The passenger’s account concerns an incident in which the cockpit was breached and a stabbing took place. He said he intervened by placing the attacker in a chokehold.

Other passengers described the moment as terrifying, particularly after the aircraft dropped during the incident. Their accounts provide a separate perspective on the disruption experienced in the cabin as events unfolded.
