September 30Sep 30 BBC NewsIsrael Dubai flight: Pilots taken to hospital, says airpo...The mother of a passenger on the diverted plane says her daughter described people screaming as the plane dropped 17,000ft (5,200m) in less than two minutes.
September 30Sep 30 Ouch, horrible. Thank God there were no casualties 🙏This may appear as unsensitive, but I couldn't stop thinking about it: the first report of this was the thread at Airliners.net, where it simply said "Worrying flight data on Flydubai flight 1073 (squawk 7500 and 7700 rapid dive)". I can't imagine switching between 7500 and 7700 in an Airbus or an Embraer, where you type digit by digit, without a standby.
