>> With Hashem's loving grace, this is
Laser Brody from Ashdod in the beautiful
Mediterranean coast in the south of
Israel with a special Chol HaMoed Sukkot
broadcast. This now Hashanah Rabbah in
Israel and reflect on the fantastic
miracles that Hashem did. We spent all
night long just saying thank you to
Hashem for the miracles of what Hashem
avoided could have been Israel's version
of 9/11 when Wednesday morning a flight
from Dubai in the UAE, that's the United
Arab Emirates, flight 10, Fly Dubai
flight 1073 was on its way to Tel Aviv
when the co-pilot who was a frenzied
jihadi indoctrinated uh
co-pilot from uh Oman in the Gulf,
he tried to hijack the plane.
He took a hatchet that was in the
in the cockpit and he attacked the
pilot, a brave Captain Smith Muchacha
from Bombay, India,
who worked for the airline, and he tried
to attack the pilot, to neutralize the
pilot, and his plan was to ditch the
plane, make a suicide uh
a suicide
destruction of the plane, self-destruct,
killing himself and the six crew
members, the 174 passengers, most of
whom were Israelis.
But Hashem didn't let that happen and a
series of miracles that happened,
amazing miracles that we just cannot
stop saying thank you for, thank you to
Hashem.
After they understand what happened, try
to understand after the smoke has
cleared
a little bit, the co-pilot is in captive
is Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is
wouldn't release him to the Israelis.
He's now being interrogated in Saudi
Arabia. There are indications that is
connected with Iran that was an Iran
initiated with one of Iran's proxies. Uh
connection that the Iran initiated that
there all types of in intel reports that
they plan to do not nice things during
this upcoming Shabbat. Upcoming Shabbat
is exactly 3 years after Simchas Torah
which also landed on the Shabbat this
year. It's also tomorrow on Shabbat.
And uh
both Hashem both Hashem Hashem had
compassion for us and with miracle after
miracle so see what happened. What
happened when the flight was in about
8:00 on Wednesday morning, 8:00 Israel
time.
8:00 [clears throat] Israel time that is
in Greenwich mean that's uh
6:00 a.m. in the UK Greenwich mean which
is about 2:00 a.m. in in New York.
Excuse me, 1:00 a.m. in New York.
That the flight took off from
Dubai on its way to Israel.
When it was over
slightly over Saudi airspace
the co-pilot attacked the pilot. And he
wounded him very badly. The pilot
amazingly heroically fought back. Not
only he fought back but they used to
when they when they locked the the
cockpit door then anybody can go inside
the cockpit it's locked.
The pilot managed to open the cockpit
door. When he opened the cockpit door
three Israelis they stormed the cockpit.
And one of the Israelis was a a plumber
>> [clears throat]
>> tremendous hero during the emergency
Yaniv Hayun. He was together with a
doctor with a doctor dentist who did
first aid and saved the the pilot's life
the first aid on pilot. And a third a
third Israeli that also helped seize the
pilot. Well, Yaniv Hayun he's took it
put the pilot in a chokehold and with
the one free hand he managed to pull
back on the throttle what the pilot had
done the co-pilot had done. He put the
pilot into an into a dive. He tell her
what the ruckus in the cockpit.
The plane took a tremendous nose dive.
The plane was flying There's one report
says it was 30,000 ft high. Another said
it was at a cruising altitude of 34,000
ft. 34,000 ft would be even a bigger
miracle, but let's say it was at 30,000
ft.
We do know one thing that within 30
seconds
it took a nose dive of almost 15,000 ft.
Almost lost half its altitude within 30
seconds. What that means at that rate,
which is over 600 mph just to give you
an idea,
uh 767
mph is the speed of sound. It's really
fast and on ground speed. And it's not
just usually when a plane stalls and
goes into a nose dive
it is like in a velocity nose dive and
it doesn't have the speed. This was a
force nose dive at full speed.
And plane can't and it's not a This is a
commercial plane. It's not a fighter
plane that's meant to dive like that to
dive dive bomb. It's not a dive bomber.
So, what it did
went into a flight within another 30
seconds it would have crashed.
If another 10 seconds would have passed
would have transpired
then
it would have finished. They they
couldn't pull out of the they couldn't
pull that craft out of the nose dive.
What Ynef Hayoun did, with one hand he
pulled back on the throttle, pulled all
the way back to the nose dive. First he
he knew this he was a
a hobbyist and airline hobbyist. He
watched movies about airplanes. He knew
pull back on the throttle, pulled it out
of the nose dive.
Another miracle is that were two
off-duty pilots were on that flight.
They came in and they could took control
of the the the the the craft.
So, the amazing thing that miracle
number one was that that pilot, despite
he was very seriously injured, being
operated in Saudi Arabia now, and very
seriously injured and lost a lot of
blood. Anybody else would lost
consciousness. He managed to open the
door
and so that the Israelis could have come
in. That the Israeli passengers that
they sensed something was wrong. Well,
they knew it was wrong cuz the plane was
in a nose dive. The lights in the
cockpit were off. They they flashed off
the after the they went they went back
on.
The plane the automatic
uh communication of the plane was
conveying already a mayday to the mayday
to the towers in the area.
And plane was in a dangerous nose dive.
10 seconds more would have
transpired. They couldn't pulled it out.
But what they did at the managed to
level out at 15,000 ft. Could have kept
down there so 50,000 ft to the ground.
50,000 ft to the ground at the at the
speed they were going, another 30
seconds, there would have been nothing
more. It would have been six crew
members, 174 Israelis, and that would be
it. And it would be it would be a day of
mourning here in Israel rather than a
day of joy and Hoshanah Rabbah, it would
be a day of mourning.
And we see the miracle. The another
miracle
is there since some aerodynamic
engineers,
experienced pilots, they've come to
weigh in. And they said there is no way
that the fuselage of that airline that
could that airplane that Boeing 737
could have suffered the dive
normal with the something natural
occurrence would been that it would have
lost its wings. The wings would have
broken off. As it was, the tail broke
off.
And that tail stabilizes the aircraft.
And another miracle is that the
off-duty pilots managed to safely land
in the emergency landing, but that
aircraft landed safely and nobody was
killed. Nobody was killed and just to
the pilot, there was one passenger at
the end of the 74 that was injured.
Miracle after another and the
co-pilot had a had a hatchet. He could
have murdered several people. Well, he
was overcome. That's another miracle.
We see the miracle the fact that with 10
seconds left, how many at 10 seconds
count the 10? With 10 seconds between
life and death. Not really 30 seconds.
30 seconds to crashing on the ground,
but 10 seconds between life and death.
And
just the
look the the numbers that you could find
these numbers on on on all the open
people don't analyze it. Don't realize
that the extent of the miracles. Uh
the miracle that the air the aircraft
survived that dive, that is nothing
short of divine intervention. That was a
decree of Hashem that they should live,
they should live.
So, we see when Hashem does these
miracles, that behooves all of us
because we have we say in the mission of
all of Israel are guarantors
that all of Israel are guarantors for
one another.
When someone another fellow Jew is in
trouble, I'm in trouble. When a miracle
happens to him, it's like a miracle
happens to me.
So, when the miracles happen, we have to
see that hey, wait a second.
What what's a miracle? Miracles are
miracles above nature. What's emunah?
Belief in Hashem, that's above nature.
Well, people don't want to believe
because they would can't think their
logic. That that that doesn't doesn't
fit their logic. That the Torah's laws
doesn't fit their logic. But where
miracles begin, that's where logic
leaves off. Where emunah begins, where
faith begins, that's where logic leaves
off. Hashem wants to show us
that Hashem doesn't need the laws of
nature to run the world.
That all aerody
aerodynamics and the whole faculty of
MIT and Penn State and Texas A&M and the
best engineering faculties in in the
world can say that pilot that plane
should have been destroyed and Sham
decides would be destroyed. That's it.
Like they say in the in the Israeli
army, if
Sham decides that a broom could shoot
then the broom will shoot. And if Sham
decides that a sophisticated cannon will
not shoot then it won't shoot.
So it's just a take opportunity that all
of us should say Psalm 100. Miss Mola
Todah Hilu Sham Kol Ha'aretz. Say thank
you to Hashem and not stop saying thank
you to Hashem cuz what happens when show
our gratitude for these miracles, Hashem
shows us even more miracles. And we
should say Baruch Hashem, thank you
Hashem that this disaster was averted.
And
we hope that this brings a lot of
spiritual awakening and arousing. People
open their eyes and not have to wait
till there's another
Gaza war
and another abductions and tragedies to
wake us up. We should wake up in the
good times when see what Hashem does
these wonderful miracles for us and
nobody gets hurt. This is the time to
wake up. So with that, everyone should
have a wonderful Shabbat and Simchat
Torah and we should hear good news from
each other. Amen.
