Amit Bereshdesky (17), a 12th-grade student from Hod HaSharon, was traveling with his family on a three-week trip to Japan. On the return flight to Israel, a Flydubai flight, a hijacker attempted to take over the plane. Bereshdesky sat next to his two younger sisters, Tamar (15) and Mika (12). When the plane began to dive, one of the sisters fainted. Bereshdesky recorded the moments on his phone camera while calming them down, saying it was just "an air pocket."
