What unfolded on FlyDubai Flight 1073 genuinely mimic a high-stakes Hollywood action thriller.
Its timeline is like a movie script.
1. The kid went to bathroom and heard the noise - the struggle between 2 pilots. Then told her mom.
2. The seriously wounded pilot managed to touch the switch to unlock cockpit door before losing consciousness, leaving the last chance for those outside to step in.
3. The plumber who subdued the attacker pulled plane out of dive. He never flew airplane before. He did it just from watching those tv shows and he has strong arms to do it.
4. Two professional pilots from same airline FlyDubai happened to be on the plane. They stabilized the heavily damaged aircraft, and executed a safe emergency landing.
Everything is accidental like a movie. But it is real. Real cinematic-level heroes and real happy ending in a terrifying real-life event.
