FlyDubai pilot Smith Machchhar, who was attacked by a colleague on a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv, resisted and, according to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, helped prevent a “catastrophe of the scale of September 11th”. And passengers returning to Israel shared dramatic testimonies of the incident with the media.
Indian pilot Smit Machchhar is being hailed as a hero after he helped save passengers on a flydubai flight to Tel Aviv on Wednesday after he was stabbed in the cockpit by a colleague who was apparently trying to destroy the plane. Despite his injuries, the pilot opened the cockpit door, allowing others to enter and neutralize the attacker.
He's 39 years old, a father of two, and has just been hailed as a hero. It was Indian pilot Smit Machchhar who saved the lives of over 170 people on a Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv yesterday. He fended off an attack by his co-pilot and helped prevent the attacker from crashing the plane.
