“相信奇迹吧，”穆萨耶夫博士说道。他当时正在飞往以色列的阿联酋航空公司航班上，这架飞机曾遭遇副驾驶的劫机企图，但最终成功避免了灾难。他的话或许并不夸张。我们可以将这一系列事件称为“奇迹的连环发生”，或者说是“一系列非凡的干预措施”；如果没有这些奇迹或干预，这起事件很可能会成为近代航空史上最致命的灾难之一。
"Believe in miracles," Dr Shota Musaev, who was aboard the Israel-bound flydubai aircraft that survived a potential hijacking attempt by its co-pilot, told Channel 15. He may not have been wrong. Call it a chain of miracles or a series of extraordinary interventions, but without them, the incident could have ended as one of the deadliest aviation disasters in recent history.
机长斯密特·马查尔（Smit Machchhar）是印度人，他在驾驶舱内遭到副驾驶的残忍刺伤。航班FZ 1073载有174名乘客，在短短两分钟内急剧下降17,000英尺，眼看就要坠毁。然而，奇迹随即发生了：尽管身受重伤、躺在地板上，马查尔机长还是设法打开了驾驶舱门，让乘客们得以冲进驾驶舱并制服了副驾驶。一名以色列水管工操作飞机的控制装置，使飞机摆脱了坠毁的危机。
The captain, Indian national Smit Machchhar, was brutally stabbed inside the cockpit by the co-pilot. The flight FZ 1073, carrying 174 passengers, plunged 17,000 feet in roughly two minutes, hurtling towards catastrophe. But then miracles followed. Captain Machchhar, despite being seriously wounded and lying on the floor, managed to unlock the cockpit door. It allowed passengers to rush in and overpower the co-pilot. An Israeli plumber steered the aircraft's levers to veer it from nosediving. His teacher - a TV show on aviation disasters.
此外，还有两位恰好也在该航班上的休班飞行员帮助稳定了飞机的飞行状态，并成功完成了紧急降落。值得注意的是，尽管飞机的方向舵严重受损（甚至几乎被完全撕裂），飞机最终还是安全降落在沙特阿拉伯。以下是这五个关键时刻的详细经过：
Crucially, two off-duty pilots who happened to be travelling on the same flight stabilised the aircraft and carried out the emergency landing. And significantly, despite the fatal plunge and most of its rudder being ripped off the tail, the aircraft landed safely in Saudi Arabia. Here is how those five extraordinary moments unfolded.OPENING THE COCKPIT DOORThe first and perhaps most crucial move was made by Captain Machchhar.
打开驾驶舱门第一个、也是最关键的行动来自马查尔机长。尽管他伤势严重、失血过多，但他还是设法打开了驾驶舱门。在飞机设计中，驾驶舱门的作用就是防止乘客从客舱擅自进入驾驶舱。正是这一举动，彻底改变了整个事件的走向。
Despite being seriously wounded and losing a large amount of blood, he managed to reach the cockpit door and unlock it. In an aircraft, the cockpit door is designed to prevent unauthorised access from the passenger cabin. That single move changed everything.
乘客们迅速冲进驾驶舱，制服了那名疑似阿曼国籍的副驾驶——此人企图像911事件那样劫持飞机。参与制服副驾驶的以色列水管工亚尼夫·海云（Yaniv Hayun）告诉《India Today》杂志，马奇哈尔（Machchhar）在倒下之前还成功打开了驾驶舱门。如果驾驶舱门没有打开，乘客们就无法介入，两名正在休息的飞行员也无法控制飞机。
It allowed the passengers to rush inside and overpower the co-pilot, suspected to be an Omani national who was attempting to crash the aircraft 911-style. Yaniv Hayun, the Israeli plumber who was among those who subdued the co-pilot, told India Today that Machchhar managed to open the door before collapsing. Had that cockpit door remained closed, the passengers would not have been able to intervene, nor would the two off-duty pilots have been able to take control of the aircraft.PASSENGERS STORMING THE COCKPITApart from Captain Machchhar, there were four other heroes who rushed to the cockpit without caring about their own lives. They were a plumber (Yaniv Hayun), a dentist (Dr Shota Musaev), an insurance agency owner (Assaf Rajuan), a banker (Zvika Manes).Most of them were returning from a vacation in Saudi Arabia when horror struck 30,000 feet above.
乘客们冲向驾驶舱除了机长马奇哈尔外，还有另外四位英雄不顾个人安危冲进了驾驶舱：一名水管工（亚尼夫·海云）、一名牙医（肖塔·穆萨耶夫博士，Dr. Shota Musaev）、一名保险代理人（阿萨夫·拉朱安，Assaf Rajuan）以及一名银行家（兹维卡·马内斯，Zvika Manes）。他们大多刚从沙特阿拉伯度假归来，就在3万英尺的高空遭遇了这场恐怖事件。
Without thinking twice, they rushed to the cockpit and restrained the co-pilot using cables from the headphones distributed on the flight.
他们毫不犹豫地冲进驾驶舱，使用飞机上提供的耳机线制服了副驾驶。当时副驾驶正在试图破坏飞机的控制面板，因此行动的时机非常关键。马内斯对以色列媒体表示：“我们动用了很大的体力；那名副驾驶非常强壮，可能处于极度兴奋的状态。”
The timing was significant as the co-pilot was attempting to damage the aircraft's control panels. "It took quite a bit of physical force. He was a strong man, probably full of adrenaline," Manes told Israeli media. While the others dealt with the co-pilot, Dr Musaev's timely intervention became crucial in saving the Indian captain's life."
在其他人制服副驾驶的同时，穆萨耶夫博士的及时干预对挽救机长的生命起到了关键作用。穆萨耶夫博士告诉《India Today》：“机长当时躺在地上，虽然还有意识，但失血严重，手臂和颈部都有很深的伤口。我的任务是止血并维持他的生命体征稳定。所有人都是真正的英雄。”
He was lying on the floor, was conscious, but lost a lot of blood. He had deep cuts in his arms and neck. My job was to stop the bleeding and keep him stable. Everyone was a hero," Dr Musaev told India Today. For Rajuan, who was holidaying in Thailand a few hours ago, it was no less than a horror movie.
对于几小时前还在泰国度假的拉朱安来说，这一切简直就像一场恐怖电影：“我们成功将那名袭击者控制住了50分钟，最终飞机降落在沙特阿拉伯。”
"We managed to keep the attacker neutralised for 50 minutes and land in Saudi Arabia," he told Ynet news. It was a rare show of courage by passengers in thwarting a hijack attempt.
乘客们这种阻止劫机企图的勇气实属罕见，让人联想到25年前911事件中93号航班上的情景。
It was reminiscent of what transpired aboard Flight 93 during the 911 attacks, 25years ago.
2001年9月11日，93号航班是基地组织恐怖分子劫持的四架飞机之一。据信，恐怖分子的目标是美国国会大厦或白宫。然而，40名勇敢的乘客和机组人员挺身而出，与恐怖分子展开了搏斗，导致飞机坠毁在宾夕法尼亚州的一片田野中。这40名乘客全部遇难。
Flight 93 was among the four planes hijacked by al-Qaida terrorists on September 11, 2001. It is believed the hijackers had the US Capitol or the White House as their targets. However, 40 brave passengers and crew members stood in their way. The passengers fought the hijackers, causing the aircraft to crash in a field near Pennsylvania. However, in this case, all 40 passengers were killed.A PLUMBER WHO LOVES AVIATION SHOWSAmong those who entered the cockpit to restrain the co-pilot was Yaniv Hayun, a plumber.
在进入驾驶舱试图制服副驾驶的乘客中，有一位名叫亚尼夫·海云（Yaniv Hayun）的水管工。他虽然没有接受过飞行训练，但他意识到飞机正处于危险的下降状态。海云只知道必须拉起操纵杆来阻止飞机继续下降——毕竟，他一直非常热衷于航空相关的节目。在与以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡交谈时，海云仍穿着沾满血迹的T恤，他表示自己是通过加拿大纪录片《Mayday》了解到飞行控制系统的知识的。
He was not a trained pilot, but he realised that the aircraft was on a dangerous descent. All Hayun knew was that he had to pull the steering levers up to stop the aircraft from descending any further. After all, he was an avid follower of aviation shows. While interacting with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, Hayun, still in his blood-soaked T-shirt, said he learnt about flight controls thanks to the Canadian documentary series 'Mayday'.
这部在美国以外地区被称为《Air Crash Investigations》的电视节目专门报道真实的航空灾难事件。
Known as Air Crash Investigations outside the US, the TV show covers real-world air disasters."
“飞机的下降趋势终于有所缓解，”海云说，随后两名正在休息中的飞行员接过了控制权。他的及时干预成功阻止了飞机的进一步坠落。
The plane started levelling out a little more," Hayun said, before the two off-duty pilots took over. His intervention helped arrest the aircraft's descent.THE TWO OFF-DUTY PILOTSThen came the crucial piece of luck for the 174 passengers. There were two off-duty pilots travelling on the aircraft who entered the cockpit, helped stabilise the aircraft and eventually carried out the emergency landing at Saudi Arabia's Tabuk airport.
对于这174名乘客来说，接下来的情况才真正出现了转机：当时飞机上还有两名正在休息中的飞行员，他们进入驾驶舱后帮助稳定了飞机的飞行状态，并最终将飞机紧急降落在沙特阿拉伯的塔布克机场。这究竟只是纯粹的幸运，还是隐藏着某种安全威胁呢？
Was it sheer luck? Or was there a security threat?
目前尚未有任何官方声明。不过，《耶路撒冷邮报》报道称，由于中东地区的紧张局势，为了应对可能的航线变更情况，航空公司额外安排了飞行员随行；这种变更可能会导致飞行时间延长，从而超出原机组人员的允许工作时间。一位官员对《耶路撒冷邮报》表示：“如果在科威特上空发生意外，航空公司要求改变航线的话，飞行时间将会增加1到2个小时。”无论原因是什么，这些额外派出的飞行员的在场最终起到了决定性的作用。
There has been no official statement. However, The Jerusalem Post reported that the additional pilots were placed on the flight in case of rerouting, amid tensions in the Middle East, which could have extended the journey and pushed the permitted duty hours of the original crew." If something happened over Kuwait and they told you to reroute, then you are putting 1-2 hours extra on the flight," an official told The Post. Whatever may be the reason, their presence on the aircraft proved decisive in the end.JET LANDS DESPITE MASSIVE DAMAGEThe final miracle was the aircraft itself landing safely, despite most of the rudder being ripped off the tail due to the rapid descent.
尽管飞机的尾部严重受损（尤其是方向舵几乎被完全撕裂），飞机还是成功降下了地面。方向舵是飞机尾部可移动的部分，用于控制飞机的转向方向。航空专家对飞机能够在坠落数千英尺后、在尾部遭受严重损坏的情况下仍安全着陆感到惊讶。前飞行员兼航空安全专家史蒂夫·阿罗约（Steve Arroyo）对美联社表示：“那是一次极其危险的下降过程，方向舵承受了巨大的空气动力冲击；我真的很惊讶飞机居然没有解体。”
The rudder is basically the movable section on the rear that helps turn the aircraft's nose left or right. Aviation experts were surprised the plane did not crash despite plunging thousands of feet and the massive damage to the tail." That was a serious descent, and strong aerodynamic forces on that rudder for that to happen. I am just amazed the aircraft didn't come apart," Steve Arroyo, a former pilot and aviation safety expert, told AP.- Ends
