could not have been contacted, the situation would have been considered extremely serious. In such a situation, military action could also be considered to stop the aircraft. However, Israel withdrew its fighter jets after the flight turned towards Saudi Arabia. The aircraft later made a safe emergency landing in Tabuk.
There was a dangerous attack in the cockpit
On September 30, in this flydubai flight, Omani co-pilot Hamam al-Hammami attacked Indian Captain Smit Machar. After the attack the plane descended rapidly and lost thousands of feet of altitude in a short time. Despite being seriously injured, Captain Machar managed to open the cockpit door. After this the passengers and crew members controlled the attacker. Other pilots on board took control and the flight was diverted to Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the role of Captain Machar and the passengers, calling the incident a serious security threat. The investigation of this entire matter is still going on and the officials are keeping an eye on what was the motive behind the attack.
