The flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv flew normally for two and a half hours before the plane signaled an emergency code indicating an unlawful interference of the aircraft. Flight radar data shows it then dropped 14,000 in 30 seconds. The plane regained altitude and, an hour and a half later, landed safely in Saudi Arabia. Family members are now anxiously waiting at the airport in Israel for their loved ones, who are expected to arrive later today. It is still unclear exactly what happened on this plane, but Saudi officials say the pilot and co-pilot were hospitalized with injuries. And an Israeli official said thanks to the crew, quote, "attacker was subdued before something much worse happened." Gayle. I'm so glad they're all right. If I was a passenger, I'd be really, really pissed when I found out that was the reason. Lee, thank you very much.
