Retired Navy fighter pilot Matthew “Whiz” Buckley says the Flydubai flight that made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia descended roughly 20,000 feet in 30 seconds. Israeli officials are reportedly investigating the incident as an attempted terror attack. Buckley described the descent as “incredibly violent,” saying radar data indicated the aircraft exceeded its maximum operating speed by 100 knots. “Thank God,” he said, adding that the incident could have been much worse. https://bitter.st/Breaking911/status/2105294690614423834#m
