在从迪拜飞往特拉维夫的早班航班上，150名乘客目睹了驾驶舱内的恐怖袭击，以及一名勇敢的飞行员试图劫持飞机。内塔尼亚胡称，这名飞行员可能试图将飞机撞毁。
On morning service from Dubai to Tel Aviv, 150 passengers witnessed a horrific cockpit assault and a daring rescue Pilot who stabbed co-pilot on Israel-bound plane may have tried to crash it, says Netanyahu As flight FZ 1073 soared west over the waters of the Gulf towards Israel, its passengers may have bemoaned a 20-minute delay at takeoff. For a low-cost airline route, flydubai’s daily service to Tel Aviv is usually convenient and reliable.
当FZ 1073号航班飞越海湾向以色列方向飞行时，乘客们可能只是抱怨起飞延误了20分钟。
The nonstop flight takes about three and a half hours and departs early enough from Dubai that it usually lands at Ben Gurion airport at about 9am local time.
作为一家低成本航空公司，Flydubai的特拉维夫航线通常很便捷且可靠，这段直飞航班大约需要三个半小时，从迪拜出发的时间足够早，通常能在当地时间上午9点左右降落在本-古里安机场。但周三的这场灾难性航班却并非如此。
That was not the case for Wednesday’s catastrophic flight. The passenger jet never made it to its scheduled destination.
这架客机未能抵达预定目的地，而是在几秒钟内急速下降数千英尺，最终在沙特阿拉伯紧急迫降——令人惊讶的是，照片显示飞机的尾部严重受损，几乎已经脱落。
Instead, it dropped thousands of feet in seconds before limping down to make an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia – perhaps miraculously, since photos suggested a large part of the tail of the aircraft was missing.
