Fears of aviation terrorism have resurfaced after a violent cockpit attack and suspected attempt to crash a flight bound for Israel. Authorities are investigating the incident as a potential terrorist attack. Intelligence agencies are probing whether the copilot had links to regional actors or Iran. DW's Ben Fajzullin asks Hans-Jakob Schindler from the Counter Extremism Project how someone reportedly banned from flying due to his extremist views, got back into the air and onto a flight to Tel Aviv.

The Indian guy was the Pilot, not the co-pilot

Thank you to the heroic Indian pilot, and the heroic Israeli passengers; a lot of lives were saved both on the plane and potentially other victims on the ground.

The fact that media nowadays makes this even a question is a sad state of affairs.

No matter what your theory is, it was the Indian brave heart pilot who saved the plane and lives of passengers. He acted calmly and decisively, and opened that cockpit door, inspite of being repeatedly attacked and stabbed by his first officer. It is hard to imagine his predicaments, and his timely actions need commendment of highest order. And that other fellow must be punished severely for his terrorist acts...

Malasiya airlines is also most likely pilot just took plane down. Pilot wants to take plae down, axe or no axe they have good chanse. So just make sure they are very sane

"I believe aircraft should feature an additional cabin screen displaying live footage of the pilot, or alternatively, cockpits should be equipped with fiberglass doors."

Is it still safe to go to a Christmas market in Germany?

So, issue was that this was a legit pilot with potentially extremists views and connections that was allowed to fly. With checks like that, not even physical partitioning of the cockpit could suffice, as two extremists pilots could find themselves in the cockpit. Maybe autonomous flying would mitigate the malicious pilot risks?

11:30 speaking of pilot psychological health, the Air India 787 crash is still unresolved but evidences point to 1 of the pilot being suicidal and shut off the engine fuel 😢

“Commercial airlines have recorded at least 8 to 10 major international incidents where a pilot or co-pilot intentionally brought down an aircraft resulting in mass fatalities.” according to Google.
4 planes were brought down by passengers.
Obviously how the cockpit door is closed and opened needs to be revised.

Co pilot was and is a terrorist not a attacker

Thank God I'm born in India. Atleast we know who are the terrorists and how to prevent terrorist attacks. They can't even differentiate what is what. Extremist, terrorist, lone wolf. You are reading the wrong book with wrong vocabulary. If you don't know the disease you can't diagnose it.

Wow.. western media has this tendency to be the judge what is terrorism and what is not terrorism according to their definition and interests 👏👏👏
No one gave them this right... 😅

We should have bulletproof glass cabin instead of the current cockpit. God knows what goes on there.

@charlesgrant-skiba5474 4 hours ago

Redesign the cockpit a little and put a small toilet for the pilots in there. That might help a bit.

@myopicchiwawa 1 hour ago

German wings experience should have led to EU rules that forbid one person in the cockpit.
If the pilot needs to use the toilet , a male flight atte don't needs to enter the cockpit to make sure the pilot isn't locked out.
