174 passengers aboard a flydubai Boeing 737 MAX 8 were flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv today when the aircraft suddenly dropped nearly 14,000 feet in under 30 seconds.

An Israeli official told Reuters that the captain and first officer got into a physical altercation in the cockpit. Passengers also reported a knife and a violent confrontation inside the cockpit, although those details have not been officially confirmed.

During the incident, the aircraft transmitted transponder codes 7700 and 7500, the latter indicating unlawful interference.

The Boeing diverted to Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. The company that operates Tabuk Airport said air traffic control received a distress call at 8:44 a.m. local time, with the aircraft requesting an emergency landing.

The plane landed safely about an hour later. The airport operator said both the captain and first officer were injured and taken to hospital, but did not say what caused their injuries.

Photos taken after landing show a substantial section of the aircraft’s rudder missing after the violent sequence of altitude changes.

flydubai said all passengers were safe and accounted for.
