FlyDubai attacker had been BANNED from flying: Report

THE CHICKENS. CHARLIE: OR THE PIGS, THEY LOVE. THEM. WE'LL SHOW YOU THAT. RACHEL: ALL RIGHT. WE CAN NOW REPORT THE NAME AND. IDENTITY OF THE FLY DUBAI. CO-PILOT ACCUSED OF ATTEMPTING. A HIJACK ON THE PLANE TO. ISRAEL. GRIFF: CHANLEY PAINTER WITH THE. IDENTITY. >> A NATIONAL THAT WAS BORN IN.

THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES. REPORTEDLY IN 2024 GROUNDED BY. OMAN AIR AFTER CONCERNS HE HAD. ADOPTED RADICAL ISLAMIC VIEWS. AND FLY DUBAI REPORTEDLY FAILED. TO CHECK WHO WORKED FOR THE. AIRLINE LESS THAN A YEAR AT THE. TIME OF THE ATTACK WHICH CAUSED. THE PLANE TO PLUMMET 18,000. FEET WHILE THE CAPTAIN NOT ONLY. STAVED OFF HIS ATTACKER AND. HEROIC PASSENGERS AND OFF DUTY. PILOTS LEAPT INTO ACTION.

REGAINING CONTROL OF THE PLANE. CARRYING 182 PEOPLE. AND USING THE TRASH AX TO. ATTACK THE CAPTAIN WHILE TRYING. TO CARRY OUT THE QUOTE, TERRORIST ATTACK. INVESTIGATIONS ARE UNDERWAY TO. SEE WHETHER HE ACTED AS A LONE. WOLF OR HAD CONTACT WITH. EXTREMIST GROUPS. AND HIS INTEND WAS TO CRASH THE. AIRCRAFT IN ISRAEL. WE'RE NOW ALSO LEARNING OF THE.

MAN'S SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS WHICH. DISTURBING MESSAGES, INCLUDING. TALKING ABOUT KILLING JEWS AND. POSTED A PICTURE OF AN AL-QAEDA. SUICIDE BOMBER. HOW A CITIZEN OF OMAN WHICH. DOES NOT RECOGNIZE ISRAEL AS A. COUNTRY, BECAUSE THEY MUST HOLD. PASSPORTS FOR COUNTRIES WHICH. HAVE DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS. GRIFF: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THIS WAS NOTHING SHORTS OF A.

MIRACLE AND HERE IS, WE CAN. SHOW YOU ON THE SCREEN, THE. WALL STREET JOURNAL DID A DEEP. DIVE LOOKING AT THE DATA. AVAILABLE FROM FLIGHT RADAR 24. SO, IT TAKES OFF AT 7:05 A.M. FROM DUBAI. GETS UP AT CRUISING SPEED AND. IT'S GOING ALONG HERE AND IT'S. AT ABOUT 35,000 FEET, JUST. UNDER THAT. AT 9:21 A.M., IT NOSE DIVES, THE ATTACK IS HAPPENING FALLS. OVER 15,000 FEET IN A MATTER OF. SECONDS AND WITHIN 92 SECONDS, THEY PULL IT BACK UP.

THE YOKE COMES UP AND THEY ARE. FIGHTING WITH THE TURBULENCE. AND GETTING THINGS UNDER. CONTROL AND MIRACULOUSLY. ULTIMATELY LAND IT. LET ME TAKE YOU DEEPER INTO THE. DIVE. THE DIVE, SHOWED YOU THERE, 15,000 FEET, THE ANGLE WAS 39. DEGREES, IT WAS TRAVELLING AT. SOME 600 KNOTS. THE PASSENGERS ARE FEELING. UPWARDS OF THE SPEED OF SOUND, 3G FORCES GOING DOWN.

A NORMAL PLANE WOULD STAY AT A. 3 DEGREE ANGLE YOU SEE HERE, THIS WAS A 39 DEGREE ANGLE. THIS IS A SITUATION THAT WOULD. HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. TO PULL OUT OF. NOW, ANOTHER THING THAT THE. PLANE DURING THAT DESCENT, THE. DAMAGE IT TOOK, THE RUDDER, IT'S OBVIOUS CONTROLS THIS BACK. AND FORTH RIPPED OFF PART OF. THATTEN 0 THE WING, THE SHOCK. WAVES WERE SHEARING ACROSS THAT.

CAUSING ALL SORTS OF TROUBLE, I. THINK I CAN DRAW A LITTLE ON. THAT. YOU CAN SEE THE WIND PATTERNS. CAUSING ALL SORTS OF DAMAGE. THERE, THE RUDDER BACK HERE. DAMAGED. HIGH HINGE PANELS, USED TO ROLL. AND OSCILLATE FROM SHOCK WAVES. ON THE WIND AS WELL. THIS WAS TAKING QUITE A BIT OF. DAMAGE. I WANT TO SHOW YOU ONE OTHER. THING, TOO, AND THAT IS THE. PASSENGER WHO PULLS THE YOKE UP. STOPPING THE DECENT. NOW, IT WAS TWO OFF DUTY PILOTS. ON BOARD THAT ULTIMATELY TOOK.

CONTROL OF THE PLANE AND ABLE. TO LAND IT, BUT THIS HERO RIGHT. IN THIS PART, RIGHT HERE, THE. HEIGHT OF THAT DESCENT AT 39. DEGREES TRAVELLING WITH 3G'S, THAT PASSENGER WAS ABLE TO PULL. UP ON THE YOKE WHICH STOPPED. THAT DESCENT WHICH WOULD HAVE. LIKELY HAD BEEN FATAL WITHOUT A. DOUBT HAD THAT NOT HAPPENED. THAT IS REALLY SOMETHING AND. NOW WE KNOW THE STORY OF FLY. DUBAI. WHEN YOU TALK AND BY THE WAY,

YOU CAN SEE IF IT'S NOT. OBVIOUS, THAT IS THAT DESTROYED. RUDDER ON THE TAIL THAT WE WERE. TALKING ABOUT, THAT'S WHAT IT. LOOKED LIKE WHEN IT TOOK OFF. THIS PLANE, GUYS, WAS VERY. LIKELY POSSIBLY NOT EVEN. LANDABLE DESPITE THE MIRACULOUS. STOP OF THAT HERO PASSENGER. THAT PULLED IT BACK UP. BUT WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT. LITERALLY DROPPING AT 39. DEGREES, 600 KNOTS OVER 15,000. FEET, IT'S JUST AN INCREDIBLE.

STORY. RACHEL: DO THEY HAVE VIDEO. FOOTAGE FROM THAT DIVE? OBVIOUSLY THIS IS BEFORE THE. DIVE, WERE PEOPLE TAKING VIDEO. FOOTAGE AS IT WAS GOING DOWN? >> I DON'T KNOW. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE VIDEO. WE'RE SHOWING IS FROM THE. MOMENT THAT THEY TOOK THE. DESCENT. I THINK THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO. CATASTROPHIC IT WOULD HAVE BEEN. IMPOSSIBLE FOR SOMEBODY TO BE. FILMING SOMETHING, I BELIEVE. THIS IS AFTER IT'S RECOVERED. >> WHY ISN'T THE LUGGAGE.

COMPARTMENTS AND EVERYTHING. TORN APART. CHARLIE: WELL, THEY'RE CLOSED. RACHEL: THAT MUST BE BEFORE IT. WENT DOWN. GRIFF: OR AFTER IT'S STABILIZED. IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT NOW. THERE WERE TWO AIR DUBAI PILOTS. THAT WERE JUST TRAVELLING AS. PASSENGERS, THEY WERE ABLE TO. GET UP INTO THE COCKPIT AND. MAINTAIN THE DAMAGED, HEAVILY. DAMAGED PLANE AND STABILIZE IT. CHARLIE: IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT. A BIG PLANE LIKE THIS 737 MAX. IS NOT LIKE A FIGHTER JET. IT'S NOT DESIGNED TO GO THOSE. SPEEDS AND YOU TALK TO.

ENGINEERS AND WHAT THEY TELL. YOU IS THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS. PLANE SURVIVED 10 TIMES WHAT A. PLANE LIKE THIS IS SUPPOSED TO. BE ABLE TO SURVIVE ON THAT KIND. OF--. >> IT WOULD HAVE COME APART. CHARLIE: EXACTLY. THE ONLY THING THAT CAME OFF OF. THIS PLANE WAS THAT BACK RUDDER. AND OF COURSE, IF ANYTHING ELSE. HAD COME OFF, LIKE THE--. IF THE TAIL HAD COME OFF, WHICH. IS WHAT MOST PEOPLE SAY SHOULD. HAVE COME OFF AT THAT SPEED, THAT DIVE, THEN THE FLIGHT--.

IT WOULDN'T HAVE MATTERED IF. THEY LEVELED IT OFF. GRIFF: SUCH A GREAT AND. IMPORTANT POINT, CHARLIE. IN THE WALL STREET JOURNAL THEY. TALK ABOUT DURING THE. PRECIPITOUS DEEP DIVE, THE AIR. FRAME WAS SUBJECTED TO, AS I. MENTIONED AN ESTIMATED 3G'S OF. FORCE. NOW, COMPARE THAT TO WHAT A. TYPICAL SPACECRAFT EXPERIENCES. DURING LAUNCH. THAT IS WHAT THIS PLANE WAS. EXPERIENCING DURING THAT DIVE. AND MANY ARE LOOKING AT WHETHER.

OR NOT WHAT IT SUSTAINED. EXCEEDED WHAT A 737, BOEING 737. MAX WHICH IS WHAT THIS PLANE. WAS, WHICH HAS A LIMIT OF ABOUT. 2 1/2 G-FORCE IT CAN STAND. IT MAY HAVE SURVIVED BEYOND. WHAT THE LIMITS WERE CAPABLE OF. . RACHEL: A MIRACLE, INSIDE, MUCH. MORE CALM, AND I WOULD HAVE. EXPECTED THE LUGGAGE TO FALL. OUT.
