Putin doesn’t want peace. Putin wants Ukraine. Enough is enough.
President Trump should rescind the diesel deal with Russia and use the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia Act to impose harsh sanctions on nations purchasing Russian energy, work with our allies to ensure Ukraine has the military support it needs to repel and defeat this Russian invasion once and for all. Slava Ukraini🇺🇸🇺🇦

Bravo la France 🇫🇷
❗️Zelensky says Ukraine has received all weapons production licenses promised by France. He added that work is now being accelerated to launch the FREYJA anti-ballistic missile system. #Ukraine

🔴 Voici le commandant de bord du vol Flydubai entre Dubai & Tel Aviv.
Il s’agit de Smit Machchhar, pilote d’origine indienne.
Poignardé par son officier pilote de ligne, il a trouvé la force et le courage d’empêcher le terroriste de détourner l’appareil, avec l’aide de passagers.

The captain of the Flydubai Flight to Tel Aviv has been identified as Smit Machchhar from India. He
was stabbed with a knife by his co-pilot, an Omani, in the cockpit on Flydubai flight FZ1073. Passengers and crew members intervened, subdued the attacker, and helped stabilize the flight. Both pilots were taken to hospital after landing and Saudi authorities have arrested the co pilot.
Capt. Machchhar remains under medical care. Wishing him a complete and speedy recovery. ♥️

HALLELUJAH: THEY’RE HOME. 🇮🇱🙏
After roughly 9 hours stranded in Saudi Arabia following the attempted attack on their flight, the Israeli passengers have finally landed safely at Ben Gurion.
From staring death in the face at 30,000 feet to landing safely in Saudi Arabia, and now finally home in Israel.
Praise God. What an unbelievable miracle.

Captain Smit Machchhar is a hero among heroes. His brave actions aboard the FlyDubai flight this morning saved countless lives and may well have prevented a cataclysmic regional war

The Indian captain is a true hero. He bravely fought the terrorist Omani co-pilot who repeatedly stabbed him, and despite being severely wounded, he managed to open the cabin door so the Israeli passengers could overpower the terrorist.

Ce matin, le 10 ans français est à 4,81%. Nous approchons de la barre des 5% que j'évoquais la semaine dernière sur @LCI.
Comment peut-on affirmer d'un coté qu'il faut protéger et servir la jeunesse de ce pays et accepter passivement l'idée de lui laisser l'ardoise de notre dette?
En 1936, le Front populaire avait financé le progrès social par la production. Depuis Mitterrand, nous le finançons lâchement par la dette dans un pays pourtant champion des impôts... Absurde.

The Flydubai Boeing Rudder sustained severe damage during the rapid descent that occurred today. The rudder suffered the damage because of the rapid, steep descent at high speed which put extreme aerodynamic loads on the it. The loads exceeded its design limits.
I am sure the pilot who landed this aircraft with a torn rudder had some serious challenge. The rudder provides yaw and directional control, so damage can reduce the crew’s ability to keep the aircraft aligned with the runway especially in a crosswind.
Thank God the aircraft landed safely and everyone is safe!

🔴 Yaniv, le passager qui aurait neutralisé le pilote soupçonné d’avoir provoqué la mise en piqué du vol Flydubai, a raconté à Benjamin Netanyahu :
« J’ai tiré sur le manche pour redresser l’avion et stopper le piqué. Heureusement, j’avais quelques notions d’aviation grâce à la série Mayday Air Crash. »

🇮🇳 REMEMBER THIS MAN: CAPTAIN SMIT MACHCHHAR.
An Indian captain flying hundreds of people from Dubai to Tel Aviv was stabbed in his own cockpit.
Wounded, bleeding, with the aircraft plunging thousands of feet, he fought back.
Then passengers and crew did something extraordinary:
They stormed the cockpit.
They restrained the attacker.
Other pilots took control.
And that plane LANDED.
Hundreds of families got their loved ones back today because ordinary people refused to freeze when everything went wrong.
Captain Smit Machchhar — India and the whole WORLD should be proud of you. 🇮🇳
And to the passengers and crew who ran toward the danger instead of away from it:
Heroes. Every single one of you.
This is what courage looks like.

🔴 Incident vol Flydubai entre Dubaï et Tel Aviv.
Le Boeing 737 MAX 8 a été gravement endommagé lors de sa descente rapide au moment de l’attaque.
Selon une analyse des données de vol, les passagers du vol flydubai FZ1073 auraient subi une phase de quasi-apesanteur (environ 0 à 0,2 g) pendant 15 à 25 secondes, après une chute d’environ 4 360 mètres en 37 secondes.

תיעוד ראשוני מחלון המטוס ברגעי האימה
המטוס נראה צולל מגובה של 30 אלף רגל לחמש עשרה בלבד תוך דקה במהירות של מאך אחד
דרמה אדירה מתרחשת בדובאי לפני זמן קצר
מטוס נוסעים שיוצא מדובאי עם 189 נוסעים עליו משדר קוד חירום תוך כדי שהוא צולל מטה בפתאומיות ,
בדקות הראשונות החשד היה כי מדובר בחטיפה אך די מהר הוברר כי מדובר בטייס שניסה להתאבד ולאחר ריב עם הטייס השני ונוסעים נוספים הושג שליטה על האירוע
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
