Flydubai Flight 10.7.3: October 7th, Three Years After | Spin On Edge | Gershy Schwarcz

Flight 1073 34,000 ft over the Saudi desert. It is Wednesday morning, the third day of Kalamoas in fourth day by us here in Klar. A little after 8:00 Israeli time. 2 hours into the flight and everything is peaceful. In the cockpit, the captain, an Indian man busy flying a plane. His co-pilot, Anommani National, nothing seems wrong, [music] turns to him, asks him for a few minutes to pray. Of course, the captain obliges. 1 minute goes [music] by, too. 4 minutes. Behind that locked door sit passengers. 27 of them are children, unaware of what is about to unfold. This is the story of Flyby 1073. [music] 107, by the way. Does that remind you of something? and three 3 years after the attack of 107 October 7th and by the way alak that's 3 days before 107 technically that that's the very day the very bad October 7th happened which shook the world 3 years ago and today this year flight 1073 3 days before this special is brought to you by silk spoon thank you very much silk spoon milk restaurant in the staten island. We will talk about them soon. But before we start, a quick look at what happened over Shabas Kesh the news for those of you interested in knowing what's going on. I know I'm going to tell you the story of fly Dubai. But first, full developments obviously a Monday. Saudi Arabia on Shabbas the Houthis hit the main airport in Riyad. 12 people were killed, more than 300 wounded. One of the dead is an American citizen. The airport was shut down and hundreds of flights have been cancelled. President Trump responded. Marubia responded and many other um presidents and uh officials have condemned this attack. America says that they may join the Saudis to retaliate and show the hoodies who they are. In Florida, Hurricane Isaiah's hit the panhandle on Friday. More than 700,000 homes and businesses lost power. Some lost their roofs and a lot of damage happened there. By the way, the Nobel Peace Prize yet again, not to President Trump. second year in a row. He says he should have won eight, one for each war. He says he settled and for the future wars he's going to settle. Instead, it went to Pelle, some former UN official who led the panel that accused Israel of genocide and was very good at doing one very special [music] thing, condemning, like the UN is always good at doing, Trump's review. I know nothing about this woman and neither does anyone else. He says this is a stain on Norway. In other words, anyway, let's continue into the story. When this all happened, all anybody had was pieces. Now the whole picture is in. The captain has told us his story. The passengers have told us theirs. So today, I'm going to tell you the whole story from the first minute to the last. It starts like any other morning. Wednesday, September 30th. It's the fourth day of Kalamoy Bas. The third day of Dubai International Airport, 7:00 in the morning, Dubai time. Nothing strange. Flyed by 1073 takes off for Benorian airport like any other day. 3 hours and they're home. The plane is a Boeing 737 Max 8. Almost all of the passengers are Israeli citizens. Among the passengers, Tvika Manis, a finance executive with his wife and the three young daughters. Assaf Raj um Rajan coming home from a family vacation in Thailand. And in row 11, a plumber, a plumber named Yaniv Kayun with his family. In row two, a man named Daniel Schlifter and a dentist Dr. Shat Musayv who's on the way home from China. Up front behind a locked door are two pilots, Captain Smith Machar. [music] He was from Mumbai in India. He was supposed to go to his family's textile business. At 19, he fell in love with flying. He joined Fly Dubai in 2022. Close to 10,000 hours in the air. Next to him sits his co-pilot, 29 years old. He joined Flyby this year in January. Okay, now for 2 hours it's a normal flight. Quiet, some people sleeping. One passenger is fast asleep in his seat. He has no idea what is coming. Now go back into that cockpit. Everything I tell you from inside, the captain himself [music] told us after it was over. The plane is flying along the border of Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Tel Aiv is about an hour away. The co-pilot is still praying behind the captain. 5 minutes now. Then suddenly a big blow lands on the back of the captain's head. Captain Smith. Smith. His first thought that [music] something terrible has happened to the plane. Then comes another blow and another. It's not the airplane. It is his co-pilot. In his hands, investigators say, is the crash axe. Every cockpit has one to break through in an emergency. The captain can barely see. Everything is a blur. He feels the nose of the airplane going down. 80 8:21 in the morning, Israeli time. The captain tries to get out to get help. He gets to the door. He gets it open and the co-pilot manages to slam it shut again. The captain goes down on the cockpit floor, struggling for life. On the other side of that door, nobody knows any of this. Mrs. Manis, Sika's wife, is taking their little girl to the bathroom at the front, right next to the cockpit. She hears strange noises from inside, then knocking. Somebody is knocking on the cockpit door from the inside. A flight attendant is sitting nearby. She tells him something's happening in there. He doesn't move. She screams at him. Now the crew is at the door. The door has a code. Since 9/11, they've changed, you know, the regulations. The doors are bulletproof door. If you know this, so nobody can open it unless the crew knows the code for an emergency. The crew can open it from the outside if they have to. The captain says the crew tried it. [music] And from the inside, the co-pilot obviously blocked it. In the cabin, people feel the plane sinking. Most of [music] them think it's turbulence. And then the floor falls away. In less [music] than a minute, the plane drops about 15,000 ft from 31,000 ft to under 17,000. [music] The nose is pointing downwards. The plane is spinning. Anyone standing in the aisle falls. One child said later, "We flew to the ceiling." Daniel in row two looks out at the window. He sees the desert coming closer. One passenger says it felt like the craziest roller coaster ride times a thousand. Another mother sitting with her four daughters asks herself, "Who should I hold first?" Can you imagine that? The man's children are screaming, "We don't want to die." A passenger from Boston starts writing goodbye message to his family [music] back home. Inside the cockpit, the captain is lying on the floor. He hears a whooing sound. He [music] hears the passengers screaming. He says he knew that if he did not do it now, he was going to die and everyone with him. His words, "I had the one [music] last fight left in me. From the inside, there is only one way to open the door, a knob. You have to reach it and twist it. He drags himself to it." [snorts] He gets one hand on it, one short quick twist, and the door opens. Mrs. As Mana sees it, blood all over the cockpit and what she calls very, very sharp fighting moves. She screams, "He's stabbing the co-pilot. He's stabbing He's stabbing the pilot. He's stabbing the pilot. Come help." That is how it looked to her. The weapon was the axe. Her husband says the captain fell out of the cockpit door with a co-pilot still attacking him. Three men get up and run towards the cockpit. The plumber, Yaniv Hayun, the finance [music] executive at Manis and Assaf Rajan. Tika first pulls his little girl out of the bathroom safety. Then he runs. Yaniv gets three uh sorry. Yaniv gets there. The plumber gets there and looks inside. The captain is on the floor by the door. Nobody's sitting in either's pilot seat. The cockpit is empty. The co-pilot is standing between the seats over the controls. Yaniv says he was trying to destroy the instruments. Yaniv grabs him and chokeold, drags him out of the cockpit. They're not alone. Members of the crew jump in. An Israeli official says an undercover security agent was on board as well who helped. [music] They pin him to the floor. Now they need something to tie this guy. The dentist has an idea. The headphones. The airline gives every passenger a pair with a long cord. Daniel Schlicker goes down to the aisles collecting headphones cords from from other passengers. [music] They tie his hands. They tie his legs. He fights and they tie him again and again. Later the crew brings plastic ties that they have for such cases. Asaf Rajan comes out of it with blood on his forehead. [music] The co-pilot is lying on the floor saying the same thing again and again. Kill me. Kill me please. >> [music] >> They obviously did because they want the you know when he has trouble breathing the passengers give him an oxygen mask to keep him alive. Daniel Schliff explained because they wanted to live so he could be investigated properly to find out he was not working alone or you know with someone. But there is a bigger problem. The plane is still pointed at the ground and this all I'm telling you is happening in seconds. The cockpit is empty. Yaniv Hayun runs right back inside. a plumber. He grabs the yolk of the plane, the steering wheel of the plane. He pulls it back. Yaniv is a plumber, so how does he know what to do? He's never flown a plane, but he loves documentaries about plane crashes. He says the flight data shows what happened next. The [music] plane shoots back up about 5,000 ft. Then it dives again, down to 15,000 ft again. Yaniv has bought them time, but he cannot land a plane. On a video filmed in the cabin, you can hear someone shout in Hebrew, "Is there another pilot on this plane?" Now, the part almost nobody in that cabin knew. There are not only two flyby pilots on this plane, there are four. Two of them are sitting in row six in regular seats. They're off duty flying as passengers because obviously they have to fly back to be able to fly the planes. They fly that same very plane back again from Tel Aiv to Dubai. names names have not been released. A passenger named Tal is sitting right next to them. He sees the cockpit is empty. He shouts at them, "Get to the cockpit. Save us." One of them rushes into the cockpit, jumping over people. He tells Yanv he's taking [music] control. Yaniv, a plumber, he thought he's going to have to do it himself. I mean, there was cases where [music] um a small plane where a little girl was, you know, her father, a pilot who basically, you know, lost consciousness in the middle of flying. So the control tower helped her land the plane, which is actually very rare, but Yaniv obviously was taking control. The plumber, he was trying to do something. So at 8:33, the plane levels out 15,000 ft. From the moment [music] the plane began to sink to that moment, 12 minutes. All this time on the floor by the cockpit, the dentist, Dr. Shatam Musayv, is working on the captain. He says he ran forward 10 seconds after the screaming started. He is the only doctor on the plane, a dentist. The captain is cut in the head, in the neck, and his hands. He's awake. He keeps saying, "Help me, please. Help me, please. I don't want to die here." The dentist presses the wounds. He tells him, "Everything will be good." On that video from the cabin, the captain holds up his hand. He says the co-pilot hit him so many times with ax that he cannot close it because of the wounds. The plane is still still has another hour to fly. Now, the Israelis on board have a new question. Can they trust [music] the crew? Passengers say two of the flight attendants were completely helpless, hysterical. They kept saying the plane would land would land in Tel Aiv. Two passengers, Sika Manis and Daniel Schla, told the New York Post something worse. Some of the crew demanded that they untie the co-pilot, the attacker. They told the passengers, "You're not God. You're not going to kill him." [music] The passengers refused. They moved the flight attendants to the front rows. They put a big passenger at the cockpit door to guard it and whether a flight attendant went uh sorry and wherever a flight attendant went a passenger went with him. The airline would not comment. Obviously, to be clear, nobody has accused the crew of being part of the attack, but the Emirates questioned the flight attendants at the request of the Israelis. Investigators concluded afterwards that the crew was not involved. Meanwhile, the ground, nobody knows any of this. All they see is a radar screen. 828. The plane sends out a code 7 7700. That's a general emergency. If you know codes in PL in planes, I'm assuming you don't. 8:35 2 minutes after the plane levels out, it sends code 7500, which most of you know. I'm assuming you don't, but I believe the code that means hijacking. The plane is still heading towards Israel. Outlets, media outlets have said they've heard there's been a duel. There's been an an altercation between the pilots, a fight between the pilots. Nobody knows why. So that's why it kind of went off the radar, but nobody spoke about the fact that there was a terrorist attack yet. Nobody knew. But the plane disappeared. Obviously, Israeli officials, security officials cannot reach the pilot. Israel scrambles fighter jets, which is the usual plan for such a story, right? When a plane crosses briefly into Jordan, then it [music] turns around. 844. The control tower in Tabuk in northwest Saudi Arabia gets a distress call. [music] The plane is asking for an emergency landing. Saudi Arabia sends up its own jets. CBS News reports from two Israeli sources that Israel was prepared to shoot the plane down. If the plane kept coming and crossed a set line, the jets would fly up to it, look into the cockpit. If it looked hijacked, the decision would go to the prime minister's desk. Only he could give the answer and the order. A plane crashing into Bengorian airport or the um as real towers in Tel Aviv means that it has to be shut down. So when the plane turned around, the jets were called off. At about a4 to 10, the wheels touch the runway in Tabuk. The cabin breaks out cheering and clapping and singing. Assaf Rajuan says they held the attacker down for 15 minutes all the way to the ground. A plane full of Israelis is now sitting on a runway in Saudi Arabia, a country Israel has no ties with. Saudi medics treat the captain right outside the door of the plane. Inside, the co-pilot is still tied up on the floor. The passengers are holding back anyone from taking him. They're telling the crew that they refuse to let him go. Saudi authorities take him anyway, and he is wounded as well. Both pilots are taken to um the hospital. The passengers are brought into the terminal and passengers say that the Saudi staff received them very well and kept telling them that they were in good hands in a safe place. Now getting home, Israelis asked to send their own planes to save them to to take them out of there. Saudi Arabia obviously refused. Fly sent another plane, the same kind of plane, same seats and as a new crew. After everything that happened, obviously the passengers refused to get on. The Mossad then decided to check the new crew members from the pilots to the flight attendants. Only after they approved [music] did they board the flight. At 5:40 in the evening, almost 8 hours after they landed, they took off again in the new plane. That evening, they landed at Bangoran airport. Families were waiting [music] and ambulances and everything, rescue teams. One passenger went to the hospital with a minor injury. Everyone else walked walked off back home again.

So, that's the best place obviously to leave you and I'd love to hear your feedback. Now, let's continue. Let me explain to you what happened. I don't I don't think you understand the Nissim and I've actually looked through it. I've you know, I did a lot of research about this because this is the most important part of the entire [music] story. Let's count the nissim together because that's what we do as Eden right one at the exact minute the attack began Mrs. Manis wasn't, you know, in her seat. Her daughter needed the bathroom. So, she took her to the bathroom. Everyone was sleeping, by the way. Just [music] saying. 2 hours in the flight. What do you think happens? Everyone is peaceful, sleep. The lights are off. She was standing at the cockpit door waiting for her daughter. She was she was the one who heard the knocking and the noises. Imagine that. Just just just putting it out there. Let it sink in for a second. Okay. A captain is lying in the floor, hit in the head, blurry, almost out. He was almost about I mean the guy wanted to kill him with an axe again and again. [music] He can barely see. And he finds this strength like he said with his own words. I had one last fight left to me for a twist of a knob. He tried once. Shut the door. He tried again. Three. That's that's nest number two. Nest number three. There was a dentist. one dentist on that plane and he was at [music] the captain's side in seconds. A dentist. Like imagine a dentist. Number four, a plumber took controls of a passenger jet. Let that sink in a second. A plumber, and I'm going to tell you why this is such an amazing thing. You'll understand in a in a few minutes why this is so crazy and amazing. A retired colonel and a pilot, Steve [music] Gunard, explained it on ABC News. Let me explain to you. Pull too hard at that speed, he said, and the wings snap. The plumber pulled just enough. Somehow he knew. Number five. That's number five. Two more pilots happen to be sitting in row six. [music] Daniel Schla called that one of the biggest Nissim of the flight. I mean pilots always fly on planes sometimes back and forth, but just then the right time a small plane. The plane turned around before it reached Israel. This is number six. You heard what was waiting for them. If it had kept going at that speed and no pilots in the cockpit, it's just going and going. The fighter jets were there. They were waiting for orders. What do you think is going to happen? And now the biggestness of all, the plane itself. Think about it. Look at the tail of that plane. Have a look at the tail plane. Examine it. What do you see there? A big piece of the rudder is gone. That is the flap that steers the plane left and right. [music] Experts say it was most likely torn off in the deep dive it made. The plane flew more than an hour without it. Here is what the tracking data says about that dive. The nose was pointed down at about 39°. A normal descent is about 3°. This is 39°. When it was pulled out of the dive, it took about three times the force of gravity. It is built for two and a half times the force of gravity. The exact numbers will come obviously from the blackbox, but it has been shown radar data and flight data, which has not been uh uh and the blackbox hasn't been made public yet, but that has obviously. But listen to the people who do this for a living. A former American crash investigator, Jeff Guetti, called it remarkable that they pulled out at all. A veteran Israeli pilot, Alan Perrick, puts it this way. He says, "Another 40 seconds and that plane [music] hits the ground. It's over." President Trump posted about this as well. He's congratulated Boeing for a jet that could withstand, in his words, G forces and strain far beyond far beyond of what [music] it was designed and expected to do. The president gave the credit to Boeing, but listen to his own words. Far beyond what it was designed and expected [music] to do. Right. I tell you all, a plane that goes through that does not land. It comes apart in the sky. Like one of them said, it disintegrates. This is this one held together with a piece of its tail missing for more than an hour. That's not Boeing. That's the [music] Daniel Schlicker said it himself. It was a miracle. Not just him. Remember the passenger that fell asleep in a seat I spoke about in the beginning. Recall [music] we do not have his name yet but after he landed safely he went to the basali's um to give him hyda thanks somebody met him there was tickets with le of and interviewed them he says he woke up in a panic he heard screaming he says and he felt the plane falling with its nose pointing down. He says they were helpless between heaven and earth. He says he was sure what saved them above Muslim and above tea only the tilis and the tahillim. And then he tells person that he screamed in that seat. He says Baba Sali Rabi Shimon catch the plane. And he says it he covers his face and he cries [music] and he says and he cried there while he told this person the story. forali. >> It's emotional. He's crying there, recalling his moments of trauma. It's it's it's traumatic. This is traumatic, by the way. I'm sure I don't have to tell you this. Then he gave his own mah. He says he he gave himself mah while he was sitting there. He says he he explains what he's saying in Hebrew. Keep going. He said with more mitzvah and more without being than another he says. He said pure yid with a that's going to bring together his work. Nothing can be taken for granted. He was saved by a big N. Many Nissim just we just witnessed now. We just counted the Nissim on that plane. Well, some of the ones we know. If you want to hear all kinds of interesting ziggillas, there is a hotline for it. The Zillas hotline daily. Interesting from the Balis. It changes people's life. People have told me that they listen to this heartline for sure because you want to know the backing and the issulas come from what they are who the true gillas who wrote them like what is it exactly? So this is a place for you if you're interested Yiddish real it's in Yiddish. Yes 92943850 press one and pound sign up I urge you to do that it's important 929-43850 the balis himself and you'll find everything you want if you want to know all about Skillis. It's a great hotline to listen to. I'm thinking that if you want to have truism every single day, it's one of people say that it's it's their coffee. Like they listen to their hotline. It's a great hotline. I mean, after listening to on edge, obviously. Okay, let's continue. To understand how close this came, you have to understand that cockpit door. For that, we go back 41 years. June 14th, 1985. TWWA flight [music] 847 from Athens to Rome. Minutes after takeoff, two Lebanese terrorists stand up with pistols [music] and grenades. They force the captain to fly to Beirut. They collect the passports and they're looking for, you guessed it, Jews. On the plane is a young American Navy um diver named Robert um Stetham. He's 23 years old. The terrorists beat him up and shoot him and dump his [music] body on the runway. The passengers with Jewish sounding names are taken off the plane and held in Beirut. Terrorists demand that Israel free hundreds of Lebanese [music] terrorist prisoners. It goes on for about 17 days. That was the old kind of hijacking. [music] The terrorist wanted hostages. He wanted a deal. He wanted the plane on the ground. 16 years later, all that changed. September 11th, 2001. Anyone remembers this? Terrorists take over four planes. They don't want the deal. All they want the planes themselves as bombs, as a weapon, as missiles. Almost 3,000 people were killed. The world asks one question. How did they get into the cockpit? Before September 11th, the cockpit door was built mainly for privacy. It was easy to break into. Open it. Do you want it? After September 11th, America ordered new doors, reinforced doors built to stop bullets, grenades, and grenade fragments. The rest of the world followed. From outside, the crew can punch in a code, but whoever is inside can obviously block it. President Trump said it right after the attack. You can't get [music] them open from outside. The door was built to keep the danger out, and it works. But what happens when the danger already is inside? March 24th, 2015. German Wings Flight 9520. Sorry, 9525. Barcelona to Dazzledorf with 150 people on board. The captain steps out of the cockpit. The co-pilot, Andreas Lubitz, is now alone. Locks the door. He sets the plane to go down. The captain comes back. He knocks on the door, bangs in the door. Nothing. [music] The door does exactly what it was designed to do. It stays shut. The plane hits a mountain in the French Alps. All 150 people were killed. It wasn't the first time. Silk Air 1997 in Indonesia, Egypt, Egypt Air 1999 of Massachusetts. In both American investigators concluded that one of the pilots crashed the actual plane on purpose. Indonesia and Egypt never accepted obviously this narrative. Three times the danger was sitting at the controls inside the cockpit and three times nobody stopped it in time. Now you understand flight 1073. A locked reinforced door. An attacker inside blocking the code. A captain on the floor. And this time the door opened. Nice. So who is the man with the axe? 4 days. Four days. I'm saying nobody would say his name. Now it is obviously out. His name is Ham al Kamami. He's 29 years old. He's a citizen of Oman. Oman has no diplomatic relations with Israel. Obviously, he was born in the Emirates and to an Ammani father and a Syrian mother. About 10 years ago, he was a student in Australia in Melbourne, Australia. That the Emirates now say is where it all started. In 2017, he began drifting towards extremism. Extremist extremist books, videos online praising terror groups, and suicide bombing attacks. The Financial Times says Australian intelligence kept a file on him. Now Australia federal police have opened their own investigations. Then he trained to fly in Britain and [music] New Zealand. And then he went to work for Oman. Here is the part that is hard to believe. In 2024, officials say Oman found him with extremist material. They took him out of the cockpit. They gave him a desk job instead. And Oman barred him from flying there. So he tried Morocco's airline. They didn't hire [music] him. Then Fly Dubai did. He went through the standard security checks, but those checks asked one question. Has this man ever been convicted of a crime? Obviously not. Nobody looked for signs of extremism. As far as we know, nobody called Oman, so why fly Dubai? He told the investigators himself, according [music] to Israel's channel 13. That's what he says. I searched and checked which company flies to Tel Aviv, and that's why I chose Fly Dubai. [music] He said he planned it even before he was hired. Why did he do it? He told them it was revenge on is on Israel over Gaza. His target was Benorian airport. He meant to crash the plane into Bengorian airport. This was not his first chance. He flew to Tel Aiv twice before to learn the route and to learn the airport. He first planned the attack for July. At the last moment, he called it off. Israeli media says uh a friend of his was actually on on the crew which basically made him call off to get himself ready. He watched terror videos. He took boxing lessons. After Tabuk, the Saudis questioned him and then handed him over to the Emirates. That is where he is right now. On October 9th, the Emirates attorney general gave the full picture. It was meant to be a suicide attack copied from 9/11. He confessed with his lawyer [music] in the room. An Emirati source says that they want the death penalty [music] for him. Did somebody send him? He says no. He says he acted alone. The Emirates are still checking that. Israel's Shinbet is also there taking part in the investigation. Netanyahu said it was too early to tell if Iran was involved. On October 5th, though, President Trump was asked if he believes Iran was responsible. He says, "I do. I personally do." He didn't say why. Yes. >> What do you think the pilot >> um >> it seems? I mean, I can relate the story, but you're better off getting it from him. But by this time, I guess they have a lot of fake stories out there, and you know, you never know what's happening. But I did speak to uh BB Netanyahu at length about this event. And it seems as though the co-pilot was perhaps a terrorist or perhaps a wack job. >> That was uh that was um then then anyways anyway that same day his own vice president JD Vance said that he's not seen anything conclusive yet. Iran denies any part in it. One more question. How did Israel let him in? By Israel's own rules, a pilot from a country with no ties to Israel, like Oman, is not supposed to fly in at all. So, how did he get through? Officials in the region say the Emirates um the sent Israel the list for this flight ahead of time like usually do the passengers, the crew, the pilots names, and their nationalities. Israel raised no red flag. [snorts] Israeli transport minister Regg said her ministry was never given a list. The Wall Street Journal reports the list was filed. Nobody in the ministry looked at it. Now reports say police are looking into two senior officials in her ministry. One of them overseas security for foreign airlines. He did pay uh um he did paid consulting work for flight and Emirates. A closed Knesset committee committee heard a number in the past year about,240 pilots and flight attendants came into Israel from countries that have no ties with Israel at all which is illegal. Syrians, Lebanese among them. So Reev is asking for a new [music] rule on flights from high-risk places. Every name passengers and crew would be sent 48 hours ahead [music] and the Mossad or the Shinbet would have to approve them before takeoff. It is not in force yet.

Israel's foreign minister called it an attempted terrorist attack against Israelis, the Emirates and the Abraham Accords. Not everyone used those words. The airlines own statement called it an altercation. Britain's foreign secretary Edmund called it an incident. Later in the same post, he did use the word attack. An official at Israel's foreign ministry answered him, "Mr. the foreign secretary. You misspelled the word terror. After the attack, Flyby stopped flying to Israel. Now it wants back in. Israel's channel 13 reports the airline told Israel it fired many employees and asked to fly to Tel Aviv again. Reg said no for now. And the captain who twisted that knob, he was treated at a hospital in Tabuk and was flown into a hospital in Abu Dhabi. India's diplomats say he is recovering very well. India's prime minister Narenda Modi called him on video call. Modi told him he saved the lives of so many people in a fraction of a second. He told Modi he felt he could not let the passengers die. He said the others played an equal role to him as well. And then Natono also called him and that is the call where the captain told him how it all began. In Washington a resolution was introduced in the House of Representatives to honor him. campaigns for him, one of them from a Jewish news site, have raised [music] tens of thousands of dollars. Now, let me all tell you how I see it. There are two ways to answer terror. You stand up to it or you give into it. Ben Shapiro, the Jewish commentator, puts it this way. You can either fight or you can surrender. And terrorists learn which one works. March 11th, 2004, 10 bombs go off on four commuter trains in Madrid. 193 people are killed. Days later, Spain votes out its [music] government. By May, the last Spanish soldier out of Iraq. The terrorists got what they wanted, and every terrorist since then knows [music] it works. You know the rule, you don't negotiate with terrorists. Well, some people don't know this. Britain's foreign secretary blocked uh uh looked at an axe attack [music] in a cockpit. Told you about this. And called it an incident on flight 1073. Nobody gave in. Three men got out this got out the seats ran towards the cockpit and the shalom did the rest. Obviously 174 passengers got on that plane in Dubai. They didn't sleep. 174 came home. Anyway, let's thank Silk Spoon again for this episode.
