@worldwiseglobalnewstadka: Smit Machchhar: The Pilot Who Fought Back Mid-Air To Save 174 Passengers At 33,000 feet, Flydubai Flight FZ1073 suddenly plunged into a terrifying mid-air emergency. Indian Captain Smit Machchhar was seriously injured during the cockpit attack, but still managed to open the cockpit door—giving passengers, crew and off-duty pilots a chance to intervene. The aircraft was diverted to Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, where it landed safely with all 174 people on board. A remarkable story of courage, quick action and survival at 30,000+ feet. #SmitMachchhar #Flydubai #IndianPilot #Aviation #FZ1073
