前以色列总理纳夫塔利·本内特表示，正是乘客和机组人员的迅速反应阻止了这起可能发生的恐怖袭击。周三，一架飞往以色列的客机在驾驶舱内发生持刀袭击事件后，突然急速下降。
Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett credited the quick-thinking actions of passengers and crew for thwarting what officials are investigating as a possible terrorist attack Wednesday after an alleged cockpit stabbing sent an Israel-bound passenger plane into a nosedive. "This wasn't a miracle. It was an act of heroism by the passengers and of the Emirati crew," Bennett told "The Faulkner Focus."
本内特在接受《福克纳焦点》（Faulkner Focus）采访时说：“这并非奇迹，而是乘客和阿联酋机组人员的英勇行为。是这些人挽救了局面——他们没有坐视不管，而是采取了行动；今天作为以色列人，我感到无比自豪。”
"It's people who saved the day, people who showed courage, who didn't stand passively but took action, and I'm so darn proud to be Israeli today." UNITED FLIGHT FROM CHICAGO MAKES EMERGENCY LANDING AFTER PASSENGER'S 'MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS' TO BREACH COCKPIT The original flight was diverted to Saudi Arabia, where the passengers were transferred to another plane.
这架原定从芝加哥起飞的航班在一名乘客多次试图闯入驾驶舱后紧急降落。该航班被改道飞往沙特阿拉伯，乘客们被转移到了另一架飞机上；事件发生时在机上的乘客后来抵达了特拉维夫附近的本-古里安国际机场（Ben Gurion International Airport）。
Those who were aboard during the incident later arrived at Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv. Bennett thanked Saudi authorities for allowing the aircraft to make an emergency landing and caring for those on board while they were on the ground.
本内特感谢沙特当局允许飞机紧急降落，并在飞机停飞期间为机上人员提供了必要的援助。
Though details are still emerging, Bennett cited Israeli authorities in detailing that the flight was traveling from Dubai to Tel Aviv when the co-pilot allegedly attacked the pilot with a pocketknife and tried to bring down the aircraft, sending it into a steep descent.
尽管相关细节仍在进一步调查中，但本内特透露：该航班从迪拜飞往特拉维夫途中，副驾驶涉嫌用折叠刀袭击了飞行员并试图操控飞机坠落。就在这时，以色列乘客们迅速采取了行动。
That's when, Bennett said, Israeli passengers sprang into action.
据本内特介绍：“有几名以色列公民冲进了驾驶舱，制服了嫌疑人，并呼叫了备用机组人员前来支援。”事件现场的录像显示，受伤的飞行员躺在地上，脸上戴着氧气面罩、鲜血直流。据路透社报道，沙特阿拉伯的塔布克机场（Tabuk Airport）称两名飞行员都因受伤被送医治疗。以色列当局正在调查这起事件是否属于恐怖袭击未遂。
RETIRED POLICE CHIEF HELPS SUBDUE PASSENGER AFTER ALLEGED MIDAIR OUTBURST OVER ALCOHOL CUTOFF "A couple of passengers, Israeli citizens, jumped into the cockpit," he said. "They took over the alleged terrorist, pulled him out, and they sent in the second crew that was [on] standby." The attacked pilot can be seen bleeding and wearing an oxygen mask while lying on his back in graphic footage from the incident. Saudi Arabia's Tabuk Airport said both pilots were hospitalized with injuries, according to Reuters. Israeli officials are investigating whether the incident was an attempted terrorist attack.
以色列总理本雅胡·内塔尼亚胡周三就这起事件发表评论，赞扬了那些迅速采取行动的人。
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the incident Wednesday, praising those who jumped into action.
内塔尼亚胡根据其讲话的非官方译文表示：“我向那些展现出非凡勇气的英雄致敬。据乘客讲述，他们挽救了许多人的生命。”
"I salute the heroes who showed extraordinary bravery and, according to the passenger's account, saved many lives," Netanyahu said, according to an unofficial translation of his remarks.
他补充说，涉嫌实施这次持刀袭击的飞行员已被捕，目前正接受沙特当局的审问。福克斯新闻的布拉德·贝茨对本报道亦有贡献。
