Netanyahu met the passenger who helped stop the attack in the flight deck of Flydubai and told him "without you it could have been September 11th".

Yaniv Hayon, a plumber still in a blood-stained shirt, said that he put the attacker in a chokehold and pulled back the controls.

He told Netanyahu that he was watching air crash investigation programs on TV, and that's how he knew how to withdraw the controls.

He has no aviation or military background mentioned in the reports.
