WorldIndian Pilot Smit Machchhar Foils Co-Pilot's Attempt to Crash Flydubai Flight
On a Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv, Indian pilot Smit Machchhar heroically fought off his co-pilot who stabbed him and intended to crash the plane, saving over 170 passengers. Machchhar sent emergency signals and unlocked the cockpit door, allowing passengers to overpower the attacker. This incident follows past deliberate pilot attacks, including FedEx Flight 705 in 1994, which killed at least 500 people in total.
