00:02:03.840 the thousands of bucks in equity in your home.
00:02:07.040 A scammer can use AI to craft the perfect document
00:02:09.760 that they file with the county transferring your home into their name
00:02:13.360 and then use your ownership to take out loans or sell it for quick cash.
00:02:17.760 This is evil.

00:03:12.580 A terrifying attempt at hijacking reportedly unfolding aboard a passenger jet
00:03:17.080 carrying more than 170 people from Dubai to Tel Aviv.
00:03:21.140 Israeli officials say the co-pilot stabbed the pilot and apparently tried to crash the plane.
00:03:26.040 The chaos beginning roughly two and a half hours after Fly Dubai Flight 1073 left Dubai early Wednesday morning.
00:03:33.120 The Associated Press reporting a fight broke out between the two pilots, one of them armed with a knife.
00:03:38.180 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying the attacker stabbed the other pilot and, quote,
00:03:43.180 apparently just tried to crash the plane with everyone on board.
00:03:47.560 The jet then suddenly plunging, dropping from roughly 33,000 feet to 17,000 feet in about
00:03:53.540 a minute, according to AP's review of Flight Radar 24 data.
00:03:57.720 As the emergency unfolded, Flight Radar 24 reporting the plane first began broadcasting
00:04:02.520 Squawk 7700, the international code for a general emergency.
00:04:07.280 Minutes later, the code switching to Squawk 7500, signaling unlawful interference aboard
00:04:12.180 the aircraft and a possible hijacking.
00:04:14.640 Reuters reporting the wounded pilot had apparently managed to release the cockpit door before
00:04:19.160 collapsing, allowing people outside to get in.
00:04:22.420 A passenger and crew member reportedly rushing into the cockpit and subduing the alleged
00:04:26.500 attacker as others helped secure the flight deck.
00:04:29.460 Two other Fly Dubai pilots who were traveling aboard the flight then moving into the cockpit,
00:04:34.000 taking control of the Boeing 737 MAX and stabilizing the aircraft.
00:04:38.100 Israel reportedly scrambling fighter jets as officials feared the passenger plane had
00:04:42.140 been hijacked.
00:04:42.780 The fly Dubai pilots ultimately diverting to Tabuk in northwestern Saudi Arabia,
00:04:48.080 landing safely roughly an hour after the aircraft first began its dramatic descent.
00:04:53.080 Saudi officials saying both pilots were taken for medical treatment,
00:04:56.440 video taken by passengers aboard the plane showing two bloodied men on the floor of the aircraft
00:05:00.740 as people rendered medical aid and guarded the cockpit.
00:05:04.220 Indian National Captain Smit Mouchcher taken to the hospital after the stabbing,
00:05:08.380 the Indian embassy in Saudi Arabia saying he is in stable condition.
00:05:12.780 all passengers reportedly escaping without serious injury.
00:05:16.520 After roughly eight hours on the ground in Saudi Arabia,
00:05:19.260 the passengers finally leaving aboard a replacement fly-Dubai aircraft.
00:05:23.000 That plane arriving at Bangurian Airport outside Tel Aviv Wednesday evening.
00:05:27.320 Passengers greeted by cheering family members as people aboard
00:05:29.900 reportedly sang and chanted after surviving the ordeal.
00:05:33.780 Netanyahu praising the passengers and crew who stepped in to stop the attack in this translated clip.
00:05:38.540 I salute those heroes who were resourceful and discovered resourcefulness and saved the plane.
00:05:48.320 Netanyahu is saying the pilot accused of carrying out the stabbing was arrested after landing
00:05:52.180 and has been questioned by Saudi authorities.
00:05:55.040 Reuters reporting an Israeli official identified the alleged attacker as an Omani national.
00:05:59.960 A motive has not yet been established.
00:06:01.860 Israeli officials investigating whether the incident was terrorism.
00:06:04.800 One Israeli security official telling CBS News, authorities are examining whether the co-pilot was attempting a 9-11-style attack and whether anyone else was involved.
00:06:14.440 We spoke with retired decorated U.S. Navy F-18 fighter pilot and Top Gun graduate Wiz Buckley,
00:06:20.280 who says the first major question is how someone suspected of trying to bring down an Israel-bound passenger jet was ever allowed into that cockpit.
00:06:27.780 Who's in the front of the airplane obviously is a big deal.
00:06:30.760 I'm shocked, to be honest with you.
00:06:32.700 This is a this is a salute failure of Israeli security.
00:06:37.060 I mean, they know anybody flying into Israel, they know everything about you.
00:06:41.200 Passengers, you know, the Mossad's in the ticket line, talking to people, interviewing people.
00:06:46.280 I'm shocked. And I just saw either Netanyahu or his office just put out like, yeah, we're going to reevaluate, you know, non-Israelis pilots actually flying into our country.
00:06:55.720 I'm absolutely stunned that the state of Israel doesn't even have diplomatic relations with Oman, but this guy is allowed to fly into Israel. Sadly, whether it was 9-11 or Israel's almost 9-11, that's when we have to tighten things up. And I'm shocked. I'm shocked. The Mossad, the Shin Bet, whatever intelligence service in Israel, let this guy get into an airliner and fly to Israel. I'm stunned.
00:07:25.720 Buckley saying investigators will also need to determine exactly what weapon was used and how
00:07:30.240 it wound up inside one of the most restricted areas of the aircraft. You're not playing racquetball
00:07:35.480 in the cockpit of a 737-800. It's kind of tight in there. So that's why you're seeing all the
00:07:41.140 blood and all that type of stuff. The other security failure that we, Israel, obviously
00:07:46.800 has to look into is how'd this guy get a knife? I mean, if we're screening all the passengers,
00:07:51.800 did they fail to screen the air crew?
00:07:54.080 I seriously doubt that.
00:07:56.000 Was there inside help?
00:07:57.320 Did somebody, you know,
00:07:58.640 get this, wave this guy through security?
00:08:00.580 Did somebody plant a knife in the cockpit?
00:08:03.460 So either security failed to find this guy with a knife,
00:08:07.060 somebody planted a knife in the cockpit for him,
00:08:09.300 or he'd potentially use the crash axe
00:08:12.040 that's already in the cockpit.
00:08:13.880 Buckley telling us the fact
00:08:14.940 there happened to be another qualified fly Dubai crew aboard
00:08:17.760 may be the single reason this ended without mass casualties.
00:08:20.800 That is a grace of God moment. Fly Dubai just confirmed that that was an on-duty crew.
00:08:29.360 They were either coming off a trip or reporting to a trip. So the fact that two Fly Dubai aircrew
00:08:36.180 were on board and flew that aircraft is just an act of God. Otherwise, we would be talking about
00:08:44.060 an absolute tragedy. The U.S. Supreme Court clearing the way for Tennessee to execute the
00:08:50.240 only woman on the state's death row, reversing a last-minute reprieve granted earlier in the day.
00:08:56.240 Krista Pike's execution halted yesterday morning by a federal appeals court,
00:09:00.360 roughly an hour before she was scheduled to die by lethal injection. The Supreme Court
00:09:04.700 stepping in last night at Tennessee's request, lifting that stay and allowing the execution to
00:09:09.180 move forward. The 50-year-old convicted of murdering 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer in Knoxville
00:09:14.560 in 1995 when Pike was just 18 years old. Investigators saying Pike attacked Slemmer
00:09:20.020 on the University of Tennessee Agricultural Campus, eventually killing her by smashing
00:09:24.180 her in the head with a chunk of asphalt. Pike reportedly keeping a piece of Slemmer's skull
00:09:29.140 after the murder, according to WVLT. The killing drawing national attention after Slemmer was found
00:09:34.860 with an inverted pentagram carved into her chest. Pike's then-boyfriend later testifying that he was
00:09:40.280 the one who carved the symbol. Investigators saying jealousy was the motive, Pike believing
00:09:44.900 Slemmer was interested in her boyfriend. Pike convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced
00:09:49.860 to death in 1996, her boyfriend receiving a life sentence because he was 17 at the time of the
00:09:55.120 murder. Pike later acknowledging it took her years to fully understand the gravity of what she had
00:10:00.280 done. Her conduct behind bars also including another violent crime, Pike convicted in 2001
00:10:06.060 of attempted first-degree murder for attacking a fellow inmate.
00:10:09.660 Her attorney spending years arguing the jury that sentenced Pike to death
00:10:12.920 never heard the full extent of her deeply troubled childhood.
00:10:16.600 A psychologist hired by the defense reportedly documenting severe neglect,
00:10:20.120 along with repeated physical and sexual abuse beginning when Pike was a child.
00:10:24.660 Pike's trial attorney deciding not to call that psychologist at trial,
00:10:28.240 and later attorneys arguing Pike had received ineffective assistance of counsel.
00:10:32.300 That argument failing in the courts.
00:10:33.780 A federal judge rejecting Pike's habeas petition in 2016.
00:10:38.160 Pike recently seeking executive clemency from Republican Governor Bill Lee.
00:10:42.040 Governor Lee announcing Monday he would not intervene, saying he was allowing the sentence
00:10:46.000 imposed by the state to stand.
00:10:48.100 Pike taking another request to the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:10:51.100 The justices denying both her application for a stay and her petition for review Tuesday night.
00:10:56.260 That appeared to leave Pike out of options.
00:10:58.840 Then yesterday morning, another federal challenge producing a last-minute stay.
00:11:02.940 The Sixth Circuit saying it needs additional time to consider whether Pike can reopen proceedings involving allegations of childhood sexual abuse and whether those claims received adequate consideration in her earlier case.
00:11:15.220 Tennessee immediately asking the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the stay and allow the execution to proceed.
00:11:20.820 The justices agreeing Wednesday evening, clearing the way for Tennessee to carry out Pike's execution.
00:11:26.560 Slemmer's mother speaking to Knoxville TV station WBIR in 2021,
00:11:31.200 saying she wants the sentence to be carried out.
00:11:34.000 What I want to see from the judge right now would be to get a date and put her down
00:11:39.100 instead of waiting another year or another day.
00:11:42.660 There's not a day go by now to think about Colleen or how she died and how rough it was.
00:11:48.360 And I just want Krista down so I can end it, relieve my daughter so she finally can be resting.
00:11:54.400 Honestly, my heart breaks every single day because I keep reliving it and reliving it.
00:12:00.020 And I can't no more.
00:12:01.300 And I want this to happen before I die.
00:12:04.680 Otherwise, nobody will see justice.
00:12:08.380 Coming up, Sean Diddy Combs reportedly turning federal prison into something closer to a VIP experience.
00:12:14.680 Inmates describing the money, booze, special meals, and personal staff surrounding him behind bars.
00:12:19.460 and Kristi Noem ending a 34-year marriage
00:12:22.420 after her husband was exposed
00:12:24.040 living a very different online life,
00:12:26.280 complete with pink hot pants
00:12:27.720 and an obsession with enormous fake breasts.
00:12:35.560 I have got to talk to you about Cozy Earth's

00:13:45.440 NBC News reporting the details after speaking to four men who have spent time in Combs'
00:13:49.740 unit at Fort Dix Federal Prison in New Jersey, granting them anonymity to speak freely about
00:13:54.640 life inside.
00:13:55.960 The network also reviewing photos and videos reportedly taken inside the prison, including
00:14:00.300 footage appearing to show Combs using a contraband cell phone.
00:14:03.800 Combs now serving a 50-month sentence after last year's blockbuster federal trial in
00:14:08.360 New York.
00:14:09.420 A judge sentencing Combs in October to four years and two months in federal prison, and

00:14:24.540 Sources telling the network Combs has acquired contraband cell phones, alcohol, drugs, and a
00:14:29.200 growing group of inmates paid to take care of him. One inmate describing Fort Dix's black market this
00:14:34.180 way, quote, you can pretty much get anything except a key to the front door and a female. NBC
00:14:39.660 reporting Combs has spent thousands of dollars a month inside the prison, money sent from people
00:14:43.980 on the outside into the commissary accounts of inmates doing work for him. That includes inmates
00:14:49.200 paid to clean the toilet and shower before Combs uses them, others handling his laundry and making
00:14:54.040 his bed, and one man giving him massages. His meals reportedly getting an upgrade too. Sources

00:15:44.960 especially behind bars. Combs is spokesperson pushing back on NBC's report, arguing the media
00:15:50.520 is turning ordinary details of prison life into news and saying Combs remains focused on serving

00:16:49.360 Brian had been communicating online with women involved in the so-called bimbofication fetish
00:16:54.460 scene, reviewing hundreds of messages reportedly sent to three women. Among them, Brian allegedly
00:16:59.840 writing that he loved, quote, huge, huge, ridiculous boobs. The mail also publishing an image it said
