Mother and four daughters survive flydubai hijacking after praying for a miracle

A mother and her four young daughters survived the hijacking of flydubai Flight 1073, during which she instructed her children to pray for a miracle as the plane plunged 18,000 feet. The incident occurred when co-pilot Hamam al-Hammami attacked pilot Smit Machchhar, who was stabbed multiple times but fought back to alert passengers. Fellow traveler Yaniv Hayun helped restrain the hijacker and stabilize the aircraft using knowledge from a documentary series. The plane made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia with damage to its rudder, and all 173 passengers survived. The family is now recovering at home, with the mother dismissing social media claims that the attack was staged.
