A scary situation unfolded on a Flydubai flight when a passenger had to take control of the plane to keep everyone safe.
One passenger, who works as a plumber, has been getting a lot of attention for his actions. People are calling him a hero and even a 'sex symbol' because of how he handled the high-pressure moment.
Another passenger on board said he knew what to do because he had watched a TV show about similar situations before. He used what he learned on screen to help during the crisis.
Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, spoke about the event. He said the whole thing looked like something out of a 'Hollywood movie.' However, not everyone agreed with his take. Some viewers on Fox News felt his description made a very serious and dangerous event sound like a script for a blockbuster film, which they thought was wrong.
Right now, the focus is on the passengers who stepped up when things went wrong. Their quick thinking helped turn a potential disaster into a story of survival. Officials are still looking into exactly how the hijacking happened and what steps need to be taken to make sure it doesn't happen again.
