以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡周三表示，一架飞往特拉维夫的阿联酋航空（flydubai）航班飞行员曾试图让飞机坠毁并杀死机上乘客，此前该飞机被迫在沙特阿拉伯紧急着陆。
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that the pilot of a Tel Aviv-bound flydubai flight had tried to crash the plane and kill its passengers, after the aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia.
据Flightradar24网站称，机上乘客对这一事件作出了类似描述，称飞机突然急剧下坠后，机上人员为争夺控制权而发生冲突，飞机在一分钟内失去约17,000英尺高度。
Passengers gave a similar account of the incident on board, describing a fight for control after the plane suddenly plummeted, losing around 17,000 feet of altitude in the span of a minute, according to the Flightradar24 website.
