Israeli passengers tell of the horror onboard the Flydubai flight that was diverted after a pilot was stabbed.

What the coverage shows

All five outlets focus on the passengers arriving in Israel after the diverted Flydubai flight, and several mention that the aircraft landed after a pilot was stabbed in the cockpit. NBC News is the only one to foreground Netanyahu’s account of a rescue flight, while the New York Times, BBC News and CNN center passenger recollections of the attack and the onboard fear. Al Jazeera appears twice, once with the arrival and once with passenger testimony, making it the only outlet here to split the event into those two frames.
