A terrifying attempted hijacking reportedly unfolding aboard a passenger jet carrying more than 170 people from Dubai to Tel Aviv. Israeli officials say the co-pilot stabbed the pilot and apparently tried to crash the plane. The chaos beginning roughly two and a half hours after fly Dubai flight 1073 left Dubai early Wednesday morning. The Associated Press reporting a fight broke out between the two pilots. One of them armed with a knife. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying the attacker stabbed the other pilot and quote apparently just tried to crash the plane with everyone on board. The jet then suddenly plunging, dropping from roughly 33,000 feet to 17,000 feet in about a minute according to AP's review of flight radar 24 data. As the emergency unfolded, flight radar 24 reporting the plane first began broadcasting

4:06squawk 7700, the international code for a general emergency. Minutes later, the code switching to squawk 7500, signaling unlawful interference aboard the aircraft and a possible hijacking. Reuters reporting the wounded pilot had apparently managed to release the cockpit door before collapsing, allowing people outside to get in. A passenger and crew member reportedly rushing into the cockpit and subduing the alleged attacker as others helped secure the flight deck. To other fly Dubai pilots who were traveling aboard the flight, then moving into the cockpit, taking control of the Boeing 737 MAX and stabilizing the aircraft. Israel reportedly scrambling fighter jets as officials feared the passenger plane had been hijacked. The fly Dubai pilots ultimately diverting to it to book in northwestern Saudi Arabia, landing safely roughly an hour after the aircraft first began its dramatic descent. Saudi officials saying both pilots were taken for medical treatment, video taken by passengers aboard the plane showing two bloodied men on the floor of the aircraft as people rendered medical aid and guarded the cockpit.

5:08Indian national captain, Smith Moucchir, taken to the hospital after the stabbing. The Indian Embassy in Saudi Arabia saying he is in stable condition. All passengers reportedly escaping without serious injury. After roughly eight hours on the ground in Saudi Arabia, the passengers finally leaving a border replacement fly Dubai aircraft. That plane arriving at Bangorian airport outside Tel Aviv Wednesday evening. Passengers greeted by cheering family members as people aboard reportedly sang and chanted after surviving the ordeal. Netanyahu praising the passengers and crew who stepped in to stop the attack in this translated clip. I salute those heroes who were resourceful and discovered resourceful nets and saved the plane. Netanyahu saying the pilot accused of carrying out the stabbing was arrested after landing, and has been questioned by Saudi authorities. Reuters reporting in Israeli official identified the alleged attacker as an Omani national. A motive has not yet been established. Israeli officials investigating whether the incident was terrorism.

6:09When Israeli security official telling CBS News, authorities are examining whether the co-pilot was attempting a 9-11 style attack and whether anyone else was involved. We spoke with retired decorated US Navy F-18 fighter pilot and top gun graduate, Wiz Buckley, who says the first major question is how someone suspected of trying to bring down an Israel-bound passenger jet was ever allowed into that cockpit. Who's in the front of the airplane? Obviously, it's a big deal. I'm shocked to be honest with you. This is a salute failure of Israeli security. They know anybody flying into Israel, they know everything about you. Passengers, the massots, the ticket line, talking to people, interviewing people. I'm shocked and I just saw either Netanyahu or his office just put out like, yeah, we're going to reevaluate non-Israeli's pilots actually flying into our country. I'm absolutely stunned that this is real. The state of Israel doesn't even have diplomatic relations with Oman, but this guy is allowed

7:10to fly into Israel. Sadly, whether it was 9-11 or Israel is almost 9-11, that's when we have to tighten things up. I'm shocked to massage the shinbed, whatever intelligence service in Israel, let this guy get to an airliner and fly it to Israel. I'm stunned. Buckley saying investigators will also need to determine exactly what weapon was used and how it wound up inside one of the most restricted areas of the aircraft. You're not playing racquetball in the cockpit of 737-800. It's kind of tight in there, so that's why you're seeing all the blood and all that type of stuff. Your security failure that we, Israel obviously has to look into is how this guy get a knife. I mean, if we're screening all the passengers, did they fail to screen the aircraft? I seriously doubt that. Was there inside help? Did somebody get this way, this guy through security? Did somebody plant a knife in the cockpit? So either security failed to find this guy with a knife, somebody planted a knife in the

8:12cockpit for him, or he potentially used the crash acts that's already in the cockpit. Buckley telling us the fact there happened to be another qualified fly-dew by crew aboard, maybe the single reason this ended without mass casualties. That is a grace of God moment. Fly-dew by just confirmed that that was an on-duty crew. They were either coming off a trip or reporting to a trip. So the fact that two fly-dew by aircraft were on board and flew that aircraft is just an act of God. Otherwise, we would be talking about an absolute tragedy. The US Supreme Court clearing the way for Tennessee to execute the only woman on the state's death row, reversing a last minute reprieve granted earlier in the day. Christophe Pikes execution halted yesterday morning by a federal appeals court, roughly an hour before she was scheduled to die by lethal injection. The Supreme Court stepping in last night at Tennessee's request, lifting that stay and allowing the execution to move forward.

9:14The 50-year-old convicted of murdering 19-year-old Colleen Slammer in Knoxville in 1995 when Pike was just 18 years old. Investigators saying Pike attacked Slammer on the University of Tennessee Agricultural campus, eventually killing her by smashing her in the head with a chunk of asphalt. Pike reportedly keeping a piece of Slammer's skull after the murder, according to WVLT. The killing drunk national attention after Slammer was found with an inverted pentagram carved into her chest. Since then, Boyfriend later testifying that he was the one who carved the symbol. Investigators saying jealousy was the motive. Pike believing Slammer was interested in her boyfriend. Pike convicted a first-degree murder and sentenced to death in 1996. Her boyfriend receiving a life sentence because he was 17 at the time of the murder. Pike later acknowledging it took her years to fully understand the gravity of what she had done. Her conduct behind bars, also including another violent crime. Pike convicted in 2001 of attempted first-degree murder for attacking a fellow inmate. Her attorney spending years arguing the jury that sentenced Pike to death never heard

10:18the full extent of her deeply troubled childhood. A psychologist hired by the defense reportedly documenting severe neglect, along with repeated physical and sexual abuse beginning when Pike was a child. Pike's trial attorney decided not to call that psychologist that trial, and later attorneys arguing Pike had received ineffective assistance of counsel. That argument failing in the courts. A federal judge rejecting Pike's habeas petition in 2016. Pike recently seeking executive clemency from Republican Governor Bill Lee, Governor Lee announcing Monday he would not intervene, saying he was allowing the sentence imposed by the state to stand. Pike taking another request to the US Supreme Court, the Justices denying both her application for a stay and her petition for review Tuesday night. That appeared to leave Pike out of options. Then yesterday morning, another federal challenge producing a last-minute stay. The six-circuit saying it needs additional time to consider whether Pike can reopen proceedings, involving allegations of childhood sexual abuse, and whether those claims received adequate consideration in her earlier case.

11:19Tennessee immediately asking the US Supreme Court to overturn the stay and allow the execution to proceed. The Justices agreeing Wednesday evening, clearing the way for Tennessee to carry out Pike's execution. Slammer's mother speaking to Knoxville TV station W.B.I.R. in 2021, saying she wants the sentence to be carried out. But I want to see from the judge right now, would be to get a date and put her down instead of waiting another year or another day. There's not a day to go find out, think about coming, or how she died and how rough it was. And I just want Chris to down so I can end it, relieve my daughter, so she's finally going to be resting. Honestly, my heart breaks everything was I because I keep it, I keep it, I keep it, I keep it, I keep it, I keep it, I keep it, I keep it, I keep it, I keep it, I keep it, I keep it, I keep it, I keep it, I keep it, I keep it, I keep it, I keep it, I keep it and I want this to happen before I die. Otherwise, nobody will see justice. Coming up, Sean Diddy-Kohms reportedly turning federal prison into something closer to a VIP experience.
