A Flydubai passenger has described holding his young children and trying to reassure them as the aircraft plunged more than 17,000ft during an attack.
Adam Polovincik said he told the children that “everything is going to be all right” while the plane descended by about 5,200 metres. His account focuses on the moments of fear as the aircraft rapidly lost altitude.
Polovincik’s description provides a personal account of the incident from inside the passenger cabin, highlighting the distress experienced by families on board. No further details about the attack, the flight’s route or the aircraft’s subsequent condition are provided in the supplied material.
