Co-pilot stabs plane captain mid-flight in suspected terror attack
Original: Co-pilot stabs plane captain mid-flight in possible 'terror attack,' officials say
Officials say a co-pilot stabbed the captain of a passenger plane during a flight, in what investigators are treating as a possible terror attack. The incident has raised urgent questions about cockpit security and crew vetting. Authorities have not yet detailed the pilot's condition, the airline involved, or the flight's route and destination.
Why now: An act of violence by a crew member mid-flight, framed by officials as a possible terror attack, is a rare and alarming aviation security breach.
