Chaos erupted on a commercial flight from Dubai to Israel yesterday when an apparent brawl broke out between the pilots, forcing the aircraft to make an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia. The flight, operated by flydubai, was in Jordanian airspace when the incident occurred, leaving 150 passengers on board. Eyewitnesses described the scene as "absolute pandemonium" as the pilots clashed in the cockpit. Authorities have since launched an investigation into the incident, which is believed to have been sparked by a disagreement over flying procedures.
