Passengers on a morning flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv recounted scenes of panic and terror on Wednesday as their aircraft suddenly plunged thousands of feet while screams for help came from behind the cockpit door.
原本只是一次例行航班，却因空中驾驶舱内爆发暴力冲突而变得惊心动魄。乘客描述了机舱内绝望的混乱场面，旅客们意识到飞机已失控。数人冲进驾驶舱制服了袭击者，随后两名非值班飞行员协助将飞机安全迫降在沙特阿拉伯。
What began as a routine flight turned terrifying when a violent altercation broke out inside the cockpit in midair. Passengers described a desperate scramble inside the cabin as travelers realized the plane was out of control. Several rushed into the cockpit and subdued an attacker before two off-duty pilots helped steer the aircraft to a safe emergency landing in Saudi Arabia.
“几分钟内，我们的飞机完全失控，我们感觉这就是了——我们要坠机了，”一名乘客米里亚姆·奥哈永告诉以色列24频道。“我们听到飞机上尖叫声，当他们打开驾驶舱时，里面全是血。”她回忆说，在飞机剧烈颠簸时，她念诵了一段犹太人在遭遇困境时常诵读的祷文。
“Within a few minutes, our plane completely lost control, and we felt that this was it — we were about to crash,” one passenger, Miriam Ohayon, told Israel’s Channel 24. “We heard screams on the plane, and when they opened the cockpit, there was a lot of blood.”She recalled reciting a Jewish prayer often said in times of distress as the plane jolted through the air.
以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡表示，袭击者是一名副驾驶。乘客阿尔莫格·伊塔利告诉英国广播公司（BBC），驾驶舱内有两名飞行员，“一人刺伤了另一人”。他说，机上两名非值班飞行员（其中一名是英国人）在冲突后协助降落了飞机。
The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said the attacker was a co-pilot, and Almog Itali, a passenger on the flight, told the BBC that there were two pilots in the cockpit and that “one stabbed the other.”He said that two off duty-pilots on the plane, one of whom was British, helped to land the aircraft after the altercation.
据奥哈永向其母亲亚斯明·奥哈永-阿布卡西斯报告，事发在起飞约两小时后，一名从洗手间返回的乘客看见驾驶舱内正在发生搏斗，随即提醒了其他乘客。
The incident began about two hours after takeoff when a passenger returning from the bathroom saw a struggle inside the cockpit and alerted passengers, Ms. Ohayon reported to her mother, Yasmin Ohayon-Abukasis.
奥哈永-阿布卡西斯在特拉维夫本-古里安机场对包括《纽约时报》在内的记者表示，女儿告诉她，机长曾大喊“救命、救命、救命”，并称正遭一名持刀男子攻击。
Speaking to reporters at Ben-Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, including The New York Times, Ms. Ohayon-Abukasis said her daughter had told her that the pilot had yelled “help, help, help” and that he was being attacked by a man with a knife.
奥哈永-阿布卡西斯女士说，她的女儿告诉她，乘客们制服了袭击者，机上的一名护士和医生为飞行员提供了初步医疗救治。
Ms. Ohayon-Abukasis said her daughter had said that passengers had subdued the attacker and that a nurse and doctor on board provided initial medical care to the pilot.
Flightradar24的航班追踪数据显示，1073号航班在不到两分钟内下降了超过17000英尺。“飞机不断稳定下来，然后又再次下坠，持续了好几个漫长的秒数，”伊塔利对第12频道说。飞机安全降落在沙特阿拉伯的图巴克，飞行员被送往医院。
Flight-tracking data from Flightradar24 showed Flight 1073 descended more than 17,000 feet in less than two minutes. “The plane kept stabilizing and then dropping again for several long seconds,” Mr. Itali told Channel 12. The plane landed safely in Tubak, Saudi Arabia, and the pilots were taken to a hospital.
40岁的亚当·波洛文奇克与家人一同乘坐了这趟航班，他形容这是一次“极端的经历”，尽管他努力在孩子们面前保持镇定。
Adam Polovincik, 40, who was on the flight with his family, described it as an “extreme experience,” even as he tried to remain calm for his children.
波洛文奇克在沙特阿拉伯通过电话接受《泰晤士报》采访时说，当时的情形恍如梦幻。以色列与沙特阿拉伯没有正式外交关系。
Speaking to The Times by phone from Saudi Arabia, where Israel has no formal relations, Mr. Polovincik said the circumstances were surreal.
“他们给我们送来了食物和饮料，还给我们端上了咖啡，”波洛文奇克说。“是的，这里有很多士兵和政府官员，但气氛非常轻松、愉快且充满尊重。”利奥·桑兹和希多·阿布·拉班对报道有贡献。
“They brought us food and drink, served us coffee,” Mr. Polovincik said. “Yes, there are a lot of soldiers here and government officials, but the atmosphere is very relaxed, pleasant and respectful.”Leo Sands and Heedo Abu Laban contributed reporting.
