从迪拜飞往特拉维夫的1073号航班上，驾驶舱内发生血腥袭击，随后飞机惊恐地俯冲而下。」「我不应该这样死去，」一名乘客说道。官员们表示，这起袭击的动机尚不清楚。起初，人们以为只是飞机遭遇了颠簸。但随后情况变得比普通的颠簸严重得多。「飞机开始上下剧烈摇晃，」乘客梅塔尔·佐勒说。
Bloody Attack in the Cockpit of a Flight to Israel, and a Terrifying Plunge“I don’t deserve to die like this,” said one passenger on Flight 1073 from Dubai to Tel Aviv. The motive of the cockpit stabbing remains unknown, officials said.
不久后，他们听到了尖叫声，这些声音似乎来自驾驶舱附近，另一名乘客亚当·波洛文奇克说。「我们试图让孩子们保持冷静，」波洛文奇克在接受采访时说道。
At first, it seemed like turbulence. Then like something worse than merely rough air on the flight Wednesday from Dubai to Tel Aviv.
接着，飞机突然以惊人的角度俯冲，头顶的储物柜被撞开，行李四处飞散。乘客们尖叫着祈祷，许多人以为自己即将丧命。
“The plane just started going up and down,” said Meital Zoller, a passenger on the FlyDubai plane. Soon, she said, “we started hearing screams.”The shouts were coming from near the cockpit, said another passenger, Adam Polovincik. “We tried to be ‘cool’ for our kids,” Mr. Polovincik said in an interview.
目前可以确定的是，在沙特阿拉伯沙漠上空的驾驶舱内发生了激烈的冲突，是乘客和机组人员的及时干预才挽救了局面，机上大约170名乘客经历了令人极度恐惧的几分钟。
Then the bottom dropped out. The plane, a 737, nose-dived at a sickening angle, overhead bins popped open, and luggage flew out. Passengers shrieked and prayed. Many were sure they were about to die.
据以色列官员和乘客称，其中一名飞行员袭击了另一名飞行员，并试图让飞机坠毁。
What is clear so far is that there was a bloody clash in the cockpit miles above the desert of Saudi Arabia, that intervention by passengers and crew members saved the day, and that the roughly 170 people aboard endured minutes of mortal terror.
不过，这架飞机的起飞地阿联酋和降落地沙特阿拉伯的当局尚未对此事件予以证实。
One of the plane’s pilots had attacked the other and was apparently trying to crash the plane, Israeli officials and passengers said. The authorities in the United Arab Emirates, where the flight originated, and Saudi Arabia, where the aircraft touched down, have not confirmed that.
