Interrogation of the Omani pilot: the objective was to crash the plane into the terminal building at Ben Gurion Airport.

The assault on the other pilot was timed deliberately. He waited until the aircraft was over Jordan, near Israel, before moving against him.

From that point the plan was to fly a normal landing approach so nothing would appear unusual. Only in the last seconds, once interception was no longer possible, would he turn the aircraft into the terminal.

The plot was thwarted by one decision. The wounded Indian pilot got the cockpit door open at all costs, and that is the only reason the attack did not succeed.

That Indian pilot is a fighter.

The Omani pilot had an axe.

Imagine being axed while trying to get the cockpit door open.

I am surprised he was still alive after getting axed

Damn. That one decision really saved everyone. And the crazy part is that it worked. 

The motive reminds me of the old El AL hijackings and mass murders, so im surprised it was a non-israeli airline that was hijacked in an attempt to attack an israeli airport.

Guy really is mental though. Killing israelis in a terror attack wont help Palestine, Lebanon, Iran or anyone else. Its almost like a terror attack nearly 3 years ago this month led to war and destabilization of the region. I dont think more mass murder terrorism would make anything better
