WHO IS⁉️
Smit Machchhar was stabbed in the cockpit, then helped save a plane carrying around 180 people.
🇮🇳 Indian-born. Flydubai pilot. Survivor.
But above all: a HERO.
No words of praise are enough for Captain Smit Machchhar. At a time when we are busy fighting over caste, religion, politics, when our society is increasingly divided & the gaps among us widening, when hostility is growing across borders & the hunger for power & money seems to be consuming everything, there is a shining star who stood above it all. Without caring for his own life, Captain Smit Machchhar risked everything to save more than a hundred lives, most of them Israelis. Heroes like him remind us that humanity still has the power to rise above everything that divides us specially Izlamic terrorism
Fact: An unbelievably brave and bloodied Indian pilot fights off repeated stabbings by his Islamist co-pilot in a plummeting plane and saves 180 innocent lives by preventing a 9/11 style terror attack.
BBC:
Since the pilot who saved everyone is an Indian Hindu, Western Media is claiming him to be an Emirati pilot. Had he been the one trying to crash it, Western media would have exploded with glee & racists would have gone bonkers. Now, it is all silence for the "Emirati Pilot".
Just because he flies for an Emirati airline doesnt make him an Emirati pilot. He is an Indian, and a Gujarati.
#BREAKING: Top Israeli Govt sources tell me they have an idea who is behind the terrorist attack but will let investigations conclude. Israel treating this as a 9/11 style terrorist attack to destabilise Israel-UAE ties and Abraham Accords post Netanyahu’s successful UAE visit.
הגיבור הגדול הוא הקברניט...
לפי הפרטים הידועים כעת, הגיבור הראשי בנס הבוקר הוא הקברניט מאיחוד האמירויות. הקברניט נאבק במחבל שדקר אותו שוב ושוב. הוא פתח את הדלת כדי שנוסעים אחרים יוכלו להיכנס ולהציל את המטוס. הוא זה ששידר אותות מצוקה.
מתפלל לשלומו של הקברניט וממתין לשובם של כל הנוסעים הביתה - כולל הגיבורים הישראלים שסייעו להשתלט על המחבל.
Hace unos días se recibió información de inteligencia que indicaba que Irán planeaba secuestrar o derribar uno de nuestros aviones de pasajeros.
Tras recibir esta información, equipos del Shin Bet y del Mossad, junto con nuestros propios pilotos, fueron desplegados en varios vuelos de ida y vuelta hacia y desde Dubái.
Hoy se puso en marcha el plan, pero fracasó gracias a nuestras valientes fuerzas.
Am Israel Jai.
"The probability that a plane full of Israelis will contain a trained assault team, two additional pilots, and, statistically, at least one cardiac surgeon, psychologist, lawyer, and diamond dealer is substantially higher than 50%." 🎯
An Omani Muslim co-pilot stabbed the captain of a Dubai flight to Tel Aviv in a deliberate attempt to crash the plane with 173 passengers on board.
He shouted “Allahu Akbar” while carrying out the attack.
Same radical Islam bullshit. Every single time.
Flight routes aren’t just based on distance. They’re based on safe diversion airports in case of emergencies. In 2018 Air India became the first airline to commence direct flights to israel over Saudi airspace, Saudi guarantees for safe harbour like this were crucial.
Captain Smit Machchhar, an Indian national and former SpiceJet commander, was reportedly attacked and injured inside the cockpit by his co-pilot aboard Flydubai flight FZ1073.
He turned out to be the Saviour and Hero!
INDIAN SHIELD FOR ISRAELI LIVES
CAPTAIN SMIT MACHCHAR PUT DUTY ABOVE SELF
Brave Captain Smit Machchar was the pilot who suffered injuries after his Omani co-pilot stabbed him in an alleged attempt to hijack FlyDubai Flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv.
Machchar had worked for SpiceJet in India for several years before joining FlyDubai in 2022.
LET'S PRAY FOR THIS INDIAN BRAVEHEART'S RECOVERY.
💪 Passengers jumped into action to fight the attacker and used charging cables to restrain him. An Israeli dentist treated the injured pilot.
True heroism and bravery shown in the face of terror prevented an unthinkable mass-casualty atrocity.
UPDATE: Mossad has approved the aircraft crew set to fly the Israeli passengers back from Saudi Arabia.
The passengers have now boarded the plane, which is expected to take off shortly.
This is an Indian Hero Pilot Captain Smit Mac. The follow pilot tried to kill him, but he showing alertness called out to the crew and passengers. The open door of the cockpit helped. Salute Captain Sumit Machchhar.
Bro single handedly saved so many lives and thwarted what could have been a deadly attack. 🫡
Captain Smit Machchar, the pilot of Flydubai Flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv, was injured after his Omani co pilot allegedly attacked him in an attempted hijacking.
He still put duty above himself and kept the passengers safe.
Absolute bravery. Salute to this hero.🙏
Praying for his speedy recovery.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
"This morning, there was a serious security incident on a flight from Dubai to Israel. Almost all the passengers on the flight were Israelis. During the flight, as they approached the country, one of the pilots stabbed the second pilot, and apparently tried to crash the plane with everyone on board.
I spoke with one of the Israeli passengers. He told me that the plane went into a spin and began to dive. He told me that, somehow or other, he managed to break into the cockpit with one of the crew members, and that together they neutralized the stabbing pilot while he was trying to sabotage the plane's systems. Another flight crew on board entered the cockpit and managed to stabilize the plane.
I salute these heroes, who displayed exceptional resourcefulness and courage. They saved many lives. They prevented a huge disaster.
The plane landed safely at Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia. All passengers are out of danger. The stabbing pilot was arrested and is currently being interrogated by the Saudi authorities.
We are maintaining constant communication with the relevant authorities to ensure the ongoing well-being of the passengers and their safe return home.
I have instructed the security services to prepare for additional potential threats.
We are holding ongoing situation assessments, and we will update you as the situation develops."
