US President Donald Trump praised Yaniv Hayon, the Israeli plumber who was among the heroes of the terror flight from Dubai, and offered him a job at the White House. Trump said: "He's a guy after my own style. He can be my plumber, he can be whatever he wants." The incident occurred on a Flydubai flight from Dubai to Israel, after the terrorist, the co-pilot, attacked the captain and tried to take control of the plane. Israeli passengers who noticed what was happening intervened quickly, subdued the attacker, and prevented him from continuing the hijacking attempt. After neutralizing the attacker, the cockpit was left without normal operational capability; Hayon was among the passengers who assisted during the dramatic moments until the safe landing. The plane eventually landed in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, with all passengers saved. Trump praised Hayon for learning to fly a plane by watching the TV show "Air Disasters."
