Passenger credits Mayday show for helping stabilize FlyDubai flight (cbsnews.com)

A passenger on FlyDubai Flight 1073 used techniques from the TV show "Mayday" to help stabilize the aircraft after the co-pilot stabbed the captain and the plane dove more than 17,000 feet in two minutes. Yaniv Hayun ran to the cockpit, pulled back on the controls, and the plane leveled out before two off-duty pilots took over and made an emergency landing in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. The captain, an Indian national, fought off the co-pilot and unlocked the cockpit door, and no passengers were seriously injured.
