Captain Smit Machchhar, the pilot of a Flydubai flight, recounted to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi how he responded during a cockpit attack by his co-pilot. According to Captain Machchhar, he deliberately unlocked the cockpit door during the assault to allow other crew members and passengers access. This action, he stated, was motivated by a determination to prevent further loss of life. The incident occurred on a Flydubai flight, the details of which have not been fully released. Captain Machchhar emphasized his commitment to ensuring the safety of those on board, explaining he “was not going to let others die.” Details surrounding the co-pilot’s motives and the full extent of the attack are still under investigation by authorities in India. The pilot’s actions are being praised as heroic, potentially averting a far greater tragedy.
