迪拜航空副驾驶持斧袭机长致客机骤降 待命飞行员接管迫降沙特Flydubai Co-Pilot Attacks Captain with Axe Midair Before Plane Diverts to Saudi Arabia

在迪拜飞往特拉维夫的航班进入巡航阶段约两个半小时后，涉案副驾驶在驾驶舱内涉嫌操起常备应急斧对机长斯米特·马奇哈尔发起持续砍击。由于执飞特拉维夫航线执行严格安检标准，调查人员起初曾根据乘客初步陈述研判凶器是否为偷带的刀具，最终确认袭击工具为原本存放在驾驶舱内用于应急破拆的斧头。目击者称舱内多处溅血，机长在遇袭后身受重伤。

Approximately two and a half hours into the scheduled flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv, the co-pilot allegedly seized a cockpit crash axe and repeatedly attacked Captain Smit Machchhar. Given the stringent security protocols applied to flights heading into Israel, investigators initially examined passenger reports suggesting a smuggled knife might have been used, before establishing that the weapon was the crash axe standardly stored inside the cockpit for emergency escape. Witnesses recounted seeing blood splattered across the flight deck as the captain sustained severe stab and strike wounds.

袭击发生时飞机随即陷入剧烈失控状态，在极短时间内垂直急坠1.7万英尺（约5200米）。根据机上乘客与后续技术通报，这场急剧俯冲对机体结构造成严重气动负荷，导致客机方向舵的一部分在空中被硬生生撕裂脱落。在机长倒地并竭力尝试自救的同时，客机持续急速失高，机组随后对外发出了求救信号并紧急寻找降落备降场。

The violent struggle inside the flight deck immediately sent the aircraft into a dangerous dive, plunging 17,000 feet (5,200 meters) in rapid succession. According to eyewitness accounts and subsequent briefings, the extreme descent exerted severe aerodynamic stress on the airframe, tearing away part of the aircraft's rudder midair. As the wounded captain lay on the floor and the aircraft continued to sink rapidly, crew members issued an emergency mayday call while desperately seeking an airfield for an immediate forced landing.

在驾驶舱内遭受袭击并倒地负伤的机长斯米特·马奇哈尔意识到客机正在失控下坠，随即尽力完成最后一次尝试，从内部解开了驾驶舱门锁。舱门打开后，前排乘客与赶来的机上人员合力将涉案副驾驶拉出驾驶舱并将其制服。坐在前排的目击乘客丹尼尔·施利希特回忆称，当时场面极为混乱，嫌疑人被乘客合力控制后曾一度高喊要求将其击毙。

Lying injured on the flight deck floor, Captain Smit Machchhar realized the aircraft was descending uncontrollably and executed a final push to unlock the security door from the inside. The opened door allowed screaming forward-row passengers to intervene, grappling with the co-pilot before dragging him away from the flight deck and overpowering him in the cabin aisle. Eyewitness Daniel Schlichter, seated in row two, described a chaotic struggle, noting that after being subdued, the attacker shouted at the crew to kill him.

机上恰好搭乘了两名身着制服的调配待命飞行员，其原定任务是执飞特拉维夫返回迪拜的后续航班。目击者称，其中一名待命飞行员迅速跃过正在扭打的人群进入驾驶舱控制操纵台，随后另一名飞行员也进入并重新锁闭舱门。两人耗费约十分钟以上的时间稳住受损客机，并在沙特阿拉伯完成安全迫降。马奇哈尔随后被送往当地医院并转运至阿布扎比救治，伤情目前保持稳定。

The aircraft happened to carry two off-duty, uniformed deadheading pilots assigned to fly the return leg from Tel Aviv back to Dubai. According to witnesses, one of the reserve pilots moved immediately past the passengers wrestling with the suspect, vaulted into the cockpit, and seized the flight controls, followed by the second pilot who secured the door behind them. The two pilots spent more than ten minutes working to stabilize the damaged plane before executing a safe emergency diversion into Saudi Arabia. Machchhar was treated at a local hospital and subsequently airlifted to Abu Dhabi in stable condition.

阿联酋总检察长哈马德·赛义夫·阿尔-沙姆西通过国家通讯社表示，针对该事件的初步调查显示，涉案副驾驶企图实施一起“恐怖行动”，检方正在加紧查明具体作案动机及相关联络网络。以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡称，涉案人员系阿曼籍公民，在迫降沙特阿拉伯后已当场被沙特当局扣留并接受深入讯问。内塔尼亚胡在接受媒体采访时表示，袭击者极可能企图坠毁客机，且曾接受过极端思想灌输。

UAE Attorney General Hamad Saif Al Shamsi stated through the national news agency that initial findings reveal the co-pilot attempted to carry out a 'terrorist act,' with prosecutors actively working to establish the underlying motives and any external connections. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu identified the suspect as an Omani national who remains in Saudi custody following the emergency diversion. Speaking to Fox News, Netanyahu indicated the attacker had undergone radical Islamist indoctrination and very likely intended to down the aircraft.

澳大利亚联邦警察（AFP）发表声明证实，正联合各州警方以及国家安全情报机构，就涉案人员与澳大利亚的过往关联展开联合审查。知情人士与澳大利亚广播公司（ABC）披露，嫌疑人曾于2014年获得澳大利亚学生签证，并在2015年至2017年期间在澳求学，后于2019年因未注册课程而被正式注销签证。反恐部门正重点核查其在澳逗留期间是否存在思想极端化的迹象，澳方表示将在适当时机通报调查进展。

The Australian Federal Police confirmed it is collaborating with state police and the nation's domestic security agency to investigate the man's historical ties to Australia. Sourced reports from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation revealed the co-pilot was issued a student visa in 2014, studied in the country between 2015 and 2017, and had his visa cancelled in 2019 after falling out of active course enrollment. Counter-terrorism officials are examining whether he was radicalized while residing in Australia, with federal authorities promising an official update at an appropriate time.

随着调查深入，涉案副驾驶哈马姆·阿尔-哈马米的过往职业与受训经历逐步公开。美国媒体报道指出，阿尔-哈马米此前在阿曼国家航空阿曼航空工作期间，曾因其表现出的极端观点引发安全担忧，随后被航空公司移出飞行训练项目，并转岗至其他地面或非飞行职务。两名了解调查情况的知情人士也向《纽约时报》透露，其对极端伊斯兰主义观点的信奉曾促使阿曼官方对其展开审查。

As the multilateral probe progresses, new details have surfaced regarding the professional record and aviation history of co-pilot Hamam al-Hammami. According to US media reports, during his previous tenure at Oman Air, the national carrier of Oman, Al-Hammami was removed from flight training due to concerns surrounding his radical views and was reassigned to another non-flight role within the company. Two people briefed on the investigation told The New York Times that his embrace of extreme Islamist views had also prompted Omani authorities to scrutinize him prior to his employment at Flydubai.

除了中东本土的任职经历外，阿尔-哈马米还曾参与海外远程高等教育。英国白金汉郡新大学证实，阿尔-哈马米自2020年起修读该校开设的远程学习课程，并于2023年正式毕业获得航空管理学士学位。该校同时强调，阿尔-哈马米在校期间仅完成了管理理论课程的学习，并未在该校接受任何实际飞行驾驶技能培训。

Beyond his airline employment in the Gulf, Al-Hammami pursued overseas higher education through a distance-learning program. Buckinghamshire New University in the United Kingdom confirmed that he enrolled in a remote study course in 2020 and graduated in 2023 with a degree in aviation management. The British institution clarified that his studies were strictly academic, confirming he did not undertake any pilot training or practical flight instruction at the school.
