It's an incredible story.
It seems...
I mean, I can relate the story, but you're better off getting it from him. But by this time, I guess, they have a lot of fake stories out there and, you know, you never know what's happening.
But I did speak to
Bibi Netanyahu
at length about this event. And it seems as though the copilot
was
perhaps a terrorist or perhaps
a whack job.
And
he stabbed the pilot.
The pilot was in very bad shape,
and I guess he still is in very bad shape.
But he had the sense to... Amazing
to... In a way, he was a hero
to open the door. You know, those doors are solid steel. You can't get them open from outside.
He was able to fall back and get the door open and scream.
And
a plumber, an Israeli plumber,
never flew a plane, was rarely in planes, very rarely flew.
An Israeli plumber saw what was happening and strong. You know, when you lift pipe all day, you're strong.
And he saw what was going on and he heard the screaming.
He was toward the front
where you had security in the back. You know, you had security
and you had another flight crew,
but they didn't have time. The plane was going sharply down at an unbelievable angle, so sharp that the rudder ripped off the back of the plane. Plane wasn't designed to go
at a speed anywhere near that.
And so it was well beyond its limits.
And he ripped
with his g forces as they were. He ripped this guy out of the seat, threw him back. The crowd got him. The passengers got him,
grabbed him.
And having never flown a part... A plane, he took the stick,
lifted it up,
and leveled out the plane before it crashed.
Now this is the story that I heard. I don't know if it's true,
but that's the story that I got from Bibi
and from
a couple of... Probably early. I don't know if you've heard that story yet. I think it's an amazing... So a plumber never flew a plane. Strong guy.
