A HERO! In his own words - the Indian captain who refused to let 174 people die.
Captain Smit Machchhar was stabbed multiple times by his co-pilot, Hamam al-Hammami, as flydubai flight 1073 from Dubai to Tel Aviv plummeted 14,000 feet in under 30 seconds. Bleeding and barely able to move, he made one final push - opening the cockpit door to let Israeli passengers in to overpower the attacker.
Watch his account. This is what heroism looks like. #short
