'FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE': Pilot remembers 'last push' while being attacked

>> AT THAT MOMENT, I WAS. FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE. BUT THERE WAS A MOMENT WHEN I. REALIZED I HAD FALLEN DOWN DUE. MY INJURIES AND I REALIZED THAT. IF I DON'T GET UP, I HAVE BEEN A. PILOT FOR 17 YEARS, I HAVE BEEN. A CAPTAIN FOR THE LAST 11 YEARS, I KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING IN A. FLIGHT EVEN WITH MY EYES CLOSED. WHEN I WAS ON THE GROUND, I. REALIZED THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS. GOING DOWN, AND I TOLD MYSELF. THIS IS THE LAST PUSH, PUSH IT,

SMIT, THE DOOR WAS RIGHT THERE. I WAS STILL GETTING HIT BUT I. OPENED THE DOOR. EVERYONE ELSE WHO HELPED WAS. JUST AS ININCOMMITMENT. >> OPENING UP TO INDIA'S PRIME. MINISTER YESTERDAY, OPENING UP. MULTIPLE COUNTRIES ARE INVOLVED. IN THE INVESTIGATION AS WE TRY. TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE SUSPECT. AND THEIR MOTIVATION. HERE'S WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR.

FIRST OFF, IT WAS THE CO-PILOT. THAT DECIDED TO RADICALIZE. HIMSELF TWO AND A HALF HOURS. INTO THE FLIGHT. IS HE FROM OMAN. WE HAVE GOT THAT CONFIRMED. IS HE AN OMANI CITIZEN, TOO. ACCORDING TO SPIELMAN, A. SPOKESPERSON FOR BENJAMIN. NETANYAHU, HE TALKS ON WHOEVER'S. NAME IS THEY KNOW. HE TALKED ON SOCIAL MEDIA ABOUT. KILLING JEWS, HE HAS BEEN. RADICALIZED OBVIOUSLY. THE EARLY ASSESSMENTS ARE HE. WENT UNDER RADICAL. INDOCTRINATION. WE HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE, HAVEN'T WE? AND THE ISRAELI OFFICIALS SAY HE. APPEARED TO BE ACTING ALONE. OMAN AS YOU KNOW WHERE IS HE.

FROM HALF IRAN CAMP AND HALF IN. THE UAE CAMP. THEY ARE PLAYING ALL SIDES. FINALLY THE KEY QUESTIONS. WHAT WAS THE MOTIVE? WHO PUT HIM UP TO IT? DONALD TRUMP INDICATED THE. PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. SAID LINKS TO IRAN. UAE IS INVESTIGATING. CAN THEY BE COUNTED ON TO DO. THEIR OWN INVESTIGATION? AT SOME POINT ISRAEL IS GOING TO. JUMP IN. HERE TO DISCUSS THIS IS ISRAEL'S. SPECIAL OPS VETERAN AND FOUNDER. OF THE CEO OF GIDEON AN AI. THREAT DETENGZ FOR LAW. ENFORCEMENT. ERIN COPE COHEN JOINS US NOW.

IF YOU WERE ON THAT FLIGHT. I WOULD EXPECT TO YOU ACT LIKE. THIS BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN. TRAINED LIKE THIS. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE. CIVILIAN ACTING LIKE SPECIAL OPS. WHEN LIVES ARE ON THE LINE. >> WE CALL THAT. [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]. >> UNIT WARRIOR NETANYAHU IN. 1972. PART OF THE RAID THAT TOOK DOWN. THE TEL AVIV AIRCRAFT. THE IS A VENA HIJACKING, THE. ISRAELI SPECIAL OPS UNIT DRESSED.

UP AS TECHNICIANS TO REFUEL THE. PLANE WHILE IT WAS DOWN ON THE. GROUND AND OUR HERO MADE ENTRY. ON THAT OPERATION. LEGENDARY. THESE GUYS DID IT ON AIRCRAFT. WITH NO TRAINING, NO WEAPONS AND. HAVING SERVED IN ONE OF ISRAEL'S. TOP SPECIAL OPERATIOIONS AND. SPENDING 25 YEARS TRAINING. AMERICAN SWAT TEAMS HERE, BRIAN,

I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE MOST. IMPORTANT THING I HAVE BROUGHT. HERE IS WHAT WE SAW ON THAT. AIRCRAFT WHICH IN HEBREW WE CALL. IT. [SPEAKING ANOTHER LANGUAGE]. >> RESILIENCE BUILT UNDER. PRESSURE. YOU CAN HAVE ALL THE FIREARMS. TRAINING IN THE WORLD. ALL THE FIGHT TRAINING IN THE. WORLD. IF YOU CANNOT FLIP THAT SWITCH. THAT FEAR DOESN'T DISAPPEAR. IF YOU CANNOT FLIP THAT SWITCH, REGARDLESS OF IF YOU HAVE A. WEAPON, IF YOU ARE TRAINED, YOU. ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE ENTRY. THAT MINDSET, BRIAN, RUNS ALL.

THE WAY THROUGH THE IDF AND. THAT'S WHAT YOU SAW WITH THAT. INDIVIDUAL AND EVERYBODY ELSE. WHO BREACHED COCKPIT. >> PILOT LOCKED HIMSELF IN AND. COULD HAVE CRASHED. THE PLUMBER WHO HOPPPPED INTO TE. COCKPIT, THE AVIATION EXPERTS. WERE TELLING ME IT TOOK SUPER. HUMAN STRENGTH TO BE ABLE TO. PULL BACK ON THAT THROTTLE AND. STRAIGHTEN OUT THAT PLANE THAT. WAS NOSE DIVING WHICH IS PRETTY. EXTRAORDINARY. HERE'S THE PRIME MINISTER. YESTERDAY TALKING ABOUT THE.

OMANI CO-PILOT. EVEN GOT -- HOW HE EVEN GOT ON. THE PLANE TO BEGIN WITH SHOWS A. LAPSE AND A BREACH. >> HE WAS AN OMANI NATIONAL. AND WE HAVE CONSTRAINTS THAT SAY. YOU CAN'T HAVE PILOTS WHO DON'T. HAVE -- FROM COUNTRIES THAT. DON'T HAVE DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS. WITH ISRAEL THERE WAS A LOOPHOLE. HERE AND WE ARE TAKING CARE OF. THAT, AMONG OTHER THINGS BY THE. WAY. WITH THE FULL COOPERATION, I. HAVE TO SAY OF THE EMIRATI. GOVERNMENT. WE ARE BOTH INTERESTED IN MAKING. SURE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

AND IT MIGHT BE ATTEMPTED AGAIN. WE HAVE INDICATIONONS THAT THE. IRAN AND ITS PROXIES ARE TRYING. TO CONDUCT ATTACKS AGAINST. ISRAEL AND ISRAELIS RIGHT NOW IN. ELECTION SEASON WE HAVE A LOT OF. QUESTIONS, STILL. FINAL THOUGHT, ERIN? >> BRIAN, THIS IS WHAT WE CALL. IN THE INTELLIGENCE BUSINESS, THE SUICIDE, HOMICIDE. CONVERGENCE WHEN AN ACTOR DOWN.

THE PATHWAY THAT THEY HIT A. CERTAIN THRESHOLD IN THE. INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY AND. THEY'RE READY TO PIVOT OUTWARDS. SO HIS GOAL, ALTHOUGH WE SAW. THAT HOMICIDE ATTEMPT, THE GOAL. IS REALLY SUICIDE. SUICIDE IS WHAT GIVES HIS OWN. DEATH MEANING AND SO SUICIDE. IDEATION MOVING FORWARD GOING TO. BE THE MAJOR EARLY WORK RADAR. BLITZ THAT ISRAELI INTEL U.S. INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES ARE GOING. TO BE LOOKING FOR. THE REREASON WHY, BRIAN. HE LEAKED ONLINE 85% OF THESE.

KILLERS TODAY ARE LEAKING SOME. TYPE OF INTENT ONLINE U.S. LAW. ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES NEED TO BE. HUNTING THAT EARLY MORNING RADAR. BLIP, THAT'S WHAT MY AI IS. HUNTING. THAT'S HOW WE HAVE TO GET IN. FRONT OF THESE ATTACKS. I PROMISE YOU WE ARE GOING TO. SEE MORE OF THIS. AND WE HAVE GOT GET IN FRONT OF. IT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. >> Brian: ANOTHER TREASON LI.
