Questions about the motive of the co-pilot who tried to crash a packed flight from Dubai to Israel continue to swirl.
New video of the FlyDubai on-board stabbing shows Capt. Smit Machchhar, the pilot hailed as a hero, unlocking the cockpit door and asking for help. This allowed a small group of passengers to push in, pull up on the controls and then subdue the attacker with cords from a headset. Imtiaz Tyab reports.
Details are still forthcoming as the investigation continues into the cockpit attack on an Israel-bound FlyDubai flight Wednesday. CBS News' Matt Gutman reports.
Alex Bystram, the show's executive producer, said he did not expect someone to use what they saw in the series in a real-life scenario, but it was "a fantastic byproduct."
Israel leader Benjamin Netanyahu says the FlyDubai co-pilot who allegedly stabbed the captain and tried to crash the plane had undergone "Islamist radical indoctrination."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicated to CBS News that the motive of the Flydubai co-pilot accused of stabbing his fellow pilot on a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv is still unknown.
Passenger Ron Levi tells CBS News the attempted hijack of a Dubai-to-Israel flight was "the scariest thing possible."
