阿尔莫格·伊塔利与妻子和两个十几岁的孩子从日本度假后飞回家，随意拍摄着下方沙漠中灌溉的圆形农田，这时FlyDubai的737 Max突然急剧俯冲。
Almog Italie was flying home from a vacation in Japan with his wife and two teenagers, casually snapping pictures of irrigated circles of farmland in the desert below, when the FlyDubai 737 Max suddenly went into a steep nosedive.
“它开始像遇到湍流一样下降，但非常疯狂。二三十秒的疯狂自由落体。然后它稳定下来，接着又开始下降，”伊塔利说，他是一名以色列电商工作者。“我们不明白发生了什么。”伊塔利在1073航班20排的座位上无法看到的是驾驶舱内正在展开的殊死搏斗。以色列总理本杰明·内塔尼亚胡说，副驾驶刺伤了机长，机长反击并打开了驾驶舱门。
“It started dropping as if there was turbulence, but crazy. Twenty, thirty seconds of a crazy freefall. It then stabilized and then again started falling,” said Italie, an Israeli ecommerce worker. “We didn’t understand what was happening.”What Italie couldn’t see from his seat in Row 20 on Flight 1073 was a desperate fight unfolding in the cockpit. The co-pilot had stabbed the plane’s captain, who fought back and opened the cockpit door, said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
根据对乘客的采访和《华尔街日报》核实的社交媒体视频，看到骚动后，一小群乘客和机组人员冲到前面，重新控制飞机。
Seeing a commotion, a small group of passengers and crewmembers rushed to the front to regain control of the plane, according to interviews with passengers and social media videos verified by The Wall Street Journal.
