Am Israel Chai. FlyDubai is further proof

The account still settling is brutal in its simplicity. A man in the cockpit tried to turn the aircraft into a grave. A wounded captain opened a door. Crew and passengers moved toward a knife. Someone still knew how to land. They came home. They sang. {Rabbi Dr. Michael Leo Samuel]
