A flydubai co-pilot stabbed the captain and apparently tried to crash a Dubai-Tel Aviv flight with over 170 people on board. The captain resisted and got help from the cabin, preventing disaster. The incident renews debate over locked cockpit doors, which can keep out help during a pilot attack. Israel is increasing pilot background checks, and flydubai has cancelled further Tel Aviv flights.
