Bipartisan House resolution honors pilot, passengers who stopped FlyDubai hijacking...

A bipartisan resolution was introduced in the US House of Representatives to honor the pilot and passengers who prevented the hijacking of FlyDubai flight 1073. The flight was traveling from Dubai to Tel Aviv when an Omani copilot stabbed the pilot in the cockpit and attempted to seize control of the aircraft.

The resolution recognizes the actions taken last Wednesday that averted the attempted takeover. The incident involved an international flight with a destination in Israel.
