A pilot on an Israel-bound flight stabbed another pilot and "apparently tried to crash the plane", Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has said. The plane was travelling from Dubai to Tel Aviv when it plummeted 17,000ft (5,200m) in less than two minutes, before being diverted to Saudi Arabia. Another passenger reported "terrible screams throughout the plane" before "three to five guys burst into the cockpit" and subdued an attacker. The video is an eyewitness account of the incident; the motive remains unknown at this time.
