*REVEALED:* The flydubai captain wounded in the cockpit attack has described how the incident unfolded, saying the co-pilot initially asked if he could pray in the cockpit — a request the captain said did not seem unusual.
Around four to five minutes later, the captain said he was suddenly struck repeatedly in the back of the head. His vision became severely blurred, and moments later, he felt the aircraft enter a sharp descent.
Despite his injuries, the captain managed to open the cockpit door at one point, but said the co-pilot quickly shut it again. People outside attempted to enter using the cockpit access code, but the co-pilot allegedly refused to grant them access from inside.
Lying injured on the cockpit floor, the captain recalled hearing the aircraft rushing downward as passengers screamed.
Believing he might not survive, he said he summoned “one last fight,” forced himself back toward the cockpit door, reached the internal twist handle and opened it.
