The captain of the FlyDubai plane involved in a terrifying incident on Wednesday is speaking publicly about his harrowing ordeal. Capt. Smit Machchhar is recovering in hospital after being allegedly stabbed by the co-pilot of the Israel-bound plane. He recounted the incident saying, “I was fighting for my life in the attack... But I also couldn’t let others die.” “I knew the plane was plunging to the ground. So, I said to myself make one last push to open the door. Somehow, I did it,” Machchhar added. The pilot spoke with Indian Prime Minister Modi on Friday, and is being lauded a hero. As Redmond Shannon reports, the pilot got emotional while recounting his close call.
