Da prendere con sette paia di pinze, da avherald:

According to a passenger on board, the incident apparently continued for some time before passengers realised what was happening. They initially experienced prolonged turbulence and a steep descent, while the seat-belt sign reportedly never came on.
A woman emerging from the lavatory realised there was a stabbing and raised the alarm. Two Israeli passengers then entered the cockpit, which was reportedly unlocked, and managed to overpower the attacker. A British pilot travelling as a passenger subsequently landed the aircraft.
The passenger also said the cabin crew consisted entirely of men whose behaviour during the flight appeared unusual to him, and believes this — together with the reportedly unlocked cockpit — should be investigated.
The injured pilot was reportedly evacuated in serious condition. His current condition is unknown.
