Pilot opened cockpit door during mid-flight attack, Dubai-Israel route
Original: I opened cockpit door while being attacked, says pilot of Dubai-Israel flight
A pilot on a flight between Dubai and Israel says he opened the cockpit door while being attacked by a disruptive passenger mid-flight, a move that would normally breach strict aviation security rules. He said it was a last resort to escape the assault and regain control of the situation. The account has prompted debate among aviators and travellers about cockpit security protocols and how airlines handle unruly passengers.
Why now: The unusual admission that a pilot broke a core security rule to protect himself during an in-flight assault has sparked discussion about aviation safety and unruly passengers.
