迪拜航空副驾驶用驾驶舱里的斧子砍伤机长，乘客冲进去救下了整架飞机

On a plane, there's something most people don't know about.

It's kept behind the pilots.

This thing is called an axe.

An axe is for opening doors.

You know what a door is.

Your home has doors, schools have doors, and planes have doors too.

When a door on a plane won't open, the pilots can use the axe to open it.

An axe is a good thing to have.

But on September 30th, someone used this axe to attack a person.

The person he attacked was a pilot.

Let's look at what it was like on the plane that day.

That morning, a plane was in Dubai.

迪拜 is Dubai.

This plane was going to Israel.

以色列 is Israel.

There were 174 people on the plane.

At the front of the plane were two pilots.

One pilot was named Smit.

Smit had been flying planes for seventeen years.

The other pilot was young.

The plane flew for a little over two hours and climbed to ten thousand meters.

Then the young man picked up the axe.

He attacked Smit with the axe.

Smit was badly hurt; he was on the floor and couldn't get up.

What was the young man trying to do?

He wanted the plane to go down, all the way to the ground.

He wanted none of the 174 people on board to make it home.

The plane went down, fast, very fast.

In two minutes, the plane dropped five thousand meters.

The passengers were all terrified.

Think about it: if you were on a plane and it was dropping fast, wouldn't you be scared?

But Smit thought: I have to open the door.

Behind the pilots there is a door.

People outside can't open this door.

Smit was on the floor, badly hurt, but he still opened the door.

The door opened.

The passengers could see inside.

A few passengers ran in.

They grabbed the man with the axe.

They dragged him out.

Now, who would fly the plane?

Smit couldn't fly anymore.

But on the plane, there were two other people who could fly.

They weren't working that day; they were passengers too.

These two pilots sat down and started flying the plane.

The plane stopped going down.

Twelve minutes later, the plane was flying normally again.

In the end, the plane didn't go to Israel.

It went to Saudi Arabia.

沙特 is Saudi Arabia.

The plane landed in Saudi Arabia.

All 174 people got off the plane.

Smit was badly hurt, but he didn't die.

A doctor who was a passenger on the plane stayed with him the whole time.

Now, Smit is in the hospital.

An axe is for opening doors.

That day, a man used an axe to attack someone.

But Smit opened the door, the passengers ran in, and the pilots flew the plane.

Everyone on this plane made it home.

Think about it: if you were on this plane, would you run in?
