This was on Channel 7 news tonight.

Apparently the passenger attacked the pilot forcing him to make an emergency landing.

If you didn't see or hear the ATC audio recording on Nine news tonight, it is rather disturbing. The panic in the pilots voice is obvious.

The crew of REX 177 (Orange - Sydney) try to get involved and assist however the pilot can hardly respond to them and it's obvious a fight is in progress.

I can't seem to find a file containing the audio online.

Cheers
