The flydubai passenger Netanyahu called a hero carries 10's Late News past a quarter million

Seventeen hours after it went up, the late bulletin's report was running more than eighty times ahead of a usual first day for 10 News, and well ahead of the channel's own follow-ups on the same flight.

Netanyahu Praises ‘Hero’ Passenger Who Intervened In Attempted Hijacking | 10’s Late News

For the third time in a few days, a clip from 10's Late News has run far ahead of everything else the Australian broadcaster posts. The earlier surges came from interest rates and recession fears. This one comes from an aircraft cabin.

The report covers the attempted hijacking on board a flydubai flight bound for Tel Aviv, which, the description says, is now at the center of a terrorism investigation. At its heart is a short video in which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seen thanking a passenger and calling him a hero for helping to intervene.

It had passed 250,000 views by its seventeenth hour. A new upload on this channel usually draws a few thousand in its whole first day.

10 News stayed with the story the next day. A shorter cut of the same Netanyahu moment went up under the regular 10 News banner, and a follow-up report with new details from the flight came after it. Neither has come close to the late-night version, which is still the one people are finding.
