This is Asad Rejwan, one of the five men who breached the cockpit and subdued the copilot. His firsthand account: Someone started screaming at the front, “There’s a knife in the cockpit!” and the plane started plummeting. His daughters started flying out of their seats. “I need to fight to save my wife and daughters.” He and four other guys broke into the cockpit, kicking and punching the copilot. Yaniv was the first in. The pilot had managed to unlock the cockpit door. This was all happening as the plane was plummeting. A paramedic and a nurse who were on board saved the pilot’s life. A British pilot who was on the plane took over the controls and landed the aircraft. These five turned a near-calamity into a victory that will be recounted for decades. A sort of mini-Entebbe raid, but instead of elite paratroopers, an ad hoc group of Israeli everymen.
